Yes, I can believe it. It's the new standard... Like Tom Jones said... It's not Unusual

 

Racing is so erratic... The same horses battle to win in the replays...

In the good old days ,I remember the going was either good, slightly yielding, yielding and heavy .I remember that racing used to take place in heavy going unless the visibility conditions prevented the meeting from going forward. There were the exceptions where racing was washed out or prevented from proceeding due to lightning storms.
Nowadays I note that the going is good ,soft or cancelled .
I take it times have changed no longer racing in heavy or yielding conditions.
Please can someone explain ,as I see overseas, sometimes the weather is so bad that the commentator can only see the horses in the final furlong but they race .I also noted that their all weather surface can handle snow ,heavy rain etc.
I take it our track conditions are not globally aligned?

 

There is a good interview between Striker and Easy on this very subject 👌 
it's on Facebook? 

Elmo, when I asked questions about the weather and tracks I was reminded it rains heavier and is sunnier in South Africa than in the UK 😬

They forget it rains for 9 months solid and is 30c+ for the other 3 months 😂
