Report. Cockermouth Show trails held at Bridekirk and on a warm August afternoon Prudence strengthened her hold on the Senior title with a hard fought , three length’ victory over Endure who had led for the majority of the trail., the ever present Aspire finished third.

The senior maidens ,and having been absent from the field, the information gleaned was that Time Traveller had come from eight place to win ,well done Cathy and the hound well it took the p*** in more ways than one !

Back in action for the pups and what a cracking finish – when four hounds came together, the favourite Arizona ran low and Persian Bay came across to join him and both hounds collided but that didn’t diminish from a neck and neck tussle with Silver Charm only a length behind . Arizona stuck his neck out on the line to win, ‘Charm’ just behind and the fourth Billy Bowe.

The pup maidens and that ended in a one -two for the Dearham kennel – when Delta Dawn won handily from Silver Lining . They might be puppy maidens but they were only one second slower than the pups.

And last but not least -the old timers- and James Mac’s Da Look under the watchful eye of Steve  came clear on the long run in to justify even money favouritism by 10 meters from Thorn GIrl.
