Yielding is softer than heavy.Yielding to Soft is like a swamp.The best ground is good to heavy.

i've always thought yielding equates to soft
if it says heavy over there, its probably the worst ground imaginable! |

By:
Robo has these ground descriptions, by the nuts...

By:
Don't know about the UK but the best way I could put it from an Irish racing perspective is that you have yielding, then soft, then heavy.

By:
it means good to soft umbro its when it has started to dry and goes that tacky way [;)]
|

By:
the thing is what ever the official description
you would get some jockeys saying its very testing and others that the horses are getting through it well  |

Good
Yielding (good to soft but drying out) Good to Soft Soft Heavy That's how I understand it anyway |
|
By:
Thanks everyone, I'd always thought Yielding was somewhere between Soft and Heavy,
but is in fact somewhere between good and soft No wonder I keep losing  |

By:
Always thought it was somewhere around Good to soft.

Official BHA Going Classifications.
Hard-Like a road(redcar in summer) Firm- (watered where necessary-ie dont tell the trainers its like a road) good-firm- (watering on the bends,no grass coverage spiked shoes necessary) good- (its a miracle it rained this morning) good-soft (cheltenham opening day description,ie very fast) soft-(not too bad really.good jumping ground,if your horse is 23 hands high) heavy-(drainage work during the year has worked well,only 855 unraceable. |

By:
something to bear in mind - the perceived wisdom is that soft ground in Ireland is really quite soft; ie would be at least bordering on heavy in England. i have no idea whether this actually translates well to differences in a going stick.

By:
The official Irish term for good to soft is yielding.
Good to soft is not used in Irish going descriptions. Likewise, yielding is not used in UK official going descriptions. |
