All this watering sounds a bit dangerous?

Question

All this watering sounds a bit dangerous? What happens if the clerk of the course at Cheltenham gets it wrong and they water too much? Could ruin the whole meeting.

Answer 1

Clerk of the course Simon Claisse has a pretty good record of getting it right and he says that there is no appreciable rain forecast before the Festival. It would be far worse if he did nothing and we ended up with a  fast-ground meeting.
