Report:

The weather was kind for our return to Lamplugh and in the seniors Endure had learnt from his previous visit when  he was ‘out off the race’ at an early stage. He led at the road crossing but on the finish he didn’t have things his own way as Celtic Malone was in close contention, in the end he  held on for a length victory., Washington improved into third place and ‘catching the eye’ in fifth place- first time there- Black-Eyed Pea.

The puppy trail and on Monday Thorn Dancer finished behind the Judge in the wrong field and Persian Sky won . Last night, would you believe it, Persian Sky went behind and ‘Dancer’ went over the line -” funny old game’.

The OM and here Huntsman’s Jewel edged out ‘Trooper'( five points) and Explore.

On Radio 4 the programme called Open Country was aired and what an excellent advert for our sport. Although it was ‘radio” it portrayed a picture and captured hound trailing in a different light that most people will be able to understand.
