In the London and Home Counties Vets 25 at Maidenhead Richard Jerome recorded a 1.03 35 in difficult conditions as the event was run in wet conditions and parts of the road were extremely damp after the heavy rain. One third of the field did not start and several did not finish as they punctured on the gritty roads.
