Report : There was a story going around that” we are using our own mixture “- I far as I can ascertain they have been using their own mixture all season, paraffin from a known source and aniseed from the same dealer, made by Spike who also looks after the rags, any variation of this is against the rules. All I can say is Queen beat Buble- in the seniors – Hawkswood second in the juniors , Capetown won the maidens all travelled from the Westmorland Area, an area renowned for sticking to the rules regarding the mixture.
To put matters right – It is not my mixture but mixture that has been in Black and White since the beginning of time.
Back to the evenings entertainment , a few bob on Galemire Gracie went astray as the Dawson’s Kendal pair Queen and Buble took a one two in the seniors , not much between the three with Songbird in fourth ,at the moment in the McMaster kennel at Dearham whilst Raymond and Denise take a break in Ibiza. In the juniors ” Shadow” strengthened his position at the top of the table with a facile victory, around a half – minute in front of Hawkswood and Steel End..
And the bookies bogey , veteran Capetown won the maidens from , yet another Kinniside ,this time “Beauty” , half a length separating them.
