possibly honcho .....They have so much technology there now it beggars belief how they could make such a c0ck up

I'm not sure what c0ck he made to be honest. The ground was lightning quick on Tuesday.If the forecast of just 2-5mm was correct it needed a bit of water surely?

Venetia Williams was delighted by course conditions on days 234. There are two sides to every coin.

Where does he get his weather info? Every forecast I saw was for persistent, heavy rain on the Wednesday. I was astonished to hear he was going to water. If I can find out what the weather's going to be sitting in my chair, why can't someone who has a multi-million pound business depending on it?

When I say c@ck up or conspiracy I’m referring specifically to the repeated inability of the Cheltenham CoC to provide an accurate description of the going prior to the start of a race meeting.
The decision to water prior to a deluge is a separate matter (and ultimately, given the volume of rain, had no impact on the going) but again the CoC described the going as Soft immediately prior to race 1 on Wednesday only for the jockeys to report back that it was Heavy. |

strontium, I live in the BBC south west region (including Cheltenham) and I can assure you that on the Tuesday evening news the forecast showed the rain belt well to the east and south of our area although the forecaster did warn that the areas to be affected on Wednesday were uncertain. At no time did they forecast any more than light showery rain so the arrival of an inch took them completely by surprise as they admitted on Wednesday evening news.

That's interesting Sage - the national BBC forecast had it pishing down (though noone prediced the huge amount of rain that actually fell).

I think that Tiger Roll getting beat on the Wednesday helped the ground conditions immensely

The bha have it stipulated that the festival must start on ground slower than good. Doesnt matter what the COC thinks ! No NH racing in u k can start if "firm" is in the going.
