Report: The last hound in the Also Ran’s was Cool Return and that describes the weather , cold , windy and not ‘ May’ ,more like October.

Marli has  hit form and recorded win number two with a few lengths to spare , over the ever present , General James, . Kenmore who was ‘up with the pace at half- way , dropped away and running on for third place was Tommy’s Legacy.

The pup trail and  a lot of registered pups are the same colour and it was intimated that at sometime during the season it might cause a camera problem. Well ! sorting out last night’s result was a nightmare for ‘rookie ‘ judge Allison Langhorn.

According to the camera three hounds crossed the line as one.

But in reality there was four and to add injury , the leading hounds carried on , passed their catchers’ making the ticket catchers job more difficult.

Sorted it out and it ended with a win for Miterdale Shadow and the winning distances – three short heads.

The open maidens and again the camera was in action , Lone Rebel was initially  judged first ,  then after consulting the camera the  decision was changed and the spoils went to Fireman Sam.

In 2014 Fireman Sam won 17 pup trails and in 2015 Lone Rebel won 12, beset by injury perhaps patience will be rewarded.

The final race the all-in , which once more is the talking point , and what was it designed for , to bring hounds back into training , it could end up with its own points competition ! Oh and Misha bt Thorn Fire.

PS- All members wish Marie Crowe a speedy recovery from her sudden illness over the weekend, our thoughts are with David and family . Quote! I’d rather be at home Knitting! Marie Crowe!
