Racing: Rain puts Salisbury’s final meeting of the season in doubt
Salisbury racecourse officials will hold a 7.15 am ‘precautionary inspection’ on Monday morning. With the ground already soft and heavy in places, Saturday’s rain and expected rain on Sunday evening and Monday morning may prove too much for the course.
The Salisbury course’s season finale on Monday (October 13) is the Bathwick Tyres Reduced Admission race day. The six races (first at 2.20pm, the last at 5.00pm) have attracted good entries.
Richard Hughes, champion flat race jockey in 2012 and 2013, will be riding the Hannon entries. This season Hughes has been in a close fight for the title with Ryan Moore.
The Salisbury card's 2.50pm race for maiden fillies includes a horse named Evening Rain – fingers crossed.
