Report: If you followed the signs to Cockermouth Show you missed the trails if you happened to find Bridekirk then you missed the show. Well you missed the agricultural bit but not some exciting  finishes that had the spectators on their toes.

24 runners in the first two trails and a practical walk over for Champion elect , Endure who won by a wide margin from Arizona and Dairy Lightning not so in the maidens where Fireman Sam led over the final obstacle , only to find the long run in rather daunting and gave way to first,  Kinniside Beauty who then succumb to the faster finisher in Meadow Josie.

The pup trail and a rare defeat for Huntsman’s Major when he couldn’t contend with the sharper finishing speed of Crazy having her first win since early June making 10 in total. Rio was third after holding every chance.

The pup maidens and three hounds stole a march before the Redmain road and consequently finished alone with a fourth a long way back and the rest were picked up as waifs and strays. Of those who made it Sergeant James for the third trail in a row came in front only to be passed in the closing stages , this time it was Escape making it a Moore Family double.

The final trail of the afternoon went to Artisan who won comfortably from Quiet Linnet with Keystone in third.
