Well, you'd never know today is the day the weights are announced, would you?

Not a mention on the home page of the website or that of ATR or RTV. (The RTV home page is a complete dog's dinner, in my opinion.)

I used to get a wee kick out of compiling the weights for myself before the publication by using the ORs and making some educated guesses at likely adjustments for last-minute form and Irish runners. I did make some posts about same on the old forum many years ago but there didn't seem much interest in it. I continued doing it privately for some time but found it wasn't really worth the bother as the bookies either weren't offering any ante-post market or were going skinny with what they did offer.

Anyroads... it's after 12 noon on the day the weights come out and there isn't a peep anywhere about the race.

How very sad is that.
