Berry ends losing run

Jack Berry has decided against temporarily shutting down his Cockerham stable after an upturn in his horses' fortunes.

His second winner in 28 starts for his runners came when Red Simba won at Wolverhampton on Saturday night. A similarly bad run of 45 losers was halted by a win at Carlisle on the last day of June but the latest signs have encouraged Berry.

"A few have started to run a little better," Berry said. "It has been very hot and humid here and possibly the air quality isn't the greatest, but we have scrubbed the yard from top to bottom - it's so clean you could eat your dinner off it."
