Report. A pleasant afternoon in the Eskdale Valley for the annual puppy Show trails. And getting things underway was Jenny’s Aura who won the senior trail in a hack canter, Marlou was best of the rest in front of the two Miterdales. The senior maidens and a Laidler cast off Sugar Ray obliged for Lisa and Graham , he led at the first road and the last road and where it mattered although Kinniside Bess was closing.
Three pups came through the last gate neck and neck and the stronger finishing Cuckoo Lane won by a length from Forlorn Spring and Babylon.
The last two races featured two close finishes and the Jackson’s of Borrowdale came off worse in both events when,firstly, Foxparke Jewel edged out Bewitched and then Debra got up on the line to deny Bedazzled in the veterans.
Now on a sad note – commiserations to the Steele family of Low Place on their loss of promising puppy Miterdale Spirit.
One tale for the notebook. a noted supporter of the sitting down brigade of trailers ,said ” Debra has just got beat, when it was quite obvious to all that she had prevailed on the line. On checking her line of view of the finish , cameraman Bill had parked his vehicle in a direct line with the tape, her view was restricted to ,before the line and after the line I can report that nobody argued, they daren’t!!!!!
