Report. Rain you wanted , rain you got , by the bucketful,. The hounds enjoyed it , the spectators didn’t!
Course specialist ( pup trail ) Liz once she got onto familiar ground made up the ground she lost at the start and notched up her first senior success, second was Persian Bay and the time was on a par with last season ( sceptics please note).
Was it a hare or was it a fox, it was a hare with a bushy tail—– anyway it ran across the finish before the pup trail and caused a certain amount of confusion- the one who was expected to run off was the winner , Black Legend put in a circle with the race won and the rest were “uphill and down dale ”
Onto the maidens and coming out of the wilderness was Fireman Sam- with Tony ( Tuts) Irving recovering from surgery , it was left to”Chutz” to chase after Sam who after ignoring his bait led him a merry dance (sort of ). Chasing Sam home was Wishe’s WANTED D/A and Breeze.
The last event was witnessed by just a hardy few and Ben 10 won by 10 yards from Belle and Mick.
