Thumbs Up For Goodwood


This weekend's cards at Goodwood, featuring tomorrow's totesport.com Celebration Mile, have been given the go-ahead.

Thursday evening's meeting at the Sussex venue had been abandoned due to a waterlogged track, but clerk of the course Seamus Buckley delivered the pleasing news following an assessment of conditions on Friday morning.

Buckley said: "The going is soft and we are perfectly raceable. We had just two millimetres of rain since midnight and there is no more standing water on the track. The forecast is for a dry and sunny weekend so we're obviously delighted."
