SUMMARY

Rain during day. Rail in on Far Side until 2f out cutaway. But fields raced centre to Stands' Side as is traditional on softer going (high side of the slope, partly tree covered and less chewed up). Hints of Stands Rail being an advantage in the 3 x 2yo races.
Race meeting started with Clerk Of Course having going set at GSG. This was changed to Soft after Race 2 (this race 4 & no rain in between). Clerk said the change with input from the jockeys. As at Newbury the previous weekend the times are not Soft Ground ones and, again, the subjective evidence of the jockeys of how the ground is riding comes out softer than other methods would suggest.
This Nursery race did not appear to have a strong pace and the winner got loose on the rail with an effort in later race. Time for race only 0.16s slower than the following Listed event for 2yos with only 1lbs difference in weights carried.
Times for 8f at the track since 2003 range from 100.17s (1.8s faster then the next best) to 110.07s. The time for this race simply not possible on 'Soft' going.
