Doncaster watering before St Leger meeting

The ground for the opening day of Doncaster's St Leger meeting on Wednesday is expected to be good to firm with the course executive watering to maintain conditions.

Town Moor was bathed in sunshine when clerk of the course David Williams was walking the course this afternoon and the prospects are for further dry weather.

Williams said: "We are currently good to firm and we will put some water on little and often.

"It is looking dry well into next week and the way this place dries out we would like the ground to be on the easier side of good to firm and the quicker side of good."
