Harestock Handicap Results - November 2018
On a lovely night for racing 16 runners turned out to contest the November Handicap. The field included 3 event newbies in Andrew White, Dan Carter and Neil Brown a very distinguished trio who all posted sub-7's and provided an exciting blur of high-viz chasers carving through the pack. Overall 8 runners managed to meet or beat their handicap - 50% meeting or beating? unbelievable handicapping - and 10 runners crossed the line in the sweetspot of the blanket finish.
nOur winner on the night was Adrian Field, a clear winner and fitting that on a night of newbies one of our longest standing handicap participants showed them how. Matt Lavers, of whom more anon, was second and Andrew White, on debut, was third.
nFastest on the night was Andrew White with a sparkling 6'15 which puts him straight onto the honours board at No.17. Next fastest was Lee Hayes recovering well from his recent 119km, 3730m effort at the Salomon Cappadocia Ultra-trail to record another new PB at the Harestock Handicap with 6'27 which puts him up to No.30 on the board. Dan Carter on debut at this event and a fine prospect for the future was third fastest with 6'37, onto the board at No.41. On a night of quality racing we had 7 under 7.
