Hard work goes on and on for Goodwood groundstaff
The drought has continued - and that means so has the round-the-clock watering of the Goodwood turf for the racecourse's groundstaff.
The job of keeping the track in a reasonable condition for Glorious - which starts on Tuesday - has been occupying them day and night.
There's the prospect of a decent-sized amount of rain on Sunday - to follow Friday afternoon's storms and showers - and clerk of the course Ed Arkell couldn't be happier, after just 4mm fell between the start of June and today.
