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.
