Bets kept to an absolute minimum for the fun. And field sizes don't help.

They must have watered, the 2. Whatever mil of rain they said that they had wouldn’t have had that impact on the going.
It rained here the first time in two months and it bounced off of the ground! Laugh

unless you think everyone who timed the race officially or unofficially are in ome great conpiracy and lying ,its not even a debate,the time was just above standard, you dont run near standard time  on soft ground,if you did there,d be no such thing as STANDARD TIME,they,d be worthless

lord derby RTV

3 mm put on last thurs,when it was 34 degrees
2mm put on lat fri when it wa 29 degrees

basically 5mm which will have evaporated in hr on the firm ground underneath
so basically no watering since last wed and 5 days before any measurable rain on the monday, probably explains why times were nearly standard yeterday,despite JOHNNY G and X BEDWETTING 24/7

John was correct. He didn't like the ground. But could have put it better..like this

"His first encounter with ground softer than good since finishing second to Almaqam on his 2025 return; firmer ground would appear to suit him better and he'll continue to take all the beating when encountering such conditions."

The going report from yesterday.


Going: GOOD (Good to soft in places; watered; Far Side 6.1, Centre 6.3, Stands' Side 6.1)

That’s BS!

Rossa said quickest down the centre, some dodgy rides given and you wonder why they paint scraped?
