Weather Watch 2024

Going Stick is 3.7 both courses supposedly. Desperate, desperate ground tomorrow. Hopefully they'll get through it OK today while they churn it up.

[Magpie]

it was just the 16/1 heavy & 7/4 as soft which was an absolute no brainer not to invest in.

All of last week I just couldn’t fathom how on earth good to soft was sitting at 1/2, 8/15……unfathomable I thought.

I’ve never looked at this market (nor bet it in my entire life), but with these odds, betting on both soft and heavy (with heavy stakes, not soft ones) I decided to ‘get in & get out’ for the first time, and hopefully the last time.

As someone commented, it’s degenerate to watch grass.

Guilty, as charged.

Clerk saying they might conclude the going is heavy in an hrs time, good start for you.

[TCH29]

He can call it what he likes but a going stick reading of 3.7 an hour ago makes it Heavy, Very Heavy.

Whilst there is a break in the rain coming soon, there is rain forecast through the afternoon and evening. It’ll be awful ground tomorrow.

The geezer was watering it last week what a plank hes got form for this aswell now

[riccirich]

There's always a bright side, races might not be as easy on the eye but the ground has been pretty much soft/heavy all season, so the form may actually hold up a lot better than if we were suddenly on good to soft and you had certain horses improving a chunk outta nowhere.

Is this factual?

[Irish Rugby]

Is this factual?

Not mentioned anywhere. Cannot believe that.

Don't think he's been watering the course mate, they couldn't even get the machinery on to cut the grass cause it was that soft.

[Ray]

I think i got it wrong or heard wrong then! But that wednesday a couple of years ago he had a mare and my pocket hasnt forgiven him

[somer1]

Weather that bad guys? Feel sorry for me. 21C full sun but in a bar to watch the racing tee hee

[fatherjohn]

soft (heavy in places) is official going for supreme

Hahahahahahaha…

Announcement before Race 2: “The going has now changed to Heavy”

[FinalFurlong91]

It's like betting on boxing and relying on the judges

You just knew they wouldn't have it as heavy even if the horses were swimming up the hill

[archie]

As I said earlier, the odds should be based on going stick readings.

[FinalFurlong91]

As I said earlier, the odds should be based on going stick readings.

And if they aren't there shouldn't even be a market to bet on it

realistically Bollinger has been robbed of winnings
