Report. A pleasant  afternoon in the Rusland valley, an odd shower ,nothing to worry about, cars stuck, so what!

If you were at the trails in spring you would have seen Songbird run out and run the trail in reverse, today she nearly did the same but at the last minute she swung left and went away with a good lead whish she came with on the finish and despite her lead being rapidly reduced by Jennie’s and Ladybird, she held on to record her first senior win of the season.,

The pup trail and as they ran the fell ,the crack was there is one on its own, correction there are two. The three hounds came on the finish Miterdale Shadow ,hardly visible in the elephant grass beat Escape comfortably by 50 yards and a similar distance to Jenny’s Breeze in third.

The maidens and Yogi Bear zig-zagged his way up the finish with Chavenel and Miterdale Proper plus plenty more in close attendance. Basically the finish was a no passing zone, first on the beaten track , first over the line.

Canny Girl won the restricted by 20 yards from Kerrymore to complete a disastrous day for one bookie and a trying day for the filmmakers.
