1 DECEMBER 2020 (see video here)
Up to A4 grade Mary ran at 9/4 fav from trap 1 in a 5 dog race. She did not make her best break but showed good early pace and great determination to force her way through to the lead on the rails at the first bend. She ran in the lead down the back but then was just about passed going into the third bend. She would not give in though and held her place and caused some carnage at the final bend.

19 NOVEMBER 2020 (see video here)

5 NOVEMBER 2020 (see video here)
Dropped down to A4 but still a tough race but she had her favourite box 1 and ran at 11/2. She made a good break and was running 3rd round the rail and down the back straight but at the 3rd bend she got stood on from behind and only just managed to stay on her feet. She finished last in 28.98 calc.

Thanks to her win over the 428m distance last week Mary was kept in a hot A3 this week and ran from trap 1 at 6/1.

22 OCTOBER 2020 (see video here)
After a long wait for a race Mary came in late into B2 grade over 428 metres and ran at 7/2 from trap 2. As hoped she made a great break and lead to the bend and then it was a case of holding on and this she did - by a short head - to win in 26.22 cal, a very good time.

23 AUGUST 2020 (see video here)
As the only railer in the field Mary ran from trap 1 in the first Semi Final of the BGBF British Bred Sprint competition at Towester as complete outsider at odds of 16/1.

16 JULY 2020 (see video here)
The third of our runners on the day to go off as favourite, this time at 13/8 from trap 1. Unfortunately Mary continued the bad day for us. She broke OK and was strong around the first bends to come out leading on the inside alongside the 6 dog out wide.

Back to A3 grade Mary was well backed and ran at 15/8 from trap 1. She was fast away as normal and led to the first bend. Trouble for the rest of the field around the first two bends left her clear down the back straight. At the 4th bend the 3 dog (an open class S1 dog) started getting worryingly close and duly took her on the line to win by a short head! Mary still recorded a fantastic 27.64, her best ever time at Henlow.
18 JUNE 2020 (see video here)
