The course was good to firm, good in places when clerk of the course Chris Stickels assessed conditions on Thursday morning, but the track has since been hit by around 4mm of rain alongside 10mm of irrigation from the grounds team.
Stickels said: “There will be an update in the morning as we’ve had just under 4mm of rain today and we watered the straight course with 10mm, so I’d imagine there will be a slight ease in the description tomorrow morning.”
“We may not have to irrigate any more, but we’ll have to play it by ear. The forecast looks to settle down from today, so we don’t anticipate any downpours at the moment.”
Waste of time having top notch drainage, really … 🤔

Doing this all through the season and then they wonder why Champions Day ends up most years having a discussion as to whether to move races onto the NH course due to borderline heavy ground.
A NH course by they way that…..gasp doesn’t get watered at all through the summer and is left to mother nature to deal with it.
