Crosbythwaite HTA Oct trails.

REPORT.

We start with a difference , somebody said I  look forward to your report,

Firstly a thank you to the local farmers,, a special thank you to the two trailers , Ian and Tony, a thankless task in difficult conditions,the Whitehaven Area Committee and anybody else I have missed.

Now for the rest of the day- count to ten —-slowly 1—2—3 then take a step back and look at yourselves, you would have thought that everything was done on purpose.

The hound that returned to the trail field wasn’t chased back again on purpose, the hounds that ran off on the finish of the restricted trail didn’t do it to annoy everybody.

It was one of those days that you get now and then, one of those days!

The restricted trail , the Judge is the only person to Judge, he or she can resort to the camera if necessary and the tape is only a guide to help the judge in arriving at his decision . Therefore if the first six decide to cross the line showing their backsides , jumping a gate and disappearing then how an earth can he with conviction name a result. Those who disagree with the decision of the area Committee , there are proceedings in place and they don’t include Frisbee style , rosette throwing ., still counting, 1   2   3   4.

Now for the trails – In the seniors “Aura led them a merry dance until they disappeared from view and after been reported  getting  wrong at the road crossing and then when most of the field seemed to be in with a shout coming of the fell towards the finish.  It still was a surprise when outsider Accolade took the cheers ( bookies)Aura was second and Denzil in third.

In the senior maidens and Maybe popped up getting the better of Sultan and a posse of foxparkes , and it was a pup trail slower than the seniors.

The eagerly awaited race between the leading pups didn’t disappoint as “Shadow” got the verdict over ” Major ” by half a length and in the puppy maidens the only finisher was Major’s junior Sergeant James in a five minute plus five minutes trail..

Black Eyed Pea made it two in a week when beating only six rivals led in by Free Spirit.
