Turn off the taps!

Sir, - Why are racecourses overwatering?

I thought the ground for the most recent meeting at Downpatrick was overwatered and Sligo was beyond a joke.

Have to so-called big trainers so much power that they can demand of racecourses to provide winter ground in the summer? Will there be a shortage of summer horses next year? - Yours etc.,
