Gary Saunders found
the basically flat conditions to his liking in
last Saturday’s Community
Axis Handicap, attacking the race from the start
to take out the event by over 2 minutes.
Run over
a 5km bushland course at Haven, south of Horsham,
runners had to negotiate several steep sided gullies
along the way.
Running from the front mark, Saunders
was never challenged, maintaining his speed to the
finish and recording one of his fastest times for
the year.
Behind him Nat Watson, Sharon Howden and
David McAllistar were coming up behind to claim
the minor placings.
With 400 metres to go, Sharon
Howden and Susie Ellis were battling it out for second
and third positions, with Howden just getting the
better of Ellis this time.
Nathaniel Warren
continued his great form of this season to again
take out the fastest race time of 18 minutes 17 seconds.
Susie Ellis was the fastest female in a time of 21
minutes 6 seconds.
Sisters Ebony and Somer Darnell
scored a family double with Ebony taking out the
junior event and Somer taking out the sub-junior
event.
