Race 2     6 May 2015
A very Gusty, dry, mild evening greeted the six Jaguars ready to run the Promenade. They had the wind in there favour for the first half of the loop, but soon were running into the wind which was testing to say the least. This showed in the times of the Jags who had run previously, but first home was Ken Bowman who a week and a half earlier smashed it in the VMLM Ran a platinum standard. Becky Durant also dug her heels in and improved on her previous time buy 1 sec once again achieving a gold standard. Well done all in the difficult conditions.
