In my last blog I refered to how quickly ground conditions can change at this time of year, well due to the current spell of wet weather I am hoping for just that to happen now!

It has rained on and off over the past four days with a total  of  40mm being recorded at 8am Wednesday morning. This week-ends Easter festival of racing at Plumpton has two meetings scheduled and with the going heavy at present we certainly could do with a couple of dry days prior to Sunday.

The course has been prepared to handle two days racing with rail and hurdle placements back in towards early season lines on ground that recently has had a rest. So far this spring grass recovery has not been great but considering the amount of racing Plumpton has put on through the winter months I believe us to be in “pretty good nick”.
