Report. The penultimate weekend of the season , a nice day , a good crowd , good trails what more could you ask for ?. A cup of tea but what happened to the tea van ?
The senior trail and last Thursday the report said ” where does “Roo” go in the marsh before the finish well! after today , who cares! she found her way through and kept on well to beat Menorah, the puzzle of the trail was – “Where was “Bessy ” going- after taking up the lead approaching the finish she turned uphill and climbed putting herself out of the race and her supporters as well.
On to the maidens and the majority of the runners were in with a chance at one stage or another. On the finish and Mickledore turned left after jumping the final obstacle leaving the race for kennelmate Out Of The Blue who also benefitted from Persian Prince’s reluctance to finish. An early wedding present for Liz and Tom.
The pup trail and Jenny’s Aura signed off with a bang winning easily and crowned puppy champion for 2016 with 34 wins.
The pup maidens and from a non- winner Captain Jack has now won two in a week. He beat Foxparke Rosie Lee and Miterdale Steel in a good race and still has one more opportunity on the final day of the season.
And the last trail resulted in the easiest win of the day as Songbird minus lynn won as she pleased from the next three which could have been a veterans trail, Kerrymore ,Artisan ( 6 year old and her first Buttermere trail) and Silver Spangle.
