Just the two flat meetings lost today……

[Glenn]

…..due to overzealous watering then?

Is it gonna reach a tipping point where they’re losing more in lost meetings than they’re gaining in form not working out?

It really is beyond belief – a superb advert for British racing.

From the RP:

Sandown director of racing Andrew Cooper said that watering was not the cause of the problem as they had finished irrigating the track the previous day.
…“I’m surprised at the turn of events. The home bend at Sandown is a tight bend and we take a lot of care about how we prepare it. I should think it would prove to be a combination of factors – mainly climatic.

This man is an imbecile.

So they’ve been watering the track in the last 24 hours? Clearly, not conceivably a contibutory factor then.

Climatic? Has our climate only just become a temperate maritime one in the last 24 hours?

You really shouldn’t say that out loud Simon!

[Alderbrook]

The advantage of polytrack is if the surface is unraceable you can run the races through the grandstands due to the lack of racegoers…
