BEST of the BETS

Mostly dry tomorrow, but rain and wind forecast for Tuesday.

Irish horses then ?

I think it will be genuinely soft for Tuesday and then drying out through the week. Cant remember it starting on soft for a while so those races might not go to the usual types.

It started on heavy last year, I doubt it will be that bad this time. Whenever it has been soft or heavy going, first two in betting have done much better than when on quicker going.

I stand corrected it was SOFT, heavy in places last year on Tuesday.

I think strong winds forecast, especially for Wednesday, could be more of a problem than the going. It can’t be fun running around in those conditions but it’s same for everyone.

Might be more of a worry for the tents, remember we lost a day a few years back then had that mental 14 race day.

Yes, had forgotten all about that. 2008 it was, report says winds of 50 mph that time, forecast doesn’t seem that bad this time so hopefully it will be ok.
