Report.. Lightning strikes at Dean.

On a fine ,warm night only six seniors faced the starter and one of those succumbed to the fast going and pulled up after half way. The weather suited ‘Dixie’ and at a generous 4/1 she beat ‘Ted’ and Endure.

In the junior trail and ,once again showing a liking for the course, Irene and Arthur Temple’s Dairy Lightning notched the first win of the season and became the second pup this week to loose it’s maiden tag. Lightning eased up but  had enough lead to beat the joint favourites.

Willow Bay held off the challenge of Barton in the maidens and the consistent Trooper got another three points

Now the last trail and again ‘silent night’. It was a good race  to the line and in the silence of the night ,just the odd ‘hey lass’, that was probable the sixth.

The other five ,what can you say ,hounds were being patted and fussed over because they didn’t win and Quiet Linnet ,she was favourite so she duly obliged whether she was wanted or not.

Time for a look at the Restricted format , perhaps!
