Another afternoon on the road, shortage of scouts in the Eskdale valley or, is it a ploy to keep me out of the way? By the way I’ve got eyes in the back of my head!
The seniors and Songbird set the early pace but as they approached the finish it had developed into a two dog race, Jenny’s Aura and Thorn Dancer, the former winning for the tenth time , second place in the Championship and with Endure still on the side lines could make champion two years running..
The senior maidens and there is an old saying in trailing circles if a hound is said to be lame ,then back it and, in goes Night Vision, slightly lame after Sandale, must have worn it off said Neil with a smile .
Miterdale Shadow, long odds on and won easily – but it was the only hound out of all of them that made a pig’s ear of the last road, mind it had time for a cup of tea at Tom Posses’ and still win.
And in the last- three crossed the last road together :A red’un and two locals. The red’un won by a small margin- Bewitched in front of Jack and Billy.
