Aintree Commences Watering Andrew Tulloch, Clerk of the Course at Aintree, reported today that watering has commenced on the course, which is in good order ahead of next week's racing.Tulloch revealed: 'We looked at the long-range forecast last week, which showed that there was no rain forecast. A dry week is expected with some sunshine and daytime temperatures between 13 and 16 degrees Celsius.'With the ground drying out, we started watering over the weekend and will continue to do so right the way through, if necessary. Aintree's policy is to try and provide ground no faster than good. We want to go into the meeting on the best ground possible.'We have an excellent grass covering and with the warmer weather, the grass should continue to grow well.'
