Sports news enthusiasts are in for a treat this Derby day. The going on the track remains shrouded in mystery, with inconsistencies that add to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the event.
Good to Firm or Not?
Clerk of the course Andrew Cooper’s walk-through at 6am left many wondering what is really happening on the track. “There are bits of it probably on either side of that description,” he said, referring to its classification as good to firm. Nevertheless, according to him, there hasn’t been much difference between today’s GoingStick reading (7.2) and yesterday’s (7.3).
Adding further intrigue is last night’s irrigation work done by Craig Williamson and his team finishing around one in the morning – which only deepens this sense of discontinuity.
