Report. The forecast was thunder storms and they were right but luckily their timing was out and the trails had just concluded when the heavens opened and in minutes the lanes were awash, making looking for missing hounds almost impossible, luckily all hounds were accounted for including one which  ended up in Egremont dog pound.

The seniors was a disappointing affair with only three runners none of which had run there and the result was that all three retuned to the start

The pup trail and once again “ A Long One” these were led in by Black Legend his second win of the week, the first four were well clear and the rest” strung out like Monday’s washing.”

The last two trails seem to fare much better and as for the details they are a tad scarce as I embarked on a reuniting mission.

I can say that Tommy’s Legacy led the restricted at the second last road and the maidens ,watch the video.

Report. A nice warm evening for the first Cockermouth and Workington trails of the 2017 season . And a little bit of niggle , ” it’s that HTA mixture ! you mean the same formula that has been used for over 100 years is to blame for anything that goes wrong!

Lets look at the times of the trails especially the pup trail ( running for the first time )

2017  – 21.55   2016- 20 -45    2015- 20 27    2014 -19.47           2013 -22.45             2012- 22.00      2011 19.33   2010      2009  17.25    2008- 21 02     2007 22.03.

These are the last ten years which presumably has been run over the same course – the odd one out is 2009 which Dairy Diamond ran in 17.25 but on the Whit Monday trail ran it in over 19 mins.

The average time, taking out the slowest and fastest,  is around 20 minutes, considering the weather, it wasn’t a bad effort.

The rest of the meeting and former puppy champion Persian Bay got of the mark with a length victory over another former champ , Prudence and Miterdale Shadow recorded his  twelfth win when he outpaced the rest of the field putting daylight between him and his rivals on the long finish.

The non- winners and this trail was decided by the cattle, just as the hounds appeared on the finish, they decided to charge splitting them all over the spot, three of the hounds managed to find a way around and claiming a victory was Thorn Dollar caught by a reluctant Phil Graham ( not accustomed to catching winners) in front of Mamma Mary and Bess.

And the all -in went the way of the points leaders Persian Sky and Thorn Fire and that was after an unprecedented scale , lets face it on a nice night there is no point in rushing and it was a pleasant night to take in the view. I blame the mixture! the third trail on the dead rag on a warm night and of course nobody saw the live game, “what live game” ! that which nobody saw !.

The International entry forms are available and trail mixture will be internatiomal  ie Paraffin and aniseed with oil added if deemed necessary.

Report. The quickest route from Kirkland to Lazonby , as the crow flies, turn left to Sowerby Row next right proceed for a couple of miles and come to the road you have just left. Bollocks!

In the seniors Prudence showed her liking for the course and she won in “hack canter” from “Denzil ” aka Washington with the improving Eclipse in third.

The puppy trail and -finally- Rio got his head in front, after a number of frustrating seconds, this was at the expense of Jenny’s Breeze who was also seeking her first win. and in the non-winners John Loan’s Steel End got the better of Westgate Autumn in a close finish and the last betting race saw favourite Cracking Gold hold off the challenge of Sultan followed by the two Summers – Rose and Dancer.

Report: Firstly , a question? When was the last time one kennel turned out 18 runners at one meeting – in the words of the “Boss”

” The whole lot are running ” and what’s more is there anybody else had 18 available runners. ?

Runner-Up in last seasons Championship , and with the untimely demise of the Champion Bracelet, Overwater Arnie, pre- season favourite, notched up win number two and looks destined to be a lively contender for top honours this season. And in the pup trail Miterdale Shadow won easily and win number 11 takes him well clear in the junior table honours.

In the maidens nobody would begrudge a win for two of trailing’s stalwarts , none other than the “Town Crier” and his wife Dot who’s Wild Gypsy got the better of  sibling Miterdale Steele and in the last David Crowe , who’s partner Marie is recovering from illness had a nice win with a recruit from the overwater kennel in the shape of “Jack” ,second was the consistent Free Spirit and Quiet Linnet third.

Report. Midges 1 punters 0.

The first of two meetings at Rusland, the picturesque valley between Windermere and Coniston, a hidden valley, or in trailers terms ” Where the hell is it “. . Turn left , turn right and follow the road to the “back of beyond”, And if you don’t succeed the first time then Try -try Again.

The senior trail and after 12 minutes and in view of the spectators Song Bird , took a right instead of a left and ended up going the wrong way around. Kenmore scored his first success at the expense of Jenny’s Delight and Persian Bay.

The pups and an excellent race developed between Miterdale Shadow , Black Legend, and Huntsman’s Major, they finished in that order with only a length between them but in the following trail Lone Rebel finished ” a proverbial mile in front “, apparently the stock at the final road had a say in proceedings.

The last trail the all-in could have been easily mistaken for a veterans when four of the six were of that ilk. Debra won for the young ones, she’s only five.

Report   Not a large senior field but it  included a two times champion, the current table leader, last seasons senior championship runner-up, and they were all put to sleep by Eden Rossi gaining his first senior success, he had a battle on the long finish with Prudence who he mastered in the last 20 yards and then held off her renewed challenge to win by a length.

The pups and last week’s winner Hawkswood was unplaced , the race going to the fast -finishing Del Boy and second once again ,Rio in front of Broncho.

It’s not often you get a fast-finishing non-winner but Summer Dancer is just that, he simply streaked away from Steel End and we will see how he fares when upgraded.

The largest field of the day was the Open Restricted and it was an easy win for Cracking On( spurred on by Bill )

Just a guess! and on a pleasant afternoon Carol Jackson and travelling head lad “Spike ” Loan struck with an 84/1 double with Bedazzled and Cherish, Bedazzled won rather easily from Thorn Fire’ emerging from the all-in’s’ with local Miterdale Copper back in third, and Cherish , a first year veteran, won in  similarly fashion from Irish Pride with again the local back in third.

Miterdale Shadow won the pups very easily from Cuchulainn , who was running here for the first time, and then three Kinnisides – Meg ‘ Molly’and Mel and in the last Miterdale Princess won by a few yards from Razzle Dazzle.

Report: Welcome back to Kirkland’ overlooking Ennerdale ‘and a  lot warmer than Monday .

After his narrow defeat by “Atnie”on Monday , Tommy’s Legacy was made a short odds -on fav and after leading onto the finish was passed by maiden Kinniside Joe, Tommy was reported to have a pad problem but that doesn’t lessen “Joe’s ” victory as it is quoted ” the last shall be first and the first last”, The” General” led at Bowness Knott – ” Joe” was last.

The pup trail and once more the clash between the two top contenders and this time it was the superior finishing speed of Crazy that landed the spoils with another two Kinnisides in third and fourth.

The maidens and despite stopping and waiting ,Cool return after dropping back to second got up to defeat yet another kinniside this time “Beauty”

The All-In practice trail was next and Thorn Fire made six out of eight.

Report; Former Champ Prudence got herself back on the winning track with an all the way victory over course winner Arizona,. She notched up win number three and keeps her on course for this seasons honours.

The pup trail and a first win for Little Langdale hound Hawkswood owned and trained by Dennis Peare and Jackie Gill, still travelling in Jackie’s car after Dennis’ “blew up” at Bower. She showed with Rio and went on to win by a couple of lengths Overwater Stanley had a chance but disappeared on the run in ( turned up the fpllowing morning )

The favourite Eden Rossi duly obliged in the last easily accounting for Sweet Harmony.

Report: It was a nice warm day then somebody pulled the plug out, hell ! it was a cold night, the bookie shouted” three Golden Balls “, it was lucky to have three..

Eight seniors and reduced to five after 13 Minutes ,then to four and by the finish – two, as Overwater Arnie and Tommy’s Legacy had a real tussle up the last meadow with “Arnie” prevailing by a foot , the two Tries were back in third and fourth and the “General ” was taking in the scenery for Wednesday.

The top two in the puppy table clashed and honours went to Miterdale Shadow finishing fast with The “Sergeant” in third,which was backed on the downward slope together with “Becks” who finished only fifth both split by the consistent Black Legend and championship contender Crazy.

Now! If there was a trophy for patience it would have gone to the Mark’s with their hounds Summer Rose and Dancer. Willy and Craig persevered last year and after a consistent spell Summer Rose finally got her head in front at the expense of the late bred Miterdale Steele. She did win a Non Winners at Kirkstone last season and Buble was second,. I was informed on Tuesday night.

It was to cold in the last to take much notice but Overwater Jack got the better of Thorn Fire in the final strides.

The first joint venture with the Border association and although the HTA won four of the five trails it wasn’t plain sailing  nor was it without  more controversy as you can see from the results  two of the juniors beat the clock and confusion arose as to what action to take. The minimum time of 15 minutes is there for a reason and Sunday’s trail showed why , If the trail is run any faster than 15 minutes then something is amiss and is declared void then along comes “sods law” and the last trail was legitimate although only just. There were a couple of mitigating circumstances that pointed to a short first half but as they were out of sight therefore no action was taken.

The seniors and Endure had won them all at Oulton this season and another win looked “On the Cards ” as he came into the last field with a “nice” lead only to surrender victory in the last few yards to Arizona , who held on to a narrow win over Liz.

And similarly in the Senior Maidens Fireman Sam , running over the longer distance , found the last climb a “hill to far” and from being in front  , didn’t get a ticket, victory going to the Appleby hound Cracking Gold, ( Arsenal 2 United 0 ) from Blueboy and Border hound Eagle Priya.

The pup maidens and Restricted seem to have no problems and as I was occupied there is no report and similarly the last , although in this race the first three nearly beat the clock and Class McCara gave the Borders there only success.

Report: It is not nice to report that certain individuals, after the last trail, showed the bad side of trailing. When you slip your hounds ,That’s It! , you cannot control what they do and you have to accept their actions. The Area Committee is there to see fair play and in this instance they found there was no interference, but that isn’t enough for some and stand up shouting matches in the middle of the trail field will not be tolerated, neither will foul language, I took my daughter, grandchild and friend, who was seeing her first trail, to Corney and they were not impressed, not as much with the argument but what the argument was about,” It only turned around” said my daughter , granddad had one that used to growl if anything tried to pass it and it was still running at six .

The video of the finish will be shown after the enquiry into the incident is finished.

The trails, after a delay, got  under way and Marli , after driving every’inch’ scored by a couple of yards from the improving Persian Bay and Tommy’s Legacy not far behind in third.

The juniors, and after Wednesday’s close finish, the catchers were on their marks only to see Miterdale Shadow to win comfortably from Black Legend  who had plenty to spare over Nikita in third.

Again controversy in the next and the final trail concerning hounds ” cutting”. On open fell it is and always will be a problem, the answer , Well take Corney Fell last week, at a crucial stage of the trail the hounds were taken where the “back” hounds were unsighted from the leaders a simple yet proven solution to cutting.

Persian Sky won the maidens confirming her all-in form and Misha threw away her winning lead in the last and gave the trail to the train driver’s ,bookies wife , Clare with Cartier.
