hesi Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Just looking at the forecast, looks like the rain will hold off enough to leave them with a dead track, which would be great to see the first G1 of the season run on reasonable footing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm picking a Slow 7. Edited August 29, 2018 by pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still looks like a significant band of rain heading south today but I'll bow to your knowledge unless you're wrong in which case you might get a small serve for being a weather know it all ? What's far more concerning to me is the fact that the three Trackside presenters have apparently shaved their heads for Daffodil Day. Are they trying to lose what remaining audience they have?? Bevan Sweeney with a shaven head is the stuff of horror movies. Edited August 29, 2018 by pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hesi Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hahaha, excuse the pun, but did you think I came down in the last shower. I see on the TAB home page, they have the Tarrzino featured, but when you click on it, it brings up last years race. I can't even put a bet on, a grand on Close Up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually bring out sun umbrella to place over outdoor table, but i have postponed date and will keep gumboots handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
