Ascot Wednesday Going

[% MAN]

Good

Straight course: Stands’ side 9.4, Centre 9.3, Far Side 9.6

Round Course: 9.4

There is a drying wind.

Chris Stickels is suggesting going could be Good, Good to Firm in places, possibly even before racing begins.

Yes, looks like it will be starting Good/Good to firm. Anyone wanting even the minimum amount of give in the ground is going to be disappointed!

[Gingertipster]

Which way is the drying wind Paul?

Is it a tail wind?
Makes a difference, because prominent runners have an advantage in a tailwind, the opposite in a headwind.

Thanks

It is brisk and more or less from behind in the straight.

If you face down the home straight and imagine you are in the middle of a clock face looking towards 12:00 the wind is from just before 25 past.

Not scientific but I don’t have a compass with me

[Gingertipster]

Perfect explanation Paul, who needs a compass eh?!

Cheers

[Irish Stamp]

Based on yesterdays racing the times suggest the going is "good to firm" – with no rain overnight I’d expect it to ride on the fast side of that

[% MAN]

Going now officially
