Report. A day of close finishes only heads and necks separating the first two in all the trails. And , also over the last two meetings only 21seconds between all six short trails. And, what’ difference a day makes’ as Overwater Bessy went awol at the first meet but on Saturday she got up on the line to deprive Bedazzled with Menorah a close third.

The pups and this was a ‘battle royal’ between Buble , two times course winner and table leader Jenny’s Aura, and winning for the third time ,by a head was the Kendal hound Buble.

The maiden trail and Casanova once more prevailed this time at the expense of ‘southern raider’ Grange Music with Meadow Josie a close third.

In the restricted class Eden Rossi went one better than Tuesday when getting the better of Razzle Dazzle and Bewitched and Kerrymore swopped grades to the veterans and was a head winner over Artisan and Silver Spangle.

A question! The extra runner in the maidens, Who was it?

ONW 1 Breeze 2 Captain Jack -3 KIniside Bess 4 Spring Rose 5 Foxparke Babushka . 5 Ran Time 18.06

Report. The senior hounds right from the slip hardly faltered and was an excellent tribute to the ‘Trailhound’ . At the first road crossing all nineteen were in contention, of course they were – they had just been slipped. At the second road crossing the first six were the first six to finish and the first six over the last road. That says; that they hardly altered from start to finish only a slight change of direction on the finish might have had a bearing on the result, anyway  ” Arnie is back” and Endure got the better of Bracelet and stil finished second.

The pup trail and ‘The General’ kept up his championship challenge , by proxy of Silver dusk and Liz running towards the judge and losing ground, but, a wins a win !

Only five non winners and ( cant resist it) breezing up the hill with the help of a following wind was ‘ Breeze’ closely chased by Captain Jack ( Sparra’).

. Also Ran. Miterdale One – Glory – Out Of The Blue -Full House – Quiet Siskin – Issabella – Bant’s Mist – Foxparke Artist.

Report. For the senior trail we observed the hounds as they turned for the finish and here Jenny’s Delight led from Galemire Grace and Song Bird,. Galemire won in the end by a couple of lengths but Song Bird , having missed the gate, lost ground and Lady Anne and Capetown took third and fourth.

Only three pups , but nevertheless an intriguing contest between the table toppers and coming out on top Jenny’s Aura winning by a few lengths, justifying favouritism.

The non – winners are getting thin on the ground and one stable provided four of the seven runners, The ‘Kinnisides and after some delay and deliberation it was Nell that won not Bess,

In the final trail Littman came home unchallenged from Huntsman’s Hope who in turn was clear of the third .

Veterans 1 Artisan 2 Silver Spangle 3 Tagget 4 What Look 5 jimmy Choo 6 Cinnabar . 6 Ran time 18.18.

Report . A warm , muggy evening made it hard work for the hounds but they all coped well and there were some exciting finishes.

All but one of the seniors was in contention ( no mention which one) and up the last field three hounds battled it out , Bracelet getting the nod on the line , in front of ‘Arnie’ with a close third Endure and the fourth , fifth and sixth just behind.

in the juniors four hounds stole an early lead and Hally after doing most of the driving , took a lick, and Telstar took over, beating Silver Dusk who finished behind the judge.

No danger to Wanted ( only the sheriff) in the pup maidens, the even money favourite won by three lengths from Speed On and in the last Artisan and Silver Spangle had a ding- dong battle up the hill where the former won by half a length.

Report.   Travelling down the A 591 towards Keswick  . you look across to Latrigg top and from a fine night you observe low cloud and the liklehood of rain.

Well to start with that’s what we got , then the sun came out, then the low cloud retuned, wellies went on , wellies came off!

The trails – the senior hounds , and a surprise when Explore scooted up the hill to record a three length win over Menorah and Jenny’s Delight.

The pup trail and apparently a mix up in the Patterdale camp resulted in Jenny’s Aura not being entered and this left the door open for Buble who saw off regular rival Sweet Harmony.

In the maidens it was all change for the Langhorn camp from last week where in role reversals Casanova went from third to first and Silverbelle went from first to third.and second both times was Meadow Josie and in the final event Quiet Siskin came away from Eden Rossi to win the restricted class.

PS . On leaving the field I chucked a plum at Wendy Dawson ,” plum job Wendy”I Said , but before she could pick it up Razzle Dazzle snaffled it – the outshot being – wild shites on Sandylands courtesy of Baz’s Plum.

Get the head lad to clean it up !

Pups 1 General James 2Just Mick 3 Liz 4 Huntsman’s Loyal  11 Ran  4 finished time 19.14 Also Ran Overwater Hally – Telstar – Apollo – Cool Enough

Open Maidens 1 Foxparke Invisible 2 Foxparke Hallelujah 3 Foxparke Hurry On 4 Sugar Ray 5 Quiet Siskin 6 Black  Mist  8 Ran Time 23.,08 Also Ran There are 3 pups and 2 maidens omitted I guess they are all Foxparkes?

Report. It is A cold spot Croasdale nestled above Ennerdale Lake below the rolling hills and just for the record the two bookies who went home last week , this time they stayed and the bookie who stayed last week , went home!

Songbird completed a quick double at the expense of Jenny’s Choice and Try Time- and similarly the ‘General ‘ did the same finishing well through the open gates. the result being exactly the same first four as last week, only difference being they were six minutes quicker..

In the last and in the impending gloom – the Foxparkes shone out when taking the first three ticket,  Invisible short heading Hallelujah. Any darker then it would have been Hallelujah as the other would have been ?

At the time of writing three hounds were still missing, and if you happen to visit Egremont tomorrow , you will be sure to see ‘Ructions’ cleaning his car.

The missing hounds have been found . And as for Bill , the latest news is the farmer wants his field back, most of it was on Bill’s car.Lol.

Report.   Marli once more showed her liking for the Helton trail and after her customary look round she only just held the fast finishing Galemire Grace, this win puts her in second place in the senior championship one behind the leader.

Capetown beat a high class maiden field when she came clear of the all the way leader Jazz Band to win by ten yards, Meadow Josie back in third and the veteran Artisan in fourth.

Buble and Razzle Dazzle made it a double day for Wendy Dawson and travelling head lad Russ.

Only three runners in the non- winners and veteran Borderman failed to start, nevertheless the two runners provided the spectators with a close finish , after Spring Rose had lost ground at the road she regained momentum and nearly caught Adventure.

RIP. On Friday Hamish Rose sadly passed away- the funeral will be at Lancaster Crematorium- date to be arranged.

And the members wish a speedy recovery to Maurice Tunstall , who overtaxed himself shouting for ‘Tommy’ at  low Place.

.Also Ran. Super Sandy – Foxparke Invisible – Quiet Siskin – Foxparke Chaos – Highness – Remember Me – Langdale Jack – Miterdale One.

Report. As the day was  spent scouting ,the report has a slightly different slant.

Billy Whizz , late bred, was extremely backward, but patience and perseverance by David and Marie Crowe finally paid off –But ! they have gone on holiday and John and Diane have taken over and what’s more it was a maiden , Ah Well as David is often quoted as saying ‘ a win’s a win’ even if you spent all that time waiting patiently for Billy to finish,  then when you go away in he pops. ” Sods’ Law! By the way he might have been a shade fortunate as the first four did a lap of the field before the last road and allowed the next three to catch them up.

Standing on the last road for the senior maidens and the first bunch came through the gate, down the road to the next gate and it was likened to being attacked by the purple pack of hounds.

In the seniors Jenny’s Delight led down the fell, only to stop at the ‘railway fence’ went away fifth , got up to win only to be demoted from first place for interference to the second hound. Also running prominently and has been stuck on eight wins for too long was Thorn Dancer.

 

Dean nr Cockermouth Sat 10th Sept.

Seniors 1 Bracelet 2 Overwater Arnie 3 Westgate Belle 4 Arizona 5 Meadow Dixie 6 Kaiser Sosa. 8 Ran  Time 27.53 Also Ran. Skiddadle – Cool Return..

Open Restricted 1 Ben 10 2 Starlight 3 Carrick 4 Silver Dawn 5 Littman 6 Plan B . 10 Ran Time 17.53.

Also Ran Cancellara – Silver Spangle – Jimmy Choo- Flash Dance –

Report. A nice morning on the start of a long day and an extremely boggy field at Dean where only 29 hounds contested the four events.

In the seniors Bracelet added one more to her championship total but ‘ Arnie’ wasn’t far behind and could be on the come back trail. Six out of the eight kept each other company for most of the trail and Westgate Belle, Arizona and Meadow Dixie could all feature in the closing weeks of the season.

Les bt Graham in the pups as Liz got the better of Just Mick by a couple of lengths and in the pup maidens Stand By just headed Wanted on the line for a head victory, all the ticketing hounds were in close contention and it was noted that Geoff Shouting for Kinnisides alternated between Nell and Bess . The final trail saw Ben 10 leading them a merry dance and he won nicely from Starlight , in the betting ring I think the score was Kenny 3 Ian1.

The incoming trailer in the pup trail was puffing slightly ,perhaps the trail rag was a shade heavy. LOL. 1-1

Report. Low Place in September and we divert from the left handed trails of early spring and run right handed through the fell adjacent to the field and finish in the meadow over the wall.

Fourteen seniors for the first trail and as they descended the fell the favourite ‘Gracie was closely attended by Jenny’s Delight. Huntsman;s Jewel – Songbird onto the finish and ‘Jewel ‘ would show with a few yards lead over ‘Gracie’ with Songbird in third and Capetown in Fourth.

The pup trail developed into a two dog race, Jenny’s Aura and General James. the former came in front and held on in determined fashion by a head from the ‘General’.

Apollo,who was getting his second only ticket of the season, finished fast to deprive fourteen winner Liz out of fourth ticket.

The maidens and Blueboy was made favourite but could only finish third to Kinniside Joe who was just in front of low side raider Full  House.

In the last trail Artisan once more showed she is a step above her rivals in the veteran division with another clear cut win over, this time, What Look and Pip’s Lad.

Open Non- Winners 1 Bobby Dazzler 2 Spring Rose 3 Captain Jack 4 Adventure 5 Foxparke Babushka 6 Thorn Dollar.  6 Ran Time 20 .41

Report. We will start with the lesser lights and finally ‘Bobby’ got a win. Mike and Dot Wilding have travelled miles over the last few seasons and having the patience of Job. Well you could say their patience was rewarded when finally at the umpteenth attempt Bobby Dazzler got his head in front. Now the problem is what do we go for next? As Mike said ‘We are on a roll ‘  Look out!

The Senior trail and Pups was observed from  outside , the first seven in the seniors you could have covered with a blanket for most of the trail and the pups , here Telstar at one stage had a good lead but this was whittled away by Silver Dusk, then on the finish He had got his lead back , only to see ‘Dusk’ once more reduce the gap and go on to win by a couple of lengths , the remainder came together headed by Silver Dawn.

Report. A return to the Keswick area after a long break and a popular venue perched half way up Skiddaw behind Latrigg Fell affording views of the Keswick delta and surrounding fells, welcome to Latrigg Top.

Fourteen faced the starter for the senior hounds, being filmed for Japenese television ( I’ll let you know when its on) At halfway  one hound had a commanding lead ( a white one) but as they approached the long uphill drag to the line , Huntsman’s Jewel and Bedazzled came together closely attended by Ladybird, Jewel got up in the final strides to deny Bedazzled and Ladybird was a few yards back in third.

In the pups the favourite and championship leader Jenny’s Aura was unplaced and the spoils went to Kendal hound Buble, who finished well to beat Saturdays winner Kenmore with Overwater Hally in third and Yorkshire Lad  behind the judge for fourth.

The largest field of the evening for the maidens and Silverbelle from Lindale finished strongly to deny Meadow Josie with the remaining ticketing hounds close behind.

Open Maidens 1 Bluebond 2 Sugar Ray 3 Foxparke Invisible 4 Billy Whizz 5 Come Home Alfie . 11 Ran only 5 finished. time 28.03

Report .. A fresh venue and two fresh winners .

In the seniors Jenny’s Choice must have led for most of the trail only to be mugged by both Songbird and Sambuca in the closing stages . This was Songbird ‘s first senior success having been puppy champ in 2014. A clear book for the three bookies . No! two of them .Yes! but the third and owner of the winner, a tale of woe.

Carrying on the tale of woe, the two bookies sneaked off home and that left one  and what was the outcome, the punters who stayed on the mist shrouded field backed one only , the winner, Bluebond who held on for a head victory. It was reported to have been another ‘silent finish’. Only five of the eleven finished as the remaining six returned to the start after a minute.

The Chair was quite happy with second place and Joe looked chuffed to be in the winners enclosure.

The General keeps marching on and win number 15 came at the expense of Just Mick , Liz, And Huntsman’s Loyal, these four being well clear of the other three.

Report. A beautiful day in the Lorton Vale for the annual Loweswater Show and ,apart from the space between trails due to the pups running first, it was a pleasure to witness four excellent trails.

The pup trail run first and the Glenridding Pup Jenny’s Aura strengthened  her position at head of the table with an emphatic victory over Silver Dusk and Quiet Otter.

The pup maidens and following up Thursday’s non- winner success, ‘Popeye’

fairly legged down the final meadow to register a fine win over Summer Rose and  Kinniside Nell close up in third.

Finally the seniors and a first win of the season for Overwater Bessy who held off the challenge of Ladybird to win by a narrow margin. In the maidens ‘Kinniside Joe’ defied the pundits with this victory over Meadow Josie. according to Ian ‘ I’ll give you any price that he will win in a tight finish. The Foxparke stable came away from the meeting with seven tickets, Brian didn’t have to dance

Report Another Show and another wet day , a quiet day (ish) , and the beck on the finish had the final say in two of the trails.

In the seniors and after finishing last at Ennerdale Show on Wednesday , benefiting from a scale, Flawless finished alone today , much to the surprise of her owners who didn’t believe ‘Batty’ when told ‘she is on her own’. Then! who would believe ‘Jim Bob’.

In the pups and the ‘General ‘ came from third place , only to find he didn’t like ‘doggy paddle’ and forfeited the lead back to Kenmore and Huntsman’s Loyal, who had a great race to the line , Kenmore winning by a head.

The Maidens and a first strike for the Reid Kendal Stable   when Sparrowmire Angel came from third place to beat Grange Music and Mrs McGregor.

And in the last a surprise as Artisan failed to get a ticket , the spoils went to the easy winner Tinkerbelle who finished clear of Da Look.
