Weather once more plays havoc with plans

I am sounding a bit like a broken record talking about the weather and ground here almost on a weekly basis, but readers will understand what a huge bearing it has on what we do.

I have had very few runners during the week and will only have two over the weekend.

I had been planning to send quite a strong team of six to Down Royal last night but had to withdraw all bar two of them because of the heavy rain. Only Somethingdifferent and Alipine Eagle stood their ground, with Greenbelt Star, Clouded Thoughts, Parramatta and Scholars Princess all having to miss out. On the other side of things, Backbench Blues certainly wouldn’t have had any problem with the conditions at Limerick.
