Nearly every flat turf meeting so far has had its worst ground in years. Has it really rained that much recently Confused

Musselburgh only one that has had decent ground.

George,

The last time the number was that low was October 2019 and look what happened:

ABANDONED Waterlogged Day of Racing MEETING ABANDONED WATERLOGGED    3.5 on 15-10-2019 at 06:15

Indeed china, the water tables must be on the high side, been some ridiculously slow times.

Cheers for that Anorak, and it looks like they may get some more rain tomorrow, though the forecast suggests the heaviest of it will be to the south of them. I've looked on the BHA updates page and the course's twitter account but no inspection called yet.

'Just' the 35 seconds outside standard for the opener, with the two from the Gosden and Balding yards finishing legless behind the 50 length winner, and 40 lengths between the other two.

Going change: heavy, bottomless in places.

I hope Spirit In My Soul 3.45 likes it. The betting suggests it might!

10-1ew for me.

Report TOP3MAN April 14, 2023 8:14 PM BST
