Limerick yesterday (27.12.2015)

I didn’t believe that I would ever have to rate a meeting, where the going allowance ended up beating the -2.75s/f I had one day on the hurdles course at Ffos Las.

Assessing the going allowance at Limerick yesterday, as the meeting progressed the going deteriorated to such an extent, I ended up with 4 going allowances, recording a personnel best towards the end of the meeting at -2.85s/f.

Race 1 = -1.52s/f
Race 2 & 3 = -2.02s/f
Race 4,5 & 6 = -2.26s/f
Race 6 & 7 = -2.85s/f

Looking at the figures, I asked myself, was it worth it.

You know when things get bad, ref the RP going allowance at Limerick yesterday (28th Dec).

Dave Edwards “Top Speed” had the going allowance at -3.00s/f (deep), which is new RP record.

As he said in an email to me this morning, I never normally go beyond -2.50s/f, yesterdays going was insane…

The good news is, the going will only be recorded as Heavy!!!

Mike.
