Weather Around Chepstow Area

Don't  know about Chepstow  but Darlo  has a large covering
Not taking the car roads look  very bad so I am doing  my impression of Scott  of the Arctic  just looking for my ski's due to the really  bad weather  I have formed  a spread  on how many customers  we get 14 to 16 and I would be a seller  so off to it .
Stay safe guys and gals
⛄️

Any info on Naas?

Last place.
Chepstow  will look again at nine failed ist inspection.
Naast ON.
Have a good day.
It's that bad up here the huskies have said no chance.
Ronnie.

Raining all night. Naas might be a mudbath.

Morning Ronnie
I thought the Chepstow comments were quite positive...
All frost out of the ground
Plus 3 at 9am,rising quickly during the morning
Inspection at 9am to see if all snow/slush gone

If there were still "meeting to go ahead" markets, I'd be a backer

Let's hope so after yesterday

Plumpton on

Chepstow on

Think I have done my cash open the door 3 customers waiting.
Ronnie

Chepstow  On

Good news
Probably a few non runners but still

Naas on but situation been monitored

Getting the horses to the tracks might be the bigger issue

Heavy rain down here in Sussex since last night will be difficult racing at Plumpton in the heavy underfoot clay conditions

Plumpton  off

This will infuriate people.

Plumpers On!

followed by

Plumpers off!

The decision makers in this sport are absolute w*n*ers

Lashing rain on top off the all night rain

Be lucky to have any meeting on at all...

Get the impression with Naas that if it was an ordinary run of the mill card it would be off already

I’m sure plumpton didn’t do this to infuriate people they just tried to get the meeting on and as Kenneth indicated the rain just kept coming it’s just be f those things nobody died

musselburgh also tried.  trouble being by the time they called it off an awful lot of people had travelled an awfully long way to get to the track.

Chepstow inspecting again now

Ffs hulk we had people complaining yesterday sandown called of to early

They shouldn't have been definitive then when their 1st inspections passed.

They could have used words like like providing there is no further....


They are incompetent w*n*ers

Yes that’s a fair point cardinal

inspection passed 2 minutes ago

that's the problem with 'giving it every chance'.

This is one of the nice things about getting old. You can read the Chepstow clerk's comments, and you know from years of experience not to set off for that meeting under any circumstances:

"The thaw is going in the right direction," Jones said at 9.30am. "We haven't had the rain we were due this morning to wash it off but it's slushing all the way through ..."


I mean, honestly ...

Pictures look bad.

Could be a case of 'one race then abandonded'

* abandoned

Get their 50%

It looks like conditions mirroring when The Thinker won Cheltenham Gold Cup

Different era, what was acceptable no longer applies

Called off after 1st race.... Nap

Polar bears might be a problem

Safe enough to race but nobody saw what was going on.

Perfect conditions for a lone front runner to 'run away and hide'!

Saying delayed now

Called off after 2nd race, no refunds, free tickets for subsequent meetings?

Yep, called off

Collect a complimentary ticket for another meeting on the way out

Come racing!

who or why would of bothered going today...?
