REPORT.

Is Thorn Dancer a fast finisher, will Trooper Thorn ever win, when Jim finally clips Lady what will she do, is Arizona championship material and Where’s Wallie? in front that’s where!.

That could sum up the Bitch Produce meeting at Kendal on Saturday.

The main event, and a turn of foot in the last ten meters carried the Kentmere hound  Thorn Dancer to a half a length victory over Persian Bay who had led up the long uphill finish through the gap in the wall ,courtesy of Stanley Jackson, and practically to the line.

Silver Charm just held on for third in front of Persian Sky with ‘Kracka’  and ‘Daisy’ close up.

The senior trail and ‘Arnie had the race won but a”call of nature’ at a vital stage left the way clear for Jim Batty’s Ladybird to record a popular win by a couple of yards with local Razzle Dazzle in third. Followers of this column will have noted that we have been waiting for ”Lady’ to be clipped and Jim to part with his pension in the bookies ring.

On to the maidens and I didn’t envisage saying Trooper Thorn ‘six points’. but he showed them the way home although tiring in the ‘straight’ he held on from an excellent run from ‘My Way’ with Titanium in third. Just before the hounds finished it was remarked ‘would trooper finish better as Darren was wearing a bright green shirt’ answer ‘yes!. Spare a thought for an exhausted Lady Helen who was two yards short of a ticket when she sat down and apparently she had showed in front on the ‘whistle’

The open pups and here Arizona went to the top of the Championship with a resounding victory, probably helped by a pup out of the previous trail giving him something to chase. He missed the gap but had plenty to spare over The Script and Persian Gold.

And the final race of the afternoon went to Where’s Wallie who led all the way up the finish and kept on stoutly to hold off the determined challenge of ,yet another Dearham hound, Barton with Quiet Linnet in third.

Well done to Russell and Wendy and thanks to Wendy and her helpers who manned the gate at short notice. The trailers Russ, Graham, Joe, Lee and Chris

the scouts Peter ,Donald ,John, Ian, Mike ,Lee ,Alex and Robert.

John and all the catchers ,Kirsty for the raffle, Norma for the entries and if I’ve missed somebody thanks anyway.

PS > for sale, only used once, PA system,

Sorry for the impression of Norman Collier but there was a loose wire which will be rectified because it wont fit where somebody told me to stick it.

Just another fact at the preview there was 153 runners – at the premier event 101 runners! The preview was more profitable than the main event ! Observations?
