What are the chances Ascot will get called off this Saturday?

I am crossing everything that it goes ahead!

    It's Irish day. They could cancel the races and just open the bar and there will still be 2000 paddys show up. But from what I can see it's more to the northeast and later in the afternoon they are expecting the 50mm???

    The weatherman has the best job around...can be wrong over and over again but gets to keep his job...might be alright yet.

    spot on, obey.
    my dad had a barometer which he tapped every morning and it was spot on...even predicted the meckering earthquake by "saying" turbulent weather ahead....100 degree temps plus storms...spot on. and this was in an October I think.
    I've got the barometer but never tap it....cos its in a wardrobe..must get it out...

    I would be extremely surprised if they race on Saturday. Perth will get some rain Friday night, then it will increase on Saturday. Could be 50mm or more all up.

    If it's Irish Day, the Club should stock up on the grog, open up the gates free, and let them go for it, punting on the ES and pi**ing it up

    I was in denial (never rains in Perth), but it's now forecast to still be a Cat 2 by the time it reaches Geraldton !

    Lets hope the powers at Perth Racing have the foresight and or nuts to make an early call as late as this evening to postpone this meeting till sunday , push Mt Barker to Wednesday and push the Wednesday & thursday meetings a day later . Painfully obvious the horses wont be getting on the floats tomorrow.

    Yep, it's only the Mt Barker cup day down there, and it all revolves around Perth..... Can't see a problem with both on Sunday though.......

    beat me too it..the Cup day at barker will be hard to move to a midweek.. And if there is that much rain on Saturday, it will flow into Sunday as these lows rarely move through in a big hurry.

    I reckon they will be hoping for a late Saturday storm and to get through the majority of the card with heavy track conditions.. maybe bring the card forward to a 10.30am start time...And hope to get it finished before the storm takes over..

    As with all these things the decision should be made by 9am tomorrow morning. By then they should have the speed and direction of the storm well and truly worked out, so the accuracy should be pretty good. And 2-3hrs before being on course for he first race should be fair for most of the first race runners and all of the rest of the cards runners.

    I just hope at9am, they don't say we'll update you at 10.....
