The difference last week was that there was a build up of cold frosty nights from Monday night onwards. One cold night tonight should be ok as long as there is no fog in morning

GOWRAN, free of frost since the bout that caused the abandonment of the Connolly's Red Mill Thyestes Chase card last Saturday, has been part covered in a bid to ensure the meeting goes ahead on Friday.
The track is trialling covers imported from the United States that are made to protect horticulture and has deployed them on its highest and most vulnerable areas, covering almost an acre of the course. All fences, take off and landing sides are also protected. Racecourse manager Margaret Fogarty said on Thursday: "The covers are on top of good ground because we have had no frost this week and are only down as a precaution. "We are soft, soft to heavy in places and I'm quite hopeful there will be no further problems." A minor frost is expected on Thursday night, with temperatures dropping to -2C |
