Report.  Overwater Arnie had to win the last three championship trails to tie with Bracelet , it was a tall order and He fell at the first hurdle when Bracelet came from behind Endure to win and seal the 2016 senior championship, Arnie was a game fourth and only in the final stretches did he lose ground to the leading pair.

The puppy trail and it wasn’t the winner or the second that was the talking point , it was the unfortunate unplaced General James, as most of you are aware the ” General ” has been placed in all his trails since the season commenced, a feat unparalleled  in trailing history , and with only three meetings left , he, for some unknown reason, was ‘ tailed off’ at the first road crossing and couldn’t make up the lost ground.  To finish seventh of seven must be a bitter blow , but still it is a wonderful achievement and will be recorded in the history of trailing firsts ( nearly)

Onto the maidens and ‘ would you believe it’ it was won by one of the few non winners that are left, Foxparke Peggy Sue , who  led the ‘ purple army’ interspersed by Bant’s Mist and another one was sixth . ‘ Babushka’, whose trainer was heard to say ‘ I’ll beat Sugar Ray tonight ‘  reply was –

‘No chance’!

“If  it does then he’s for sale ”
