Irish Going?

What is Yielding equivalent to?

[mathare]

I think it is wetter than soft but not as sticky as heavy.

I have seen goings of Good (Good to Yielding in places) and Soft to Yielding (Soft to Heavy in places) on Irish racing websites I have just been browsing. That's what made me draw the conclusion I have

Cheers Mat, sooner we have a nice 10point scale the better! :)

That can be judged using a stick in the ground or something - I agree.

One clerk of the course can declare the going soft while another would call the same ground good to soft or even good (soft in places). It's too variable really.

There might be a way of doing it by measureing ground resistance between two points with different power level samples. Like what they sometimes do in the geophysics of archeology. Sparky?

Or you could just drop a heavy rod from a set height into the ground. Low-tech rules OK! :laugh

We will both get taken to court for crulity to worms!! :doh

Not again! :yikes:

I'm with OFF, water content is not the only factor in determining resistance. MM

You could end up with a different going every 5 metres! :doh

I thought this thread refered to London Oirish leaving the Majedski stadium.

I thought it was soft, Susan should be able to clarify or one of our Irish friends -

[eastyorkshireracing]

To be sure it would be going that is heavier than good, but soft enough not to call it good to soft if the definition of heavy is softer than good to soft on softer going than soft, be jabers :laugh

Clear as mud it is!
