Well, at least the horses will be happy with the sting out of the ground. Nice rain this.

Pouring? A light drizzle. Without rain for six months the going will still be goodish.

The light drizzle brought us just over 50mm overnight. I am 7km from the course.

Gee thanks, didn’t realize it was that much but fantastic. Weather report says it will stop now. It will be lovely for the horses. If it wasn’t for the rugby I would go to the track.

Yip if it stays soft, it really complicates things - very few of the younger horses have run in soft conditions - so anything possible - as for the older horses, both Infamous Fox and Divine Odyssey (my Summer Cup horse) love it soft as well
