Report. A warm evening combined with fast open meadows and consequently some tired hounds. In the seniors , prominent at half way were Prudence, Aspire, Westgate belle , but there wasn’t a great deal between them all but the 34 minute trail proved testing and across the line the reigning champ had a comfortable lead over Aspire who finished well to pass ‘Linnet’.
The pup trail and Dairy Lightning cut out the early pace but on the long finish four were in close contention and an exciting finish was in prospect . The spectators were not disappointed as Arizona fought of the persistent challenge of both ‘Charm’ and ‘Bay’ to gain a narrow victory but the eye catching run of fourth ‘Santino’ was noted .
In the restricted trail,and the usual quiet finish was interrupted by Bill aka Scrunt with Sunset Ridge but it couldn’t peg back Saturdays unlucky veteran , Da Look, who despite having a bleeding tongue ,won easily. By the way the second best looking hound Irish Pride finished third.
