The ground description in ireland has always been a farce...like wtf is YIELDING????
Show More
is it ??? that description CAN encompass , soft , very soft, heavy , good , dead ground, all rolled into one, john gosden was told before he left england that leopardstown was yielding , when he got there it was he said, heavy, everyone has a differant opionion of that description.
A going stick would be a help, but that would be expecting a lot.
Obviously it takes a lot to make an announcement about a change in the going.
Yielding is ground between good to soft and soft and is a proper description of ground.You seem to be confusing a wrong description or a guess with what you perceive as a catch all.
Just another Irish racing sham.
If the ar#e falls out of the game here, the powers that be can have no complaints.

Come to England guys,we have had Good to Firm Soft in the dip ( Carlisle) and Good to Firm Soft in the straight ( Leicester) over the last couple of years. I can only guess its due to global warming, as to what horse will go on such going only the Almighty knows.
