GOODWOOD GOING NOW GOOD @Goodwood_Races



The going is now

Good

after seven millimetres of rain last night.

It was Good, Good to Firm in places yesterday.

It is forecast to be a lovely day today, with temperatures reaching 24 degrees Celsius

Clerk of the course Seamus Buckley said: "I have changed the going description to Good after seven millimetres of rain last night up to 11pm. It has been dry since.

"If the rain had not come, the going would have been good to firm so it was welcome.

"It is forecast be a dry, warm and breezy day, with temperatures reaching between 23 and 24 degrees Celsius, so the ground will dry out a bit.

"The course has stood up well to the first four days of Glorious Goodwood and we are looking forward to terrific racing today."

The GoingStick reading at 9.30am was 7.6.

The GoingStick reading at 9.15am yesterday was 8.0. At 9.30am on Thursday it came to 7.5, with other readings having been 7.2 at 9am on Wednesday, 6.8 at 12.30pm on Tuesday, 7.6 at 10am on Tuesday, 7.9 at 3pm on Monday, 8.0 on Sunday and 8.7 on Saturday.

The top bend, which had been dolled out by three yards, had the temporary rail removed last night and there is now fresh ground on the inside for two furlongs, specially for the Group One Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes.
