I think this may be the last at Exeter...

Agree, Donegal, posted on the other thread
Being cynical,no refunds to be issued now if that's the case, but I supposed they are trying their best to get the meeting on
Must have one eye on not chewing up the ground for the Xmas and new year meetings

its heavy but raceable imo

some horses been waiting for these conditions all year been v little heavy ground this year

Reg

Generally speaking racecourses give the paying public vouchers for a future fixture if they call it of after just a few races

WonderSB I agree with you. Wasn't suggesting they should, just that they would. However, like most of my predictions on horse racing this dreadful punting year, I got that wrong too!

It will be worse next year as bookies need to get more money back now with government rules.

fair enough dp

Yes,jimnast
The rule used to be money back if no racing,or vouchers for future meetings if at least one race...the second option obviously preferable to the racecourse

Fair play to Exeter for keeping going
As wonders says...heavy but raceable

wd don & reg.

fckn clooless.

Thanks for your clever input, Rico

Pre event opinions always welcome, btw

I should no better than to reply to such a stupid post but how can the bookies control the weather abba ?

That chase looked brutal

2 finishes. That was not a good look for racing.

Charming for those who have gone high on winning distances

nope, even though I won I didn't really enjoy that

They should probably call it a day now

That should be enough really...

That was some effort from me place laying the 2 finishers

Thats good going

Is Mike Cattermole the worst commentator ever? You could see the other horse coming to the second last when he said everything else had pulled up.

Wont be much better at Ascot tomorrow. Plenty of water around. Swinley bottomless! Was at this meeting in the 90s. First race, couldnt see  a thing  because of fog. They ran the 2nd race in even worse conditions so they didnt have to make any refunds

Saying "delayed" for next race on exchange now?

Gambas...that practice by the tracks was what I was alluding to earlier

Jockeys walking the track reg

ABANDONED !

Racing abandoned.

Cheers, jimnast

It’s what they use to do running a couple of races so no refunds I don’t think that happens anymore.

Off

Finitooooo

wd don & reg.

Of course, Rico will be straight on to apologise to myself and Donegal

Cheers Rico

Ruk pundits we’ve had a great days racing ,really ?

it was until it was abandoned

🥸

2 races on that hurdle course 40s & 49s above std that's not unraceable if jockeys ride sensibly but never mind

they'll all be moaning when ground dries out

everything is wonderful in Daryl's world

I thought it was desperate wonders do agree they will all be moaning when the ground drys out.

44-48 today jim

buyers got off lightly imo
18.5 + 2 void races of 10l = 38.5 makeup...9.5x loss

agree was bad jim but we've seen a lot worse over the years & carry on
plug seems to be pulled early on anything now

They certainly did wonders thankfully I learned my lesson many years ago about beating the spreads it cost me to find out.

Will they abandon Ascot tomorrow to keep the ground for Saturday and move the G2 over? They have previous!

Trusty

Ascot wouldn’t do that unless it was completely unraceable tomorrow,corporate wise it’s a huge day with many Christmas parties.

Also good to soft good in places this morning plenty to play with there,with Friday Saturday forecast dry.

they've put the rail out for 2moro then moving to give fresh ground for sat so as it's good / gd to sft i'd be hopeful they will be ok, that said weather isn't great but fingers crossed

All true just been raining so hard and Ascot doesn't drain super fast.

Let’s hope it’s not spoilt then trusty I enjoy Ascot always interesting racing.

Ascot does drain quickly, possibly fastest of all

Pity its on the dark side
