Report. A damp start, a fine finish, that’s the weather not the trails.

To avoid the pups striking the senior trail, the shorter trails were first to run, the only downfall to this is that most of the crowd had gone home rather than wait over an hour for one trail.

That didn’t spoil what was an excellent day’s sport.

The pups and the top two pups took each other on again and this time” Shadow “showed just in front and held on tenaciously to a slender lead over arch rival ” Major” contrary to the amateur on the video. Kinniside Molly was third , the first of four tickets for the ” keep the bar open ” team.

The pup maidens and once more a close one with Kinniside Meg touching off Jenny’s Breeze on the line,” drinks all round ” was the cry ! And a special mention for ” Juicy Fruity ” The “Black’Un !  was that her first ticket ?

The maiden trail and the camera was used to split Tempress and KInniside Beauty with Sultan in third.

I don’t think that Quiet Linnet is photogenic , once again she came with a commanding lead in the veterans but the first two in the seniors had to rely on the camera and it couldn’t split Washington and Tommy’s Legacy. I didn’t see the finish we were trying to round up a couple of hounds returning on the trail ( they weren’t supposed to do that, that’s why the seniors were last.) C’est la vie !
