Report: Another Autumnal September day for the trails at Helton and another report as seen from the last and only road.
The view up the finish as seen from the road shows that one trod becomes three or four trods then they merge back into one showing that hounds try to pass each other but eventually have to settle for the main route.
Having said that ! Persian Prince found a way past Jazz Band in the pup maidens. He came into view with what looked like an unbeatable lead but capitulated on the uphill section, although rallying in the final strides he had to settle for second, that completed a ‘Persian ‘ double as earlier Persian Sky had beaten Bracelet . She was always in command and the only difference from the road to the finish was Paloma Faith edging out Venus for third place.
Endure hasn’t been in the winners enclosure since the 13th of May but he won today’s senior trail impressively and by a wide margin , ‘Wallie’, showed his liking for the venue with a commendable second with Marli and the improving ‘Canny’ close behind.
The senior maidens and here Layla completed her quota for the season when she beat Cracking Mover and Sparrowmire Lily . Dave and John were a tad disappointed, she was being aimed at the October trails, Ah well somebody’s loss will be somebody’s gain.
The final event of the afternoon was the restricted event which are fast becoming known as ‘ the silent finish’.
Silent or not Two Tone makes his own noise, and together with Carrick and Cartier dominated, winning by a ‘distance from points leader Mrs McGregor in fourth place.
