SUMMARY

HV by Race Time. SHV from SGS by Noon after 9mm of Rain by then and still raining.. SGS as on Decs. But Reported as starting 09:30am and forecast to continue to 13:00pm. 2mm of Rain on Sun. GStick 06:30am as 6.8. 5.8 by Noon.

15DegC. Stiff to Medium Southerly WInd = 3/4 Headwind from Right Uphill, 1/4 Headwind from Right HS.

Rail dolled out by 10yds from-3f to HS. Earlier fields had raced Centre track overall then Stds Sd in HS with both 2yo race winners cutting corner to HS the most. This looked stronger pace than Nursery 1.5 Hrs earlier and field raced more Cent-Outer Rail. Bow Creek racing too free in lead. Lady Heidi an ok Sz in Grp and dropped back is stages as BCreek pressed on, LH ok break Wdst then H-1. Briefly went Cent Track alone but came back as BCreek racing nearer rail. in LastOPr+2f but then as BC still pressing on steepest uphill section dropped back to Clear last by Hf.

Whole Field cut corner much more than previous races. This time 1.2secs quicker than earlier Nurs but winner carrying 3lbs less.

Feedback from 1-2 days after Meeting = Hanagan interviewed at YARM on Tue asked about how Soft ground was riding said it was ok and the horses were getting through. Then unprompted added that is was nothing like as bad as PFCT the previous day. This bit from Mark Tompkins Website on Tue = "We only ran Astrowolf yesterday at Pontefract, as the ground turned to heavy. In fact it was nearly un-raceable and consequently, I took Barwick out of the last. Joe Fanning told us it was far worse than Catterick on Saturday and that really, they shouldn’t have been racing. ".
