Don’t let ITV idiots put you away.
Time of the first race below 4 mins and the fact they slowed it down mid-race tells you the going is no more than good-soft.
Value Is EverythingMarch 12, 2019 at 13:55 #1401381I agree, Gingertipster.
That’s not Soft ground with Heavy patches…not yet, anyway
March 12, 2019 at 15:02 #1401414First couple of races will be ok (it looks loose on top but probably not much worse than good to soft) but once they have opened it up any continued rain will quickly turn it more testing.
March 12, 2019 at 15:19 #1401426The Ultima was run 34s slower than standard, being the first race run on used ground after the Arkle it will be interesting to see what time they clock in the Champion as a comparison
March 13, 2019 at 18:47 #1401805Most definitely good-soft at worst on friday unless gareth decided to go back to the starting tape potato
March 13, 2019 at 19:07 #1401812From midnight tonight upto the start of racing tomorrow it will be raining almost non stop.
It’s either soft or heavy on friday。
March 13, 2019 at 19:11 #1401814Ground deader today. There is some more rain due over the next few days.
Have we any comparison between this year and last years ground?? I have a few bob on Might Bite at 20s but cant see him reversing on native river unless the ground is a lot better.

March 13, 2019 at 20:38 #1401831The rain tomorrow is negligible, isnt much falling, ground was basically good to soft today harry not anywhere near the ground last year, not even close…

March 14, 2019 at 08:40 #14018872mm overnight potato, bright and breezy all day and a little rain tomorrow, good to soft for the gc is almost certain
March 14, 2019 at 08:49 #1401888it’s absolutely boshing it down in the shires as we speak.
Very testing 2 days racing coming up on the newcourde.
Will be raining for at least 3 to 4 hours heavily looking at sky
March 14, 2019 at 09:17 #1401892This rain today is actually heavier than what fell on Tuesday.
I’m looking out the window not on some dodge pot website or app.
March 14, 2019 at 09:26 #1401893Im standing at the course potato LOL
March 14, 2019 at 09:39 #1401896and as on Tuesday it hit my shire first and then around 30min later it hit cheltenham.
Looking at the sky it’s the same again. Battering it down live on ITV from track before the opening show has ended.

Enjoy outside whilst you can ham, things are about to get very wet for you.
March 14, 2019 at 10:12 #1401903The more the better for NATIVE RIVER !
March 14, 2019 at 10:14 #1401904Ham has just been spotted on course with a towel desperately trying to dry it out.
