Exactly Daryl. If grass isn't cut too short it doesn't require watering. Throughout the year there'll be firm ground for long periods which is safe for horses that go on it. Then the heavens will open and there'll be a few days of soft ground for those types. It's luck of the draw with what the heavens deliver, but it should end these farces.

rograin, lovely tale. At the risk of prolonging the thread, let me tell you my Peslier tale. A few years ago we went to a great place in Deauville. Used to leave Racing Posts outside of a morning for people to take. Shut now sadly. Forgotten the name. My mate had won large on Banks Hill in USA a few years back and, on his way to the gents, said well done to OP who was there with his partner and another couple. An hour later, when we were nursing cognacs, the owner (who sort of knew us) came over to our table and said OP was grateful for the appreciation and would we care to join the table for a digestif. We spent 30 or 40 minutes chatting away partaking of the most amazing armagnac which OP had bought because he had said that he would buy a big drink for his mate and his wife when he, the trainer, had his first runner in a G1 (which he had ridden with no success that afternoon). I had never had a drink like it (and I love my armagnacs). Over a few more later in the evening my mate Googled the bottle to discover that it was as rare as rocking horse etc and a bottle had just been sold at auction for E20,000!!!!! It was undoubtedly the bottle we had! What a day. What a guy.
