I think it is a very brave but right decision. To put it into prespective a race course recentlt watered for a week before their metting and applied 500,000 gallons of water just to make the groud safe to race. We must remember the area has been faced with extreme weather conditions, with no significant rainfull since march. I refer to the comments from warren that the most affluent jump track in U.K still have ground like the M4. I feel great sympathy for the C.L and C commitee as they have lost 4 p to p in the last 6 years yet they have perservered in order to run when the majority of us would have given up and gone to the pub!!!!
This an amatuer sport of which money is not readly avaiable and most p to p have to operate on a shoe string. Those of you who wish to run on perfect, watered manicured tracks should apply to the jockey club for your permit and run your horses under rules or do as I have and give your horse a pat, turn him out in the field and tell him there is always next year? Remember we do this for fun.
