THE RAIN IS HERE, AND IT LOOKS PRETTY GLOOMY.CANT SEE IT HAPPENING TODAY COS THERE WILL BE NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE WEATHER.

It is absolutely bucketing down in Cape Town today; really pouring...If they do race, the going will be Soft/Heavy...

mornings guys it doesnt look like racing today the rain is too heavy and what do u guys say about flamingo park that let the crazy horses loose the first time i see a c/o pa guys and play with caution xtra cash

Yep...they'll cancel for sure.Rain coming down heavily and bucketloads more on the way

Is the meeting going ahead?

Apparently, but I cant see them racing for long, pelting down.

Surely not Mark!

Amazingly, the going on the Tabgold site still says the going is "good"...

I am about 10kms from Durbanville,only really starting raining about an hour ago,small drizzle before that.It is apparently coming down much harder in the southern suburbs.

Don't see a problem racing @ this stage,unless visibility becomes a problem.A lot more rain is due later though,so we'll just have to see what happens.

I was @ Tyger Valley 2 hours ago,and that is only about 3kms from the course and it wasn't even raining there @ that stage.

Apparently Gc leaking about 2 bar a month,so maybe it actually suites them to cancel this meeting with small fields which produce less t/o

jap several times during the year their is no midweek meeting in cape town and i find this strange considering you know you going to lose meetings in winter due to weather

Very few meetings have been lost in CT this year.GC seems more resolute than ever to race.Tracks seem to be holding up well too
