Mud Bath

40MPH wind and rain all day.

James Owen runner in the 16.53 will love it imv

many years ago i seem to recall bath being the course with no watering system and had going such as ' hard, firm in places ' !!!....such is climate change !!!

A very breezy and drying day yesterday with highs of 15°C, 0.4mm rain overnight. A continuing drying forecast today,
remaining windy with gusts of up to 45mph. Chance of the odd fast moving shower only bringing 1mm or so. Max temps 13°C

its not raining all day

Definitely recall occasions even in recent years whereby Firm/hard going conditions have been in place.
The prize money on offer today via this premierisation project has held up the field sizes otherwise they would have been decimated.

3.0 on the going stick must be very rare for a flat meeting?

its not raining all day

Just going by the BBC weather chart 10am-4pm

"G/L 2~day" 

"if you~dig" 

Hugh Taylor:

"The going stick reading is remarkably low - I’ve seen stick readings of around 5.7 for ground officially described as heavy at Bath on more than one occasion - yet this morning the reading is 3.3, having been 3.0 yesterday."

Reminds that time of Alistair Down on the Morning Line, I think Eider Chase day, when the going stick was showing about 3.1.

Down quipped: words to the effect of: to put that into context, the going stick for the River Tyne is 2.9
