But they will water again this evening and tomorrow morning.

I don't think we were wrong about the going. They've been doing their damnedest to do as we've been saying but the combination of warmer temperatures and the breeze - the type of conditions that would have a clothes line of unspun terry nappies drying in an hour out the back garden - have been hampering progress.

But I accept too that they are doing the right thing in watering. I think the good-ground horses for tomorrow have now indeed got lucky. I imagine Hendo must be ruing not having a proper good-ground plot in the race this year. He's had a few down the line who have had their chances watered away.
