Report.

Well! the season got underway with a bang, literally, when Denis Peare’s car exploded when the pups were finishing, the front suspension air-bag went of (don’t ask me) and numerous people ducked for cover , ‘ what the hell was that ?’.

The camera was in use for the first trail and then again for the maidens and it was also used in the pups , not for a photo but to find the second!

The seniors and which ‘Try’ would it be-Try Again cut out the early work but on the finish it was Try Time with a ten metre lead which he almost threw away and after a long consultation with the camera He was given the verdict by a short head over the fast finishing Jenny’s Delight.

In the pups and Miterdale Shadow won by the proverbial mile and the second was also well clear of the third and they were all the same colour!.

Sugar Ray started the season with a short head win over Miterdale Proper with Miterdale Steele a close up third, that put a smile on Lisa’s face but I can’t say the same for the owner (Grumpy).

Tommy’s Legacy held off Bewitched in the all-in and the field owner came after we’d left and planted a crop of seed potatoes.
