Adageo Bob moved into joint 16th place on the list of leading Romford open racers when he won at the London Road circuit on Friday night.

Mark Wallis’ blue is just two wins away from a place in the top ten for figures compiled over the last 25 years. But at four years old he has no chance of catching Peter Rich’s former sprint star Heavens Malchik who won 42 opens over two and four bends at the track on either side of the new Millennium.
