That was my simplistic view. Quote

If not, any surplus will infiltrate the course proper from the swales won't it? Quote

Tracks have been excellent since the Oct. 3rd meeting. Quote

Tracks have been excellent since the Oct. 3rd meeting. Yes an excellent track presented last Saturday and that involved some skillful management of irrigation options. Today's track a different story with the Big Boy upstairs playing a bigger hand. Nearly two inches on rain on Monday set the scene. Of course a Strathayr wouldn't have been affected as much and would recover quicker.
