knocked the idea on the head because they would have to water for months for the plate, then you would get false ground come the jumps season was the answer.

given that they lose a lot of winter meetings it would make sense to race similar to what hexham do
run the eider in feb to early june then run the plate on the hurdle course
then have a break over the summer and race early oct-end of nov for a few meetings including the fighting fifth
2 annual breaks giving the grass time to recover

Sensible strategy - wondersobright.

Trouble is, though, the Track Owners (ARC - The All-Weather Track racing MOB) will not see such a suggestion in a similar light.
