There is an inspection taking place

due to a heavy down poor.

No words!

bloke in the middle going around with his mobile phone asking people's opinion...

strange.

i think their big meeting is coming up soon...

save the ground for that ?

It is the crossings that are the concern Hibby

They would be in running  now if this was in Ireland.

FFS put some more sand on.

checking the muddy path to see if its too slippy

the crossings for the ambulance are of no concern to the nags so why are the jokeys down there?

still think they'll be happy to save the ground getting chewed up for their big meeting irons...

not that they would ever say that of course.

wouldn't be the first time a lesser meeting has been sacrificed for a big meeting...

definitely remember it at Musselburgh one winter.

Pathetic.

oh joy...

we get a Dan thingy doing a suck up interview with the Champion Jockey...

with an ex-Champ looking on...

wonderful.

Any of you older guys remember a horse called Riki Tiki Tavi from the past? Just noticed one called that in the next at Ayr, am I remembering correctly?

Delay it for 2 hours - plenty of daylight left!

Delayed Road crossing's on course.....due to heavy downpour

Standby ......

it was a slight spelling diff, tikki

On..... 25 mins delayed from off times

wasn't it owned by that  bloke who ended up in prison in the USA for murder Cag? Ravi Tikoo? haven't googled

will Ayr delay now ?

racing on racing on

don't recall just know tikki was the correct spelling from kipling

Not sure DP, just rings a bell but you could be right.

At the post and We are Off and running....

good going

looks unraceable

The Champion Jockey says the ground is just on the Soft side of Good...

aye ok then.

Spread Distance Buyers in for a good day i'd suggest.

Distance sellers down the plughole!

Ravi Tikoo was yellow, red diamond, black sleeves and black or red cap I think. Used to have a lot of horses. Shipping millionaire I think.  But not sure now if he was the geezer on death row in USA. Got released about 3 or 4 years back after an appeal.
