This year’s Eyebright Mile was very satisfying. Conditions were calm at the start and stayed that way until the last few hundred metres, making for a challenging finish.
A lead bunch of Hayden Squance, Chris Smithers and Terry Bone set the pace, with first Hayden and then Chris easing ahead towards the finish.
Lilly Claridge, Keshia Linyard and Christina Harris were the first three women.
