Hastings update.
This morning I had the opportunity to call into the Hastings racecourse, peep over the running rail and see what’s happening.
Guess what Leggy and Chiksnsmack it’s exactly as I explained and expected.
Just because (as always Leggy) wants to read more into it, or change what the writer has written doesn’t make him right!
Once again the truth is that it’s a renovation of the Hastings track , not a rebuild!
Anyway, from what I could see the grass has been cut right back (hence it browned off) debris was removed, divots filled, fertiliser applied, under sewed and is now in the process of being irrigated for maximum grass growth in time for the HB Cup meeting.
Interestingly, the irrigation was of a moveable variety and was placed in the very centre of the track for the full circumference of the track so that both sides of the course got equal watering, subject of course to the wind.
