how long is Southwell delayed for each race ?

20 mins.

12.50 first race

You'd think the 'raceday live' part of the RP would be giving the details, but all they do is print up their usual rubbish about most tipped and a 'result' for the 12.30...

he knows.

There will be jump racing in Britain on Wednesday after Southwell passed its morning inspection and a further check before racing.

The cancellation of Newbury's card meant the Nottinghamshire track was the only chance of racing away from all-weather cards at Kempton and Newcastle, and the course was deemed fit to race before its inspection at 8am with temperatures failing to drop below 0C overnight and fleece covering the track.

Officials, jockeys and trainers assessed conditions again around midday due to concerns over frost in the ground but racing has been given the go-ahead. The first race will now be at 12.50.

The going is soft, good to soft in places for the seven-race card, which includes the return of Hillsin for his new trainer Alan Jones. The hurdler was suspended from running for 40 days after finishing third in a Worcester handicap when with Chris Honour in July.

"We're really, really pleased," clerk of the course David Attwood said on Wednesday morning. "We had some sub-zero temperatures for the last two nights and it really helped that we got the fleece down early on Friday afternoon before the frost came. We went into last night free of frost and the coldest temperature was about an hour ago at -1C.

"We're in great shape and we're delighted with the fields and the trainers who have supported us. It should ride a bit dead and tacky but we won't worry about that if it means we're going ahead."

Is it so hard to change the times on the exchange or is their some ridiculous legal reason they can't.

just copying what the BHA has said on twitter tbh sparrow...

does sound a bit wacky tbh.

couldn't make it up - Southwell has agreed to wait for Newc to finish - unbelievable

What a joke when they can show the other stuff later on tape.

i mean it's no surprise tbh...

BHA couldn't organise a pi$$ up at Breakfast for the Stars ffs.

Have to make sure that we can see the Frech meeting at the correct time.

no sweat both due off at 1.20 so be at least 6/7 mins between them and both off late obviously , be more worried/chance of southwell 2.20 clashing with n,castle,s 2.30

not a problem surely. Southwell they will not be at the post until 3 or 4 mins after off time. Low sun to be considered. 5 mins there. Then a couple of false starts. "taking a turn" x 3. Be ready to go about 1.30pm I guess.

French even

sorry 1st Time. We had the same cynical thought but I didn't see yours

if only it were cynical,more like explaining what will actualy happen

-------------

I have made this point, before - on similar 'Changed Race time' Threads.

BETFAIR AUSTRALIA .... DO Change their Race Times - to the NW Time - when a meeting is Delayed due to Sudden Rainstorm, or Lack of Ambulance etc.

If Betfair AUSTRALIA can do it - then why cannot the (Original) Betfair 'Home' Team manage the same.

Looks like Lazyness is the Answer.

*  ^  -  'to the NEW Time'

13 fences over 2 miles ,
is that a record ?,
sun out at exeter,fak,hex,aintree  etc you might get away with jumping 5 or 6

With all the time changes, will any kind forumite please point me in the direction of a bookmaker accepting bets on the replays. Thanks in advance.

surely u should be asking that on the after timers thread?

Is there such a thing as after time? I thought that once time runs out there's nothing. Possibly should be on the philosophy forum instead of here.

2 meetings in Britain today and one goes off 20 seconds after the other finishes..You lot couldnt organise a pi$$ up in a brewery.

i was using slicer logic; if they are posting after the event then it must be assumed they are betting after also

q.e.d

I'm flattered & delighted Elise that you are a follower of the logic that I inherited from my ancestor, a lesser known Roman philosopher Slicerius. It shows that my time on this forum, although increasingly decreasing, has not been wasted.

love the increasingly decreasing, you're wasted (in an alcoholic way obv)

The problem is they play around with the off times even after meeting has started. Other countries specify race number which would make it easier for betting purposes.

Well, I did get stopped by the Met once. The roadside test did find a small amount of blood in my alcohol.

had you cut your lip on the bottle?

No . I was reading the message in the bottle when I was stopped by the police.
