Miracle Mile 2022

Virtually no rainfall for Campbelltown in the last 24 hrs so we should be good but all this talk about whether the mobile goes faster for the big races (helping the inside) may be the reverse tonight as traction for the mobile would be the biggest concern for the track

The weather holds off until the Ainsworth and now the MM is looking a longshot

Well done Kev! You sure put the mocker on that!

I'm afraid that nearby Campbelltown is still copping a drenching. The morning after what was supposed to be MM night, they had 56mm in the guage, this morning they had 46mm more in the guage and so far today they have had 20mm
No Menangle tomorrow

If Menangle is getting similar rain to Campbelltown you would have to think the MM going ahead this Saturday is even money at best
At 9am this morning, that 20mm I reported for yesterday had grown to 109mm

That is now 480mm in 18 days = 63% of Melbourne's yearly rainfall

It is freaky that at the very same time I was typing this so was PP

PP is suggesting a shift to Bathurst (which has had a fraction of the rain). Maybe they should be considering it
Or there is Newcastle if it MUST be a Mile (it also has had minor rain)

The rainfall totals from this event have been staggering.

From 9am Thursday to 9am Monday (4 days) three stations recorded over a metre of rain:

- 1637mm at Mount Glorious, QLD
- 1180mm at Pomona, QLD
- 1094mm at Bracken Ridge

Brisbane has absolutely smashed its three-day rainfall record with 677mm, by recording over 200mm each day for three days in a row.

Before this week it had never even had two consecutive days over 200mm and had only ever recorded eight in total.

The mean annual rainfall for Brisbane is 1011.5mm and it recorded 741mm in just the four days from 9am Thursday and 9am Monday.

Speaking of records, Weatherzone is reporting Dunoon in NSW recorded the second-highest daily rainfall total in NSW when 775mm fell in just the 24 hours to 9am Monday.

If you are not sick of stats yet, Doon Doon in NSW picked up a whopping 1040mm of rain in just the 48 hours to 9am Tuesday. That is over a metre of rain in just two days

That 775mm by Dunoon in 24hrs is more than Melbourne's yearly rainfall, it is the equivalent of over 32mm of rain every hour for 24hrs straight
One dose of 32mm in an hour is enough to wash out a race meeting

He also stole a photo from HRNSW press release and claimed it was Menangle track TODAY despite the press release noting the photo was from a previous flood....

Campbelltown had another 21mm yesterday, surely it will have to be moved. Otherwise it would have to be ready to be trialed on Friday - it is not going to happen
It needs to be run this week or else it will end up 4 weeks between runs for some horses
They must make an announcement today - which will have to be where it is going to be held. Newcastle had 22mm yesterday but Bathurst only 9mm
