STEVE Naylor continued his record-breaking season with victory in the Hornton 6-mile race on Saturday.

In doing so, the Woodstock Harrier rattled up his 25th race triumph in just under two years of running.

Naylor smashed the ten-year-old course record by 29 seconds as he cruised to victory in the race, which incorporated the latest round of the Oxfordshire Grand Prix ser-ies.

With a field of 140 runners, Naylor opened up a decent lead after the first mile.

He was quickly into his stride and showed a burst of pace in the hilly part of the race as he made a determined effort to beat his time of last year.

And he did just that, crossing the line in 31mins 22secs – a minute faster than his time from 12 months ago and a course record.

Oxford City’s Steve Male was second in 33.33, closely followed by Nigel Marley (Co-ventry Godiva) and James Bolton (Woodstock.

The win marked Naylor’s 25th race triumph in just un-der two years of running.

It also proved a good day for Woodstock as Sophie Carter won the ladies’ race in 37.53, finishing well clear of her nearest rivals.

Carter saw off the challenge of Banbury Harriers’ Mich-elle Bartlett, who was second and landed the vet 35 ladies’ honours in 39.58.

Third woman home was Headington Roadrunner Cha-rlotte Harris in 40.34.

Good bunching from the Woodstock men meant they also took home the team prize, while Headington Road-runners claimed the women’s title.
