Report>

Quite an interesting evening on Kirkbride Airfield, what with a rally car being tested, John Crone riding up the runway singing ‘If I had wings’.lol.

The trails and in the Seniors Persian Bay, Marli , Endure and JLS were the first four to the last road and that’s how they finished with last seasons pup champion Persian Bay holding off the persistent challenge of Marli to register her first senior win at the rewarding odds of 12/1.

In the pups and notching her first success, after a promising winter campaign, was Alan Blacklock’s Margaret Rose. She held off the consistent Canny Mover by a length with Misha a head back in third. Watching the video you realise that if hounds aren’t sure what’s on the ground they will jump it.

£90 worth of all-inners were led in by Fireman Sam from Bracelet and Paloma Faith, catch the video of the finish to see the first 16.

Surprise of the evening was when Alan Blacklock learnt that Beatrix Potter newly  minted 50p pieces were retailing for a £100, he wanted two for a £1 and David Studholme was highly delighted when he found out it was our Pat and not Me who is moving to Hi laws.
