Report. A pleasant afternoon  for the first of the seasons trails on the Fell Side at Fellside , just up the road from Hesket New Market or down the road from Uldale depending on which way you come !

The senior trail was nearly as short as the pups or was the pups nearly as long as the seniors. A view from outside saw Marli driving from a close up Galemire and Jazz Band. On the long downhill trod towards the uphill finish  Marli was always in front and as I stopped on the trail field along with many others we hadn’t a clue what had won and by how much? Somebody said ‘ Wendy’s Smiling ‘ . We knew then that Marli had held off  the challenge of Galemire Grace.

The pup trail saw only six face the starter and were out what seemed like ages and when they showed all six were in ‘with a shout’. To the shout of ‘ Hilda’ !Buble , a bitch, named after Michael Buble, notched up win number four , not bad for a hound which was badly injured and ‘wouldn’t run again’.

The last two trails were well bunched finishes- Layla came away in the closing stages and Meadow Dixie headed Razzle Dazzle on the line.

Report:  The senior trail and once more Bob ( Endure ) did ‘most of the work ‘ only to be denied on the the punishing finish by both Bracelet and Sambuca, the former winning by a head and in doing so goes to second in the senior championship.

The maiden trail was pretty similar to the seniors where the hound that drove all the way , Sugar Ray, dropped back on the finish, only to see Meadow Dixie and Foxparke Yabadabbadoo slow down in the final yards enabling Sugar Ray to regain the lead and win,  landing a substantial bet for the owner.

Liz had a comfortable win in the juniors and ‘ Wishy’ aka Brian Atkinson, had an overdue success , when Wanted just held on from a fast finishing Cool Enough in the puppy maidens.

Report. We’ve had all types of weather on Cold Fell this season, but in general we’ve been able to see, until last night when visibility was down to 30 yards and without the aid of Joe 90 the senior trailers were in the ‘lap of the Gods’.

The visibility didn’t improve until the pups slipped and they were 20 minutes late consequently the last trail finished in the impending gloom.

The hounds run the short trails well and only 20 seconds between the three of them. Buble made it three from three winning comfortably and kennel mate Razzle Dazzle made it a Dawson double with a short head victory in the last meanwhile in the maidens Aspire popped up for Geoff Rowand , who walked off the line with a ‘shake of the head’ . I don’t think it was expected but it has been getting nearer and it likes ‘mist and rain it transpires.

Report.  A quiet evening at Ward Hall, only 31 runners in the four trails, starting with the seniors where the even money joint favourite Arizona came from fourth to win readily from the other favourite Bracelet with the other three close up and the sixth not far adrift.

The pup trail – Silver Dusk and Telstar went clear on the long uphill finish, the ticketing hounds ran wide and lost ground headed by Accolade.

Black Mist made the journey from Tebay worthwhile when she held off the late challenge of Sunset Ridge ( 5 pts) and making a similar journey , Artisan, won the veterans from Silver Spangle and Tagget.

Two winners from the Westmorland area and three if you count the owners.

Report. Two hounds that chose to miss the premier trails both notched another championship win last night, both Marli and Jenny’s Aura won comfortably, the former was chased home by Lady Bethan and Jazz Band whilst Aura had Overwater Hally for company but she confirmed her superiority coming away in the closing stages.  Simarlarly in the last Canny Girl gave favourite backers no problems as she romped home to make it a 6/1 treble.

Report. Where do we start-  first the rule regarding Sweet Harmony.

The hounds are deemed to be under starters orders when all the runners have been marked. As the hounds had not been all marked Sweet Harmony was declared a non- runner.

As far as Boston is concerned it was not qualified to run and therefore was disqualified and receives a 28 day ban.

In the senior trail there was disquiet about hounds cutting, it is and always will be a problem but to condemn a hound over 2 mile away ‘ on the glasses’ on past performances is purely guesswork.

And take into consideration the senior trail was slower than the maidens although perhaps the first three maidens home are of a higher standard than maiden class. Having said that it doesn’t take any shine off the victory of Jenny’s Delight who came from behind to beat  kennelmate Huntsman’s Jewel. These two were well clear of the third , the rest of the field was well strung out, which gave the indication that something was amiss.

As previously noted the senior maidens comprising of the prolific driver Jazz Band and the two Westgates and in fourth Capetown, ‘Belle’ won 9 senior trails in 2013 and 8 in 2014 Capetown 19 puppy trails, The two Westgates together with Jazz Band finished well clear and justified their support in the ‘market’.

Only ten pups faced the starter , notable absentees being the first two in the championship, this didn’t take the shine of an easy victory for Eclipse over Just Mick with Buble a 100 yards back in third .And all participants received prize money.

The puppy maidens and a welcome win for the Mark family , that includes Mother who’s presence was the reason Summer Rose won ( according to her ) She ran on well helped by Sweet Harmony in front ( see above) with Kenmore in second and Jazz lyric, who again ran towards the catchers throwing away a winning chance, in third.

The last trail of an eventful afternoon provided the best finish of the day and consolation for George and Carol, after the disqualification of Mr Dec in the maidens, when Mr Ant held off the challenge of Razzle Dazzle and cracking On.

To sum up- The person who compared the day to a circus- I hear they are short of a clown- from now on I shall refer to you as ‘ Charlie Caroli’.

And thanks to John Crone for the ‘flak jacket’ after being harangued from Cleator via Flimby as far as Millom, anybody fancy the job?

And for those who think the owner of Boston should have a 28 day ban well! I will be changing its name to New York New York next season – that’s four goes at them all. So good they named it twice!!!!!

Report. firstly the distances- seniors one length

juniors ten lengths

maidens  head.

A slightly different report, one from outside as seen in running.

The senior hounds came into view above Applethwaite Common and at first it seemed to be a two dog race but as they weaved their way down towards the only road crossing another three hounds sighting the two in front soon joined them. As they crossed the road Overwater Bessy was in front of the Patterdale four and it transpired that she was ‘caught short’ on the finish and a unique first four for Denise,Jenny, Denis plus kennel hand Alan with the two Jenny’s beating the two Huntsman’s.

The pups and Jenny’s Aura cut out most of the work with ‘Hally, the General and ‘Alfie’ always in attendance. Yorkshire Lad aka ‘Alfie’ made a mess of a gate that shouldn’t have been jumped and consequently lost all chance, in the meantime Hally had gone to the front but the difficult part of the trail was to come. What happened ,no idea, only that Jenny’s notched another win over chief rival General James.

In the last there was fourteen hounds within 30 yards of each other crossing the road ,there would have been 15 if Alfie hadn’t done a circle of the field prior to the road, no reason just a sight seeing trip before coming home. Now some of these hounds jumped the gate correction they didn’t jump it they demolished it. And in what is not an easy trail perhaps  it suited the veterans as three of them ticketed.

Report. Once more it was Cold Fell , not the trail but the weather, Cold ,wet, windy we’ve had it all this season and a bit of low cloud as well.

In the seniors it wasn’t surprising that the trail was around five minutes longer than usual. But that doesn’t dismiss a win for ‘ Arnie’ who showed on the finish with ten yards lead and kept up the pace to the line with Lady Anne in second and an interesting third in Kinniside Joe.

The pup trail and another win for ‘Hilda’ aka Buble who finished so fast the man with the video missed it. Manna was first, correction second,

The visibility was getting worse and a Westgate won was it Rose or was it Belle perhaps little weed knows ! It was Rose , Belle was second , Silverbelle that is and Aspire third.

In the last the 4/1 shot Jenny’s Rose won by ten yards from Mr Ant

Report. As you have probable realised by looking at the all in runners that there was a problem with the juniors, as it was 6 runners came back after three minutes and of those who went 7 hounds had a good lead. They included the prolific General James who won easily from Eclipse.

The night started fine and ended up with visibility down to 50 yards. At the first road in the seniors Endure was already well behind but at the second crossing of the same road Debra and Dawn had a good lead with the rest closely bunched.

The reason ,and it was all to clear, as the hounds went up the Ward Hall finish, only to stop and turn, wondering whether it was Bridekirk or Ward Hall, well if they used their noses they would have known it was the ‘Moor’ and that applied to a number of them on the finish as they bore left.

In the end Bracelet got the race from the close up Dawn and the ticketing hounds also in close proximity.

That leaves the open maidens and the even money jolly had a race on her hands pressed on all sides including two old timers in Taggert and Da Look, but she held on for a win.

And the all in run in thick mist was won by Capetown  from another veteran Artisan.

Report  93 runners in the first of the seasons meet at Calebreck , ( follow the sign from Hesket if you can find it) .

Watching the seniors, after ten minutes, as they climbed the fell away from the Fellside trail field- not one deviation , a splendid sight and what led- Marli and Capetown. Onto the downhill finish and the favourite Marli never broke stride and won handily from Lady Bethan and Overwater Arnie.

In the pups the first three were clear and another step up the championship table for Jenny’s Aura with win number 15 .

The open maidens and Mrs McGregor gave her supporters a fright when she practically stopped on the line and turned , but she had enough in hand to beat Cracking Mover and the only pup in the tickets , Yorkshire Lad ,in third.

The final event and Canny Girl looked to be a certain winner but she couldn’t contend with the finishing speed of Eden Rossi ,who got up on the line to win with Razzle Dazzle ten yards back in third.

Report. On a fine day with not a chicken, goat ,home produce etc in sight.

We were treated to five excellent trails marred only by the winner in the puppy maidens receiving a card for interference and subsequently being disqualified or scopped out ( Alan’s description).

The senior trail and Endure ,after leading for practically every yard, was touched off in the final strides by Bracelet with the improving Persian Bay a close third.

The senior maidens and ‘Belle’ beat’ Rose’   The Westgates  were joint favourites and as  they came onto the long finish together, the owner was surprised when the slower finisher won ( Sue was surprised  Sarah wasn’t) Siddadle aka Pussy Galore (007) was third.

In the pups three had a nice lead and the favourite Liz put distance between them racing away to win easily from Silver Dusk and Just Mick.

The pup maidens were well bunched and after Dan’s Lad disqualification the trail went to Accolade from Breeze and Wanted ( d or a)

And finally the 4/1 on shot Artisan won very easily in the Veterans and the title looks to be ‘ in the bag’.

Report. Well what can you say , the mist comes down and with a bit of luck you find your way , unfortunately in this case it wasn’t to be and the two trailers who thought they were heading towards Ambleside were in fact heading towards Grasmere,, it one of those things , it isn’t the first time nor will it be the last!. But ! according to one or two they should have known were they were going obviously they have never walked on a fell with there eyes shut.

The three short trails went without a hitch and the large entry in the last trail was  due to the mist.

In the Golden sovereign puppy trail , General James from Cleator Moor, the second favourite , fairly romped down the finish to a cheer that was heard in Ambleside, and in the process landed some hefty wagers. In second place some 30 yards adrift was Overwater Hally and a similar distance behind was the favourite Jenny’ s Aura.

The puppy maidens and another West Cumbrian raider Foxparke Fandando held off Ronnie’s Rascal in a bunched finish with only yards covering the first seven.

And in the restricted trail emerging out of the gloom ( not NIck but Flawless) who with Highness completed a 1-2 for the Troutbeck kennel this put a shine on what has been a lean season for the Wilsons and the biggest smile was Tia’s.

Report . The disappointment in the senior trail was the early demise of Prudence, who was picked up having been stopped by a herd of cattle and in the last trail the winner received a yellow card for interference ,which was ‘over the line’ so High Style kept the trail.

Issabella came home with a handy lead over Bracelet and liz and Quiet Otter had their own race in the juniors , the former winning by five yards.
