Report. Back to Bridekirk for their traditional bank holiday meet and as you would expect the senior trail would be exactly the same time as Thursday’s trail, well you would be wrong, it was one second slower. Thorn Dancer , who finished eighth on Thursday , won in great style getting the better of Quiet linnet on the undulating finish, she had been prominent throughout  the trail. finishing third was Washington who was tailed off on Thursday followed by Try Again.

Times , can you trust them, well on Thursday  the non winners were 21,21,today  the pup maidens were  21.25 and the restricted trail on Thursday was 17.48 today it was  17.55, times compared but did the hounds?. Lady Ann tailed off on Thursday finished second to Discard in the senior maidens,, Discard , who missed most of last season ( no transport) and winner of four senior trails in 2014 and well supported in the market won for Terry ( no photos please) McVeigh.

The junior trail and unplaced on Thursday Liz revelled in the hot weather and after a ding-dong battle with Eclipse, also unplaced on Thursday, was a length winner , Margaret Rose was third and the favourite General James only fifth.

The final two trails went to the Dearham kennel of Joe Abrahams and Nicola McMaster with Silver Dusk and Santino both hounds were well backed . Dusk beating a bunched field and Santino got the better of Dairy Lighning in the final strides.’ lightning’ whoes owner Steve Riley won the best dressed award.

Just a point – the cars were all parked together , not split as they were on Thursday- making it more like one trail meeting instead of two, the right move !
