Report’ Ward Hall with its commanding views over the Solway and the Cumbrian and Scottish coastline is a popular venue , when it fine! and it was when we got there but by mid trail time it was rather inclement , to be honest it p******* down.

It was fine and muggy for the seniors and Endure the 4/1 on jolly gave his backers a scare ( there wasn’t any!! ) when it looked curtains for him when Sambuca came to his side with five meters to go but he had a quick glance , saw the danger ,and quickened in the style of a Champ, Cool Enough and Washington had a race for third and likewise Liz and Silver Dusk for 8/4d

The pup trail and it sounded like half of Eskdale were shouting Buster, Buster. well ! it worked and Miterdale Shadow scored again to keep his lead in the puppy table.

Now it started to rain , the bookies changed the cars around, waterproofs were donned by those who stayed in the car and those outside ,just got wet ! And in the maidens a one/two for the Westgate litter as Foxparke Saucy Nancy bt Westgate Luther or should it be Luther stopped and Nancy had no choice!.

Seven hardy souls were sent on their way in the veterans , keen as mustard , “they are daft” said one  and” we are  bloody dafter” ! said another. Result 6 pts to Artisan.

PS 8/4d is the old prize money for 4-5and 6 .
