Curragh officials adopt cautious watering policy

WATERING continued at the Curragh yesterday ahead of this weekend’s two-day Guineas meeting to maintain the ground at good to firm.

However, officials at the County Kildare track are keeping a close eye on the weather forecast which suggests some rain is likely before the end of the week.

“We’re having another dry day so we’re watering just to maintain good to firm ground and keeping an eye on the forecast for the remainder of the week,” racecourse manager Paul Hensey told At The Races.
