Ascot ground watered after day of records
BY GRAHAM DENCH 6:42PM 16 JUN 2010 ASCOT was watered on Wednesday evening with the aim of producing ground "somewhere between what we had on day one and day two", according to clerk of the course Chris Stickels. Bright sunshine and a fresh wind saw the going change to good to firm, good in places before racing on Wednesday, from good, and there were course records in the Jersey Stakes, the Hunt Cup and the Queen Mary. The wind was from behind in the straight, which was clearly a factor, and it must be remembered that the new track is still in its infancy, having reopened only in 2005. Stickels, who reported 3mm of evapotranspiration on Tuesday and "probably a little more" yesterday, said: "Thewind was clearly a factor in the records and the jockeys weren't complaining. "I'm going to put 6mm on the straight course tonight and 4mm on the round course. That should take us back to either good, good to firm in places or good to firm, good in places - somewhere between what we had on Tuesday and today." He expects Thursday's weather to be "similar, but with slightly less wind". |

Plenty of watering to be done on that far rail I think for Stickells - the watering can will be out already.

The going will be good for day one of Royal Ascot and Chris Stickels, the Ascot clerk of the course, said: "There is the chance of a shower before racing but hopefully we won't get too much. It should be warm after that and the ground is good."
Sums up the bloke - he is now willing no more rain hits the course given he has over-watered the track already. |
