Report . To show that this report is unbiased and fair we will start with the maidens, look at the time – only six seconds slower than the senior trail, that puts the maidens on a par with their counterparts – well ! in theory anyway! . But take into consideration I wasn’t shouting ( backed another one) but lisa gave it her best shot and deserves a win, well done! by the way the prize money is in an envelope marked ” Chair”. Unlucky in the race was My Way which lived up to his name and did it his way which unfortunately wasn’t the right one. The first four did a lap of honour and Fiona did an excellent job in judging the wayward hounds , and to cap it all the first hound to actually cross the tape was Maybe , that’s the one I backed, funny old game!
Onto the seniors and the Michael Renney memorial trails , for those who didn’t know Michael ,he was a bookie of the highest calibre and his proper job was a coalman or a purveyor of anthracite, who’s life was taken away long before he was due and we miss the controversial , but genial gent !
The seniors came onto the sharp downhill descent in a bunch and out of it came the Rosthwaite hound Bedazzled getting up on the line to pip Thorn Dancer and Menorah who tied for second.
At this Stage the Committee would like to thank the anonymous lady who quickly reported a hound which had become entangled in a wicket gate , fortunately the hound was no worse and if anybody knows who the person was will they please get in touch !
The pups and Black Legend led down the finish to within an “inch! of the line but once more “pipped” this time by Jenny’s Breeze , that’s number 17, Miterdale Shadow could only manage fifth but still retains the Championship lead.
The puppy maidens and Les Reid had a heart-stopping moment when Huntsman’s Magician , who was well clear at the time, decided to go back to the following pack and give them another chance at winning, but he was still in charge and instead of beating Paddywack by a distance he settled for a dog length. Not a problem but who said Abracadabra go back!
In the final trail , restricted to the quicker of the short trails and won by a veteran, Cherish, completing a kennel double for the Jackson’s in front of Sweet Harmony and Overwater Jack.
