The last time I did a SAAC race recap was the Gary Rice Championship run. We have had a race since then, but Tom was busy building fence posts so I didn’t have any pictures for a race recap, so I decided to skip the Steve Baird Handicap race recap. I had also planned to do

In the car driving to Horsham, I felt all sleepy and warm and really had little enthusiasm to run the club race. I went in with ZERO expectations. I just wanted to run and survive. Run and survive I did. Horsham is flat, and having run and won this course last year, I knew what

I have a cold (sad face). I’m not too sure where I got it, but either way, I knew that I wasn’t going to have a flash club run. These things happen, and since it’s outside of my control, there is nothing I can do about it, you just have to plod on. This week’s club

Matilda Iglesias called on key elements of her limited race experience to score a clever win over rookie Richard Clarke in blustery conditions at Horsham Weir last Saturday. In the eight kilometre Horsham Little Aths Handicap, Matilda, already a winner over 5 and 6.5 kilometres in just 18 months of racing, had a five second
