Now it's 146 in a row

Kelly Evander, the trotter who has not won one of her 145 races, last night lost her 146th.

The 10-year-old was checked by another horse at Forbury Park, Dunedin, and came last in the Brylin Boyz Trot.

Her owner, Brian O'Connor, 77, who has lost 400 races, said they would return regardless. "She's no world-beater but she might have that one win in her yet."
