Report . The final HTA event of the season at Gamblesby and the spectators were treated to five excellent trails and plaudits to Chris ( Kipper ) Henderson for organising the trails and thanks to all the farmers and landowners , the other two trailers , Jake and Ashley, the numerous scouts, the Area Committee and ‘Wishy’ the gateman.

The senior trail and as the hounds passed the trail field , five of the thirteen runners has broken clear, and had a good lead over the ‘pack’. Overwater Arnie drifted from 6/4 favourite to 5/1, which shows how far the second group was behind. But, it was a different story on the finish when at least eight appeared to-gether and in the lead ‘ Arnie’ ahead of Endure., who pressed ‘ Arnie all the way up the long finish , but once more had to settle for second place, Issabella made late ground to finish third

The senior maidens and Jazz Band drove the trail for the majority and was only headed in the latter stages by Foxparke So Be It nee So Be It, beaten half a length in the process. Also on the premises , most of them!

In the pup trail, Liz was made favourite over General James , but neither could cope with Just Mick, who held on to a slender lead and denied one half of the Reid brothers; the good -looking one , a victory.

. And after being unlucky last week ; Jazz Lyric made no mistakes in the puppy maidens  and romped home by five yards from ‘ Sparrow’ and ‘Rose’.

The final event, the open restricted, and a downpour just as the hounds were finishing made sure that most of today’s followers  went home wet! This trail provided Geoff and Barbara Jones with a much needed ‘fillip ‘ when Starlight held off the strong challenge of JLS to win by a head with Artisan , taking a break from the veterans , in third !.
