I won’t be there on Tuesday 4th June, but hope that you will have warmer weather for this one. The pack has been reshuffled according to principles of justice, fairness and personal prejudice. Oh yes, – and the rules (don’t … Continue reading →

May Results

Posted on 7th May 2019 by Alf Tupper

Colder than most previous handicap races in May at 12C and overcast, but dry and firmer ground than last month. The record number of participants possibly caused some to start too fast and then the queues at the stiles provided … Continue reading →

Noel Morris Memorial Handicap – April Results

Posted on 2nd April 2019 by Alf Tupper

Slotting in neatly between the hailstorms – brilliantly organised by Rob P and Kate – this was a much more exciting race than in March, mainly because there were more people (27) with tighter handicapping. It was cold (7C), and … Continue reading →
