for a week.

I was walking up there last week, watering going on non-stop, lush grass covering.

How did these tracks operate before watering systems?

The going might be quick but the grass is long, who is calling the shots?

Ayr Flat next Sunday already called off - waterlogged.

Sunny forecast all week.

The courses' insurance payouts are too high clearly.

swiftnifty...you may be interested to know that tracks gnerally only insure against losing a meeting for their bugest days. A clerk of the course told me this after Covid.

Apparently, the premiums are too high for run-of-the-mill days, so they take it on the chin.

OK, still seems a crazy early call.

I like what you did there with 'bugest' days...after Covid !

Epsom moved to Tuesday afternoon, extra meeting at Bath Wednesday evening ... I think we can assume that Brighton will be abandoning their scheduled meetings on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday evening.

Mr.C. The Epsom meeting on Tuesday 28th is a Plumpton reciprocal in case you weren't aware.
