He who dares, Rodders. I'll go down anyway to see what's happening. Even just to find out if it's rained off.

IT looks wet outside, but is it actually raining?

"IT looks wet outside, but is it actually raining?"
The two are not incompatible...
Given that forecast is for large amounts in small places, think we have to wait for the Meadowbank Weather Report.

I can (almost) see the sun.

Raining again (slightly)

Does anyone know what level of damp (if any) is allowed for racing at Meadowbank?
Posted 12 years ago # -
I was just wondering that too. Presumably it would be pretty dangerous to race on a wet track, particularly given the lack of any brakes?

Don't think it's lack of brakes so much as general adhesion on a sloping surface.
Found this -
"If it rains it is delayed till it dries then they rattle through the schedule."

yes it's a wooden banking, not safe in the wet. Lack of brakes - counter intuitively perhaps - makes it safer

"
It's cancelled. We got rained off at about 1 yesterday. Another washout at Meadowbank."
