Helen Horsler continued her fine run over the sixth furlong, with her portfolio up 22.9% to date, doing more than twice as well as the FTSE 100 and All-Share indices. Nevertheless, she failed to gain ground on the runaway leader, Heather Jones, whose portfolio was up by no less than 43.7%.
With only one furlong to go, it would not be surprising if performance flagged, but it would be remarkable if anyone were to catch Heather now. The finishing line is 30 September and the result will be announced soon afterwards.
