Report. Much better conditions at Kendal this afternoon than the hard ground of last week.And first a generalisation-  patience is a virtue and Mike and Dot Wilding must have nearly exhausted there’s . After persevering with ‘Bobby’ all last season – he had his back sorted and today ran his first Senior trail and finished a creditable sixth or next to last ,whatever!, and along with veteran ‘Freebie’ ,who was third in the vets, a successful afternoon for the kennel.

Onto the seniors and Langdale Ranger led for most of the race and held off the determined challenge of course winner Ladybird and local Razzle Dazzle to win by five yards.

The juniors and after Arizona had made a mess of the last obstacle ,the race looked a certainty for Persian Bay but she didn’t reckon with sister Persian Sky, who fairly scooted up the hill to land a touch in the ring at 4/1, Arizona came from third to pass ‘bay’ for second place.

The restricted trail and relying on someone to keep me  informed on the finish was told that the eventual winner Simply Rascal wasn’t there – well it was and it beat Flawless by a few lengths with the same margin to Mrs McGregor. The one that was in front finished fifth and the man with the ‘eyes’ ‘I missed the first three!.

The veterans and they have been around for a few years , therefore, it was no surprise that nobody recognised former Champ Dairy Diamond leading up the long finish to beat Tagget by five yards with the elder statesman ‘Freebie back in third. Could she win the veterans championship? .
