All My Loving should love the state of the turf (if they actually race on it) but she has had a very hard season. She only ran five or six days ago, and that was an average listed race.

She got soft ground at Ascot and was beaten by Brisk Breeze. I'm stunned that she has even gone there. Would love for her to win, but thruth is that she's only a maiden winner. I would be shocked if she could win.

You have shut your mouth completely for the last two weeks and you just have to ruin it a day before the race

You're so right.

Firm course of soft course, your boy is still a rock-solid single in the 4th spot on all superfecta tickets.

Pretty depressing looking at how sunny and dry it's going to be Sunday on.

Really does put a damper on the day.

It really sucks! Could be the worst B.C. all time, it's too bad...won't get to see the true champions on a fair surface.

It would be brilliant to hear Scavs use grand in a sentence.

I know it will come as a shock, but it is raining here (hotel 13 miles from MTH).

I once saw Scav use the phrase, "For all intensive purposes."

Probably the phrase that is screwed up the most in the US.

Still raining here.

Are you at Monmouth?

TheSpyder 10-27-2007 06:53 AM

Don't know about him but just called up the radar...looks pretty ugly.

13 miles from MTH in a Holiday Inn wondering how the turf is holding up and if my shoes have dried from yesterday yet.

Shame. My only hope now is that the turf drains very quickly. I know they said the drainage is very good, but is it good enough to take away what could be 3-4 inches in less than 24 hours.

Even though most of our horses (apart from Dylan) won't mind it, it doesn't make for good viewing.

How bad does it have to get before they take the racing off the turf? Is it close to getting that bad?

Okay, thanks.

Try and stay as dry as you can if you're heading to the track today. Nothing worse than going racing when it does nothing but rain.

jock who rode nownownow yesterday said that the turf wasn't bad at all.

Winning jocks will always say the ground is good.

Even the euro jocks said it was riding soft, which says quite a bit in my opinion. On our racing channel this morning, they spoke to Adrian Beaumont (from the IRB). He was at the track and he said there was standing water on the turf track after racing had finished yesterday, it had rained most of the night and was still raining there this morning.
