The perennial wisdom is that Irish horses want soft/heavy, and ours want quicker.
If we wanted to create home advantage (as they do in many other sports) then keep the hose coiled up. |

Pathetic. Wokery and nothing else. The perception is that good ground means races run at a faster pace and hence more or more serious falls. Apart from being nonsense it is equivalent to the racecourse authorities giving a 5 length start to some of the runners.

They haven’t watered overnight, but did the previous two days (from the BHA site):
WATERING HISTORY: On Wed, 11 Mar 6:19am the watering status was No Watering - No watering overnight On Tue, 10 Mar 6:43am the watering status was Watered - 3-5mm selectively applied yesterday. On Mon, 09 Mar 6:39am the watering status was Watering (In Progress) - Selective watering today to maintain, and improve Good areas (4-5mm) |

How he can call it good to soft today, when it was good ground yesterday, is a mystery.

He can call it what he wants but the ground is Good and likely to get quicker

Yet another fictitious conspiracy thread. Full of lies and warped logic.
