How come York are still giving it as good!!

precisely, 

cleck of the course in bar job done , doesnt want to go outside as its raining

It Looks like feckin Agincourt out there

First six races at York bookmaker sponsored, no other explanation required imo.

what are the times like ? not had a look yet

They spent fortunes on drainage, and re-laying the course - after the Ebor meeting abandonment a couple of  years ago.

- as Manny might say ... ' and you expect them to say it's soft?'

couple of races 2sec's+
