Results
Fairfield Horseshoe was first ran as a race in 1966 and is one of the oldest courses in the calendar. Below are as many previous results as could be found. The course as it is currently, with Mark Roberts’ and Vic Wilkinson’s records from 2000 and 2013 respectively, has been the same since the 1992 but prior to that descended direct from Low Pike and was somewhat quicker.
