Report. Before we go onto the trails we all wish James and his partner all the best , I don’t know the outcome but He left the field at a ‘rate of knots’ , a daddy to be !.
Marli and Daisy Dream were made favourites after Wednesday’s results but having finished eighth on Wednesday , her winter coat removed, last years bitch produce winner , Thorn Dancer showed in front and came away for an easy win from Marli and Thursday’s winner Jazz Singer.
The Senior maidens and a phone call to grandmother , after the trail , from Sophie told the tale of a victory for non- winner Miterdale Force, who was up to her old tricks of ‘not finishing’ but this time with the help of the last drop she had enough momentum to take her over the tape, only then did she ‘ charge off’ in the direction of home and then return over the tape again . Jazz Band held on for second with former puppy champion Songbird in third.
After Wednesday’s 1-2 the Miterdale’s were expected to emulate this but although ‘Copper’ won , Overwater Roger split them, These three and fourth and fifth were well clear of the remainder .
The restricted trail and victory went to Shameless , who won Wednesday nights void trail. the five year old came from seventh to win easily from another Miterdale , this time ‘Princess’ in front of Free Spirit ( Cliff was watching from the disabled car park)
The first veterans of the season and this went to first year veteran Pip’s Lad, in front of Black Eyed Pea and Artisan ,also first year veterans. The time of the last two trails were nearly identical and compared favourably with Wednesday night’s times.
The trails were well supported and gate money exceeded expectations, the only thing was that Jimmy Batty didn’t know that the trails were on last Wednesday and made a complaint about the missing fixture from the fixture sheet ( my fault).Having said he would have had a substantial bet on the winner , I had a quick collection on his behalf and got precisely nowt.
By the way it is nice to get praise when praise is due and last Sunday at Oulton things were rather hectic on the road crossing and in particular one hound decided to walk up the main road followed by a ‘young ‘ lady who got the hound off the road and down the farm lane. This was witnessed by one of our regulars and he remarked that he thought my ‘daughter had done a ‘good’ job.
The daughter in question was Caroline my 57 year old partner.
