Watering Continues On Natwest Rowley Mile

Published at

The going on the NatWest Rowley Mile ahead of the Stan James Guineas Festival this weekend (May 5 & 6) remains Good-to-Firm (watering) following the application of 10 millimetres of water over the previous 36 hours.

Michael Prosser, Director of Racing for Newmarket Racecourses, said:

'The watering on Monday and this morning has maintained the status quo but, given the wind and high temperatures that are forecast for the remainder of this week, we have now decided to water again tomorrow and on Friday so that we can achieve our aim of starting the meeting on Saturday just on the good side of Good-to-Firm.

'Six millimetres will be applied tomorrow and a decision on Friday's volume will be taken nearer the time.'
