Bit of rain overnight, but dry at the moment.
Looks like it could piss it down later on though. |

Yifter, will your remit at C4 include weather f/casts
 , and briefly I noteyour ltd posts,(65 in 11 years) on here, couldn't you spare the forum a little more of your time and wisdom. As you will soon become omnipresent, across all media platforms. Newspaper columns, betting shops previews, RUK, and now terrestrial tv. (Have I missed any out) Be nice if you could post some of your views "ON THIS GREAT SPORT OF OURS". Maybe some views, you don't receive monies from. If I may be so bold |

Haydock clerk of the course Kirkland Tellwright has warned of increasingly attritional ground conditions ahead of Saturday's Betfair Chase.
Long Run, second to Kauto Star in the race last year, will face five rivals in the contest as he aims to make a winning return to action. Up-and-coming Charlie Hall Chase winner Silviniaco Conti heads the opposition, with Gold Cup runner-up The Giant Bolster and the enigmatic Weird Al also set to line up along with likely outsiders Cannington Brook and Wayward Prince. However with the going at Haydock already officially soft, Tellwright is expecting further rain in the build-up to the race. "We're due another half an inch at some point on Thursday, then 3mm or so more on Friday before it turns drier," he told sportinglife.com. "It's already soft and it's hard to see how we won't be left with some 'heavy' in the ground if the rain arrives as forecast - the question is how much." |

Cant understand Pumpkinhead pulling Tidal Bay out this early
 should have at least left it until tomorrow after racing |

By:
Zilzal, it drifted to 18s on here late last night, some books were quoting 8s and 9s
You could smell it  |

It isn't, "65 posts in 11 years." ... The number of 'Replies' shown - is ONLY since this New style Forum was created, and consequently started counting them - around 3 years ago. |

Just wondering if the expected 12mm of rain has started to fall as yet
Cheers!! |

In Stretford approx. 20 miles from Haydock and still no rain here....blowing a hooley, mind

By:
in fairness, think the rain was forecast for 3pm-6pm here, so bit premature yet

can see OT from the end of our street...on the plus side, i've only been to one Utd match there...that was with about half a dozen Palace friends of mine when they knocked MU out of the Carling Cup last year....we got to the ground and back by barge (fully licensed)...was most enjoyable

By:
That would be the night of the '30 yard screamer' - at the Stretford end, too!

By:
welll i live about 25 miles away in deepest darkest cheshire..............wet and windy at the moment with prospect of more to come !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|
By:
in that case, skip, i think we can conclude with some certitude that it's windy at Haydock!
|
|
By:
From the looks of it, it'll be pissing it down in the next half hour.
