It is hard to believe that a little over a month ago I was praying for it to stop raining, and yet here we are in the lead up to the last meeting of our season watering like mad hoping for some rain.

Over the past five weeks we have been busy not only due to there being a race meeting during that period but because the ground staff have managed to re-seed  the course, with perennial rye grass for those that are interested, and also fed it with a part organic based fertiliser to promote growth.

Unfortunately the cold north easterly wind that has blown across the course recently has been slowing the grass recovery down, but that said and helped in no small way by the irrigation system I feel sure that everyone will see and appreciate a big improvement in the course’s appearance since the 19th April.

I predict the going for this Sunday’s family fun day meeting to be Good to Firm-Watered,            unless the rain arrives in time to help us.
