arc could be soft

what radio station was that tambhoy5?cant see it being too soft but would certainly bring reliable man and one or 2 others back into the reckoning if it was....

Loose Ground....................................funny result....................NAP!

Disgraceful

Will not be soft,told you days ago they were watering to produce good ground,walked course yesterday and was just easy side of good.Will be perfect tomorrow,no excuses for anyone.[;)]

Still disgraceful, should not be allowed to water within 48 hours of a meeting. After final decs that should be it, let alone during a meeting

betfair radio.said it will get in after the top been knocked off today.and that they are doing it on the fly late tonight.

Im not a fan of the watering can zilzal  but would much rather have near perfect ground for the Arc than any firm in the description.Fresh strip tomorrow is in beautiful nick,any UK CoC would be very happy to equal it.

Up until 48 hours im neutral, but during racing no way. They seem to manage in the Us, HK, Oz and Japan with firm in the going all right.

Gosden wont be happy if he walks a squelchy course after pulling Nathaniel and putting in MM

Tambhoy,dont listen to those muppets,I told the forum on Monday the plan was to water and yesterday that that they would sprinkle it Fri and Sat.

Clowns saying it is on the sly,as bad as Racing Post and their slack reporting imo.

Whatever anyone has backed cant have the ground as an excuse for losing,if a horse cannot win on that track it will be another factor.gl all whatever your bet.

What about the straight course?? any racing on it today, didnt watch the racing

Btw,by muppets I meant the radio gaga lot,not the posters.[;)]

There were 4 races over 1 mile ... No Racing Post Standard Time, apparently...

Judging by the 10 furlong standard - we would be looking at around 1m 35s for 1 mile.

2-yr-old CLAIMER - 1m 42.55s

3-yr-old Handicap - 1m 39.86s

3-yr-old GROUP 2 - 1m 38.23s

3-yr-old Handicap - 1m 40.42s

At least with the Breeders cup you only have to worry about the weather, I think SMS thought they were going to water for him last year


Best meeting in the world for punting nowdays re information to the general public about conditions and how the tracks riding imo

Virgin ground since last meeting zilzal,slighly less give as well.

Cheers
