The going at Royal Ascot
for the third day has changed to
GOOD TO
FIRM
from Good to Firm, Good in
places yesterday following another dry night.
Chris Stickels, Clerk of
the Course, said at 9am: "There is a chance of showers today but only a
chance. I think that it is a similar theme for tomorrow - a chance of a few
showers.
"On Saturday, the
likelihood grows again of rain but I think that the forecast has been so
volatile that we cannot really be sure.
"There is a chance we
might water tonight. If it does stay dry today and if there is only a risk of
small scattered showers tomorrow, then we will probably put a bit of water on
after racing."
