Going - Soft (Heavy in places) a great example of knowing where to put the going stick..... |

By:
It was 100% definitely officially 'Heavy, soft in places' (so heavy was the winner for betting purposes).
https://www.express.co.uk/sport/horseracing/931514/Cheltenham-2018-going-Day-two-conditions-Ladies-Day-ground-change https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2018/mar/13/cheltenham-festival-2018-champion-hurdle-day-live?page=with:block-5aa7d960e4b0ccc2e5bc5bea&filterKeyEvents=false For some reason the Sporting Life result page for the 2018 Supreme says Soft, heavy in places and even Timeform show it as just soft - both are incorrect. |

Hi I'm 20 mins walk from the course and confirm there was quite a drop of rain overnight. Not too hard but sustained. I see the official racecourse page is showing soft all round on the old course and that feels about right. Not much rain this year though so I suspect unless more rain it should drain away with a low water table. Some unsettled weather on Wednesday but not sure if it'll be too heavy. Tomorrow will almost certainly be soft though.

By:
Is that list horses who have performed at their very best on heavy ground or just won on heavy ground beating maybe vastly inferior opposition?
|
|
By:
Won on heavy only mate, except the ultima, loads of them on there.
I was at cheltenham once when it peed down all day , venetia had a double and another time shishkin fecked it and nichols bottled it with bravemansgame. You make a very good point never the less. |
