Report. Washington beat Sambuca for win number six of the season and I managed to get him on film . There wasn’t a great distance between all eight runners and it was only in the later stages that the first two pulled away from Cool  Enough in third ,who was in the rear for most of the trail.

The puppy trail and current table leader Miterdale Shadow could only manage fifth place after losing ground at the halfway stage, the race became a dual between Mystery Bound and Rio the former getting the better by a length, she is in the capable hands of the Brownlee’s whilst Glenis and Ray are on holiday and as one person put it to Victor who caught the winner , “When was the last time you were in the winners enclosure.”

The maiden trail and Meadow Josie came clear in the last 50 meters to beat Captain Jack and Barncroft Gold.

Ben 10 came home in the restricted trail consisting of only 5 runners I suppose three meetings ,15 trails over the weekend in the middle of September, what do you expect!

On Sunday a tongue in cheek experiment was carried out regarding aniseed of old and the present day aniseed. half of the 50 people preferred the scent of the old  and the other half was divided by the modern and couldn’t tell any difference.

Although this was not an accurate test it was noted that while we were on the field the old aniseed crystallized whilst the other stayed in liquid form.  There might be something to work on or it could be a load of balls!
