Report. Better late than never – Pat Black and Willie Mark -just for you .

We will start with the non- winners and considering I was rounding up sheep, it might not be exact ,- Apparently a fox crossed the trail just in front of the hounds and consequently the first three , preferring Reynard to aniseed, took that option. Yorkshire Lad, Jazz Lyric and Stand By were clear at the time and this left the door open for – wait for it- Summer Rose, a genuinely overdue success and for Craig especially who was on holiday at the time ( no wonder it won ).

One wag reported that a new Foxhound Pack had been created and that the new Prime Minister had repealed the hunting act. ‘Twit’!

The senior trail and an exceptional race.  Galemire Grace led for most of the trail but had to come from behind to get the better of litter brother Endure , his brother Overwater Arnie was back in third  and his sister Marli in Fifth.

Jenny’s Aura was a comfortable winner of the pups and in the all-in it was silent night as Jazz Band sent them all asleep, Highness and Flawless were third and fourth , they were supposed to be in the seniors but nobody told Nick that the trails were at 6.15.
