Report. On a spring day in October the 2016 season came to an end. Well!  the day started spring like but by the end it was autumnal , colder and hazy. And it was a day for favourites , all five , and one Champion, one runner -up and three HTA points winners.

In the seniors ,the video of the hounds crossing the last road has Meadow Josie in third place, the only one of the first six to finish ‘ out of order’ and the reason  the hound was bowled over by an exuberant collie in the penultimate field and consequently lost all chance.

Jazz Band won the maidens in a ‘hack canter’ and got a half – hearted cheer when he walked over the line, he could afford to walk as he was ‘a mile’ clear of second place Maybe. Just a mention for John (keep trying) Hoggy if it hadn’t been for the gate  ‘Skiddadle ‘ would have been second. maybe?.

The other three trails ran to form and in the words of ‘ a bookie’ -‘ Veterans , I’m tired of the name ;’ Artisan ‘ I’m not surprised that was her thirteenth veterans win.

That’s it for the trailing reports for this season but there will be a report on the annual general meetings of the seven areas and occasional notes on the close season activities.

Report. The 2016 season is coming to the close and it isn’t going out on a whimper but a bang – in more ways than one. I don’t if its the time of the year but that’s the second time in the last three years that I’ve pranged the car in the last week of the season.

The senior trail and the restricted trail had that end of season look only eight hounds partaking but  nevertheless two close finishes especially the last where Artisan had to ‘dig deep’ to fend off Westgate Belle.

In the pups Liz confirmed runner-up position in the junior championship and it was all change in the maidens as Meadow Josie unplaced on Thursday won from Wanted and Stand Up third , just doing yours truly out of his place bet.

Report.  Overwater Arnie had to win the last three championship trails to tie with Bracelet , it was a tall order and He fell at the first hurdle when Bracelet came from behind Endure to win and seal the 2016 senior championship, Arnie was a game fourth and only in the final stretches did he lose ground to the leading pair.

The puppy trail and it wasn’t the winner or the second that was the talking point , it was the unfortunate unplaced General James, as most of you are aware the ” General ” has been placed in all his trails since the season commenced, a feat unparalleled  in trailing history , and with only three meetings left , he, for some unknown reason, was ‘ tailed off’ at the first road crossing and couldn’t make up the lost ground.  To finish seventh of seven must be a bitter blow , but still it is a wonderful achievement and will be recorded in the history of trailing firsts ( nearly)

Onto the maidens and ‘ would you believe it’ it was won by one of the few non winners that are left, Foxparke Peggy Sue , who  led the ‘ purple army’ interspersed by Bant’s Mist and another one was sixth . ‘ Babushka’, whose trainer was heard to say ‘ I’ll beat Sugar Ray tonight ‘  reply was –

‘No chance’!

“If  it does then he’s for sale ”

– anybody want a pet !

Report. Bracelet is ,in golfing terms, lying dormy, three up with three to play. At Millstone this afternoon she had to pull out all the stops to get the better of Tuesday’s maiden winner – Cracking gold- who led onto the finish but in the end got beat by a length with Arnie finishing strongly in third and six others in close contention.

In the pups General James and Silver Dusk were vying for the lead but out of sight ‘Dusk’ lost ground and the ‘General’ was left to win easily, liz  was second and the silver kennelmates were third and fourth.

In the final event three hounds had a nice lead at halfway and they finished that way – Cracking On winning comfortably from Artisan and Starlight.

Thanks go to Norma and Caroline for stepping in at the final moment with refreshments as Ronnie parted company with the ‘snack van’ at Buttermere.

I commented on Saturday as to what happened to the tea van and apparently the tea van was okay the car was okay but the bit joining the two together wasn’t.  Mars bars but no tow bar!

The anonymous person ( last Tuesday’s report) who said “look out Bracelet ” was damn near right.

Report. The penultimate weekend of the season , a nice day , a good crowd , good trails what more could you ask for ?. A cup of tea but what happened to the tea van ?

The senior trail and last Thursday the report said ” where does “Roo” go in the marsh before the finish well! after today , who cares! she found her way through and kept on well to beat Menorah, the puzzle of the trail was – “Where was “Bessy ” going- after taking up the lead approaching the finish she turned uphill and climbed putting herself out of the race and her supporters as well.

On to the maidens and the majority of the runners were in with a chance at one stage or another. On the finish and Mickledore turned left after jumping the final obstacle leaving the race for kennelmate Out Of The Blue who also benefitted from Persian Prince’s reluctance to finish. An early wedding present for Liz and Tom.

The pup trail and Jenny’s Aura signed off with a bang winning easily and crowned puppy champion for 2016 with 34 wins.

The pup maidens and from a non- winner Captain Jack has now won two in a week. He beat Foxparke Rosie Lee and Miterdale Steel in a good race and still has one more opportunity on the final day of the season.

And the last trail resulted in the easiest win of the day as Songbird minus lynn won as she pleased from the next three which could have been a veterans trail, Kerrymore ,Artisan ( 6 year old and her first Buttermere trail) and Silver Spangle.

Report. Bracelet scored win number eighteen  to take her two clear in the senior championship at Seaton tonight . She won by ten yards from her old rival Endure who passed Try Again for second place, representing the Overwater kennel was “Bessy ” but she was in last place after making a few mistakes which proved costly in the end .

The pup trail developed into a three hound race and the three regulars Liz, General James and Silver Dusk finished in that order.

Only four non winners of which three were Foxparkes but the winner was the odd one out Captain Jack , there wasn’t much in the four of them, and that concludes the non-winners for 2016 and the one with the most points is Spring Rose.

Report. Bracelet showed in front ran on stoutly and put “Arnie” to the sword and goes one up in the senior championship. That was the senior trail at Millstone Moor , the first of four in the last fortnight of the season. Endure ran his usual” always in the first three” race, pipped this time on the line for second.

The senior maidens and ,as you were, as Saturday, the same first four in the same order, you don’t need a crystal ball, not only the same order at the finish but the same as Saturday for most of the trail,. It was only 26 secs slower than the seniors , and in the words of “anonymous” look out Bracelet on Monday.

The pup trail and Liz looked to have taken the initiative on the uphill climb, only to veer off with Just Mick and hand the race to Silver Dusk, who at the time was still in front and might have won anyway.

The puppy maidens and Speed On secured the HTA puppy maidens points winner with a win over Summer Rose and as the senior maidens it was a case of finish second on Saturday, move up one on Tuesday.

Report. On the final day of the Whitehaven area it was fitting that the senior trail went to a local kennel , that of Ken Routledge  together with joint owner Ian Hunter of Galemire veterinary and not forgetting Cath Logan , ever present slipper and catcher.  This two length win took her onto eleven for the season and joint third in the championship.

Jenny’s Aura had an easy victory in the pup trail ahead of Miterdale Copper, coming back after an enforced rest.

In the non- winners Miterdale Steel, a late bred pup, making only his fifth appearance, came tantalising close to winning but he swerved towards the Judge and was pipped on the line by Spring Rose.

Ladybird won the last in front of the “well supported” Casanova.

Report. Bracelet drew level at the top of the senior championship when she strode away from Endure to take win number 16 , the first of four meetings at Millstone Moor . Her challenger for the title Overwater Arnie was back in fifth place but that was his first run over the course and things could change next Tuesday. Also running an excellent race in third was Meadow Josie.

In the senior maidens once more leading them a merry dance was Jazz Band no worse for his Wednesday afternoons ” hunting with the pack ” adventure. He showed in front but Cracking Gold took up the running and came away on the uphill finish ,. Persian Prince got up on the line for second with Jazz Band in third .

The pup trail and a two hound finish with the favourite Silver Dusk coming clear of General James , Just Mick ( no others ) in third .

In the last just about all the puppy maidens left competed and Accolade,finishing rather well for an October maiden , won going away from Speed On and Breeze.

Report. Buttermere for the second time in a week , this time there was no Arnie but Bessy but it was Jenny that took the honours. She ground out a workmanlike performance in front of Thorn Dancer who’s connections are still trying to fathom out where she goes to in the marsh before the finish.

Perhaps the answer will appear in 2017 when the programme ” Park Life”  is aired on More 4 . It will be interesting to see what the drone filmed,. Is it the future , priced at around ten to twelve thousand on the road ,” no probs we will have two ” lol.

Jenny’s Aura notched up another win at the expense of Just Mick and Kenmore and popping up out of the gloom in the last was Menorah to complete a successful evening for Christine and Eric.

We are now entering the final straight of the 2016 season and the senior championship is still “up for grabs”. Can we predict the winner;  on paper- 4 trails at Millstone Moor where Arnie hasn’t run in the last two seasons , but Bracelet has won, Bower House where Arnie has won and then there is Seaton where this season Bracelet was fourth and Arnie was fifth. Perhaps the answer could be “Arnies”  kennel mate Overwater Bessy dual winner at Millstone Moor last season.

Report. Helton had a typical back – end look to it. But Enduring the change in the weather was BOB aka Endure winning for the second time this week holding off the challenge of Lady Anne with “Gracie “a close third.

The Hunt was out and apparently clashed with the maidens , this is not the first time and perhaps a change of date is needed. It didn’t seem to hinder Hunter’s Dale , despite the name , and he got the better of brother Cracking Gold to take first prize by half a length.

The final two events went to favourites with Buble and Razzle Dazzle.. Buble ,had a nip and tuck race with Sweet Harmony , just holding on by a neck with Misha in third. And Razzle Dazzle passed Artisan ” just short ” of the line to give the Dawsons a daytime double. That’s Wendy and travelling head lad Russel !
