Report . When the trail reaches the maximum time allowed the timekeeper shall declare the trail void , immaterial of how far they have got  to run . The government scheme allowing land to return to nature provided a stern task f or the hounds  and is depicted in the overall  times of the trails.,  Easily rectified cut across the middle of the reservoir. LOL.

The seniors and a tight finish between  ” Nimrod and Persian Bay, the water jump , an expanse of water that appears in the rainy season just short of the tape played a part in the result  ,,a clean jump wins the race..

And then there was “Brook” aka “Knob ‘ed  !!. he jumped it and then stopped to shake himself dry, he shook himself over the line , a nose in front of Sultan.

Only five pups and three of them were non – winners, it was just over the 25 minute mark when Huntsman and Jenny’s crossed the line, unfortunate but ——-.

No such problem in the non -winners , with an extra 5 minutes to spare, Muse and Galway finished well clear of the rest  and a family cheer for the veteran  Spring  dazzler after Huntsman’s jenny had relinquished a good lead and only managed to finish fourth
