Mark Wallis burst through the 100 open race winner target on Friday. Although he has double the points of closest rival Kevin Hutton, he reached same landmark last year midway through April.
In fact, in terms of individual winners, the Lakenheath trainer has only 22 more victories than Phil Simmonds. The Wallis points total continues to be enriched with plenty of Cat 1 & 2 finalists.
15 of the top 20 handlers also featured in the top 20 this time last year. The new arrivals are Matt Dartnall, Ricky Holloway, Derek Knight, Heather Dimmock and Carol Weatherall.
