  • XC must be touch and go you'd think. Heavy ground seems inevitable now, hopefully not the end of the World today but could mean tacky ground later in the week

      Oh ffs! On a 'brighter' note, what would happen to my ante post Conflated bets?

      • Looks like today's rain will pass through by around 11am and there's only a couple of light showers forecast for the rest of the week, so although the first couple of days will be testing, it hopefully won't be a quagmire all week.

          In the bin still I think because he wasn't declared, any that made declarations would be void rather than lost if it's abandoned. Think that's right anyway.

              I know was only joking. I see they would likely move the race to the Friday anyway.

                • At least we'll see the Cross Country whatever day it's on.

                  Not much rain this last 3-4 days but due to what it's had over the winter, it didn't need much to turn it.

                          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.
