Report. On a warm , shirt sleeve night in the stunning Newlands Valley– Two Questions – Why was the seniors 2+mins slower than the maidens and why did the first two pups veer of in the penultimate field. Some would say the answer to the first question : The maidens ran faster , tongue in cheek, but is it right? The second question , and a guess,  what about the catchers voices echoing?

In the seniors and if you are a “time watcher” then Lone Rebel has already finished, Jenny’s Delight won clearly from Eden Rossi , a good second ,a fields and dykes runner,. Not Now! and in third ever present Washington.

Next , one of the few midweek maiden  trails, on a dead rag and as reported; faster than the seniors , and a superior performance from ” metal Mickey” aka Lone Rebel , he finished alone  with Miterdale Proper in second.

The pups, and after Jim Bob had correctly identified the first three, and “Major” has no chance was told they are not the leaders but third , fourth ,fifth, the favourite and kennelmate are well clear. Is there a specsavers in Millom?.

Then to “cap it all” the first two swung to their left and disappeared from view but as the bookies were counting their money , they returned and still had enough lead to win easily.

And in the last the well supported Menorah , Christine and Victor Brownlee’s charge won in a close race with veterans Free Spirit and Huntsman’s Hope in second and third.
