Runners not to hand , blame it on the weather.

Report. From the sublime to the ridiculous the saying goes , red hot on Monday ,soaked to the skin on Wednesday. Jenny’s Aura coped with the rain and the favourite beat Miterdale Copper by ten metres with Gracie similarly in third and Jenny’s Delight in fourth. LIz and Thorn Diamond were recovered later on that evening.

The pup trail and after about five minutes the majority of the runners retuned to the start and then ensued something reminiscent of a rodeo as they circled the trail field in leaps and bounds. Meanwhile competing the course and notching his first win was Bully’s Baba O’ Riley; named after a song by the Who, followed by five pups all gaining their first tickets.

It was getting like Autumn as the day grew darker and up popped Westgate Autumn to win the Maidens courtesy of a white hound who preferred a lap of the finishing field instead of the bait tin.

The all-in and I was All-in and went home .hence no sixth in the last.

You know it is inclement weather when Judge Tommy doesn’t sign the winning tickets . By the way if he had done he would be still there writing out Foxparke Shaka Laka Boom Boom.
