Nice drop of rain here in Chester if you are looking at the card, Sft will be in the going ...

Thanks mate,might be worth changing your forum name to Chestercalling.

... Yes, I worked in Glasgow for 10 yrs.

Thanks conversely Sandown missed the torrential downpour forecast as it ended up further East, just some light rain for an hour around 8PM. Doubt it will have affected the going.

Just 42 non-runners so far today.

Do we need 7 meetings in England on a Saturday?

Shocking number of n/r's at Sandown, over 50% of the total, a lot must have declared expecting the long predicted deluge that never hit!

Stalls 10,11,12,13 withdrawn from the 2.10 Chester,disrgaceful.

Bright start to the Day here in Chester, overnight rain has turned the going gd/sft  sft in places

which sounds about right, will the rain stay away allday ?? Lucky racegoers so far.

Agree, but thats the rules, they seem to be able to do what they like.!!

Should fine them heavily for taking the P……

I may email the course asking them to erect a sign informing racegoers not to expect to see any runners from double figure stalls.

Lol

4 trainers sat there thinking if only we'd left ours in we'd be drawn 9.
advantage not so great the smaller the field.

They have moved the rail out 2 yards, if it gets soft the wider runners will have the better ground so a wide draw perhaps not as off-putting as some may think.
