Report.

We will start with the open maidens and the result.

The Judge’s original decision was made without the aid of the camera because the remote control ,which controls the frame by frame appliance had been misplaced.

It was found and on reviewing the finish it was decided to hold the decision until it could be viewed on a larger screen. When this decision was made everybody had left the field . In compliance with the rules; the Judge has five minutes in which he declares his intention to look at the camera at the end of the trail and to review his decision.

On a fresh evening eleven hounds went to post for the seniors and Meadow Dixie was made favourite but after being prominent early she finished a long last and was reported lame. The finish was fought out between two hounds that have a reputation for being runners-up. Well one of them had to win and it was Graham ( Cerci) Reid’s Tan Ted that got the better of Keystone.

In the pups the in form Persian Bay  won easily, after the last obstacle put paid to Silver Charms chances, Artist ran on for second and ‘Charm’  recovered to finish fifth.

Blueboy’ shortheaded’  Barton  in the maidens these two were comfortably in front of High Stile with the ticketing hounds close up.
