Cheltenham weather forecast

Jackanory? A bit like you're previous comments on the Cheltenham going?? Google met office weather, there you will see a bloke in specs giving a detailed forecast, the same chap is on the racing post going page where he says upto20 mm could fall by Monday night at Cheltenham, apology will be accepted after you've been on the page!!

Not convinced what happens 75 miles away is guaranteed to be replicated at HQ.
Love the fact 112 comments on the weather and only 37 on the Grant National thread...

Jackanory?? A bit like you're previous comments on the going?? Google met office weather, a chap in specs gives a detailed forecast, he's also on the racing post weather page where he quite clearly states that another 20mm could fall by Monday night, have a look and I will accept you're apology after!

You said racing post weather a few posts ago, pick one.. I sure you will search for plenty more but I will wait until Tuesday morning before I say how much rain has fallen..

I am not GOD i predicted good to soft and soft in places a few weeks back, I was wrong shoot me....

But I have not been going around saying 20mm of rain then most likely a pre inspection like some here... sounds like your be happy if the festive will be cancelled...

So how much more can the course take bearing in mind it's heavy already? Surely IF they get 20mm there's a chance,

Soft & heavy in places so I am guessing heavy... but that's IF

Anyway I did not bet on the weather so do not care what it is.... if its 5mm 10mm 100mm not much we can do about it, so pointless debating what will happen in the future..

Surely talking about horses is much more interesting...

What a ridiculous comment! Why would I want the festival cancelled? Obviously your feelings foolish as you said that there was no chance at all of soft ground! The facts are that 20mm could fall on already heavy ground

You have made 25 post and mostly talking about the weather and I am the foolish one... grow up

If you do not want to talk about horses pop over to BF forum, they will entertain you

Misty. OK, you were right.

Now let's get back to talking horses
 
Quote from one of the RamP articles today -

Claisse added: "The heaviest ground is behind the two-mile starts, and so only affects races over two-and-a-half and four miles, but where we have the intersections of the Old and New courses - in front of the stands, at the end of the back straight, and at the bottom of the hill as they turn for home - those areas are heavy too."

I apologise if this has already been mentioned. I also take note of the previous comments on RP making the ground sound softer than it potentially actually is
 
I'm taking the dog for a walk round the course in a bit. I'l nip on and provide a real time ground/weather update

This is a marvellous site mate, so welcoming and informative. It's all about the horses not about the usernames, just relax and enjoy it. It's everything the BF forum isn't.
