Day Three
A mild start with fairly high cloud cover. Forecast is for 'a little rain' and brighter later, with a high of 70F. The outlook is dry and warm with some sunshine. Today is Lady's Day, so hats off to them!
The going is good to firm.
36 000 people came to the races yesterday, but traders around York, despite perhaps unfounded hopes of a trading bonanaza, are talking of very low sales. Bishopthorpe was very quiet - locals away, people taking time off work, people keeping indoors for fear of crowds?
Or perhaps the whole management traffic plan is designed to get people in without actually 'touching the sides' and just spending their money on-course. The two-way blockage at the end of Main Street remains in place.
