Report>
In the seniors the second favourite beat the favourite , Try Time getting the better of kennelmate Try Again minus Jonty and Evie but left in the capable hands of Jack and Jake, Try Again made most of the running but in the end was five metres adrift, another clipped hound Explore was third and in fourth unclipped Miterdale Copper.
If you wanted a tip in the pups ,well! Jonty turned up, and in went Crazy ,fulfilling winter promise , she just held the former chairman’s and his son-in-law’s Cuchulainn, I’ve nicknamed it ‘cuckoo lane’ but it’s pronounced Kahulin ( Culann’s Hound), Crazy was a six to one shot and was three minutes faster than Saturday’s event.
The last trail or not the last trail- what happened? well! a pup came back as the hounds were lined up ,causing confusion, the starter wasn’t in position when some hounds ‘got off’ , then some more went, Now, the correct procedure would have been to disqualify those hounds , remark the rest – but as there were no hounds left to mark, the whole lot were disqualified and the trail made void.
Just a note here- this was a restricted trail consisting of mainly maidens, which as you are aware if they win they lose their status-if ,by chance the expected winner a restricted hound by definition is one of those hounds that beat the flag then the trail in reality becomes a maiden trail with restricted rules, therefore if you are slipping a maiden , what are your options?
