Report. 53 runners at Dearham and two kennels provided 20 of them and out of those 13 got tickets.,all seven local hounds were placed including two firsts and a one two was recorded for the Foxparkes in the restricted.

In the seniors only five runners and it looked a formality for Prudence. She had the lead at most road crossings and it was a surprise to see her on the  finish with three hound in front but she soon got her lead back and won by ten meters from Silver Spangle.

The junior trail and this was an exciting finish between Silver Charm, Persian Bay, and Santino, a spectacular leap at the last gutter helped ‘charm’ to a length win over the other two who were neck and neck to the line- that was Persian Bay’s  fourteenth second place! (if only).

In the Open Maidens , Barton finally got a reward for consistency with a handy victory over two Foxparkes and in the last two foxparkes again ,this was the restricted trail but it was two veterans that showed them the way home. Quiet Linnet apparently made a mess of the ‘gutter which put paid to her chances and then it was ‘Blackbird’s’ opportunity to win but’ Homebound Bound’ ‘did’ her in the final strides.

Foxparke Blackbird, as she is now called, is  having a resurgence in her career after returning from Ireland. You may recall that she had four seconds to Enoch over the Dearham trail in 2009 and coincidentally finished the season with fourteen seconds.
