Report. After ten minutes , Aspire was driving but the proverbial blanket would have covered the field onto the long ,slightly downhill finish and here the long odds on favourite Prudence had taken the lead and she won comfortably from Aspire, Spangle,and Sambuca who were close together.

In the pups the odds on favourite Arizona could only manage third behind the runaway winner Persian Sky and second Silver Charm. The winner won by ten meters and a similar distance between second and third.

Only five runners in the last and Neil Brown elected to shout for Izzy who beat Quiet Linnet by five meters. Acacia finished a tired fifth and after crossing the line ,stopped rolled on her back and with legs akimbo peed into the air which caused much mirth and prompted the odd ribald comment. What was said? No Comment!

Report;  The weather nippy and windy on the hill ,warm and pleasant on the show field- who would be a weather forecaster!

At halfway in the seniors and leading the way were ‘Arnie’ and ‘Grace’ just in front of a group of four, incidentally these were the first six over the line.

As you are aware the finish for the show trail is at the end of the trod whereas the ‘leaps ‘ finish goes to the end of the showfield. This has a marked effect on the results as the trod tends to be ‘first in wins’ and ‘Arnie’was in the trod first .

So to confound that theory Thorn Dancer led in the pups and Daisy Dream somehow passed her , and then upholding the situation ‘Dancer ‘then had to settle for second after running into ‘Daisy ‘ just before the line. Persian Prince and Bluebond had a similar battle for third and fourth . That was her twelfth  win of the season and now three wins separate the first four in the championship.

The biggest field of the day ,32 open maidens and the saying ‘ the bigger the field the bigger the certainty’ well,- priced at a prohibitive 2/1 on -Bedazzled lived up to her name winning comfortably from the rest ,who finished in a line led by High Stile.

Just ten runners in the final event and JLS took the honours with an easy win from ‘ Bessy’  these two were  clear of the third Howgill Blondie.

Seniors 1 Marli 2 Tan Ted 3 Lady Bethan 4 Night Vision 5 Little Messy 6 Washington. 10 Ran Time 28.35.

Report.  Viewing wasn’t at its best but it was good enough  to spot Marli ,in front ,on the long downhill finish. And dare I say she seems to be getting the ‘hang’ of this finishing, fore she kept coming and the improving finisher ‘Tan Ted’ couldn’t make any inroads to her lead and last times winner Lady Bethan was ten meters back in third,

Persian Gold came in front and missing was last times winner and favourite Lone Rebel, well. I say missing but he had overshot the trail and came in at different angle, finishing fourth behind Persian Gold , ‘Rossi’ And the singer ‘Paloma Faith’.

It was rather ‘murky’ for the last and much to Russell’s dismay Razzle Dazzle ,after a neck and neck race with Carrick prevailed by a length  with kennel mate Mrs Mac in third. This win completed ‘Razzles’ quota for the season ,hence the grimace, Wendy, well, she had a smile like a ‘Chesire Cat’

Report: A pleasant evening in the Kentmere valley for four bookie less trails nevertheless the ‘crack’ was still there, the pies came via Wigton in the back of a red ‘bus’ and 49 runners took part.

In the seniors and at halfway ‘Choice and ‘Rascal’ had a good lead but as they came onto the long meadow finish they had been joined by the two Huntsmans

It was a Patterdale 1-2-3-4 as’Choice’ maintained a two length lead to beat kennelmate ‘Rascal”. with ‘Jenny’ and ‘Jewel’ third and fourth.

Thorn Dancer was a bit behind after 3 mins running  where Jazz Band was  driving and he also came in front closely attended by ‘Dancer’ only to run straight on and give Marlou and Jenny’s a ‘shout’. Marlou led up the finish but ‘Dancer’ asserted in the final fifty yards to win by five lengths Jazz Band was a close third.

In the non winners Meadow Josie,making the long journey from Carlisle, finally showed some of her pre season promise when she held on for a length victory over Eden Rocco and third was McCoy .

Onto the last and at least we could see them!  Up to  now Stanley and Carol had two that  had finished last., would it come in ‘threes’? Not if Colleen had anything to do with it. As they came onto the finish the first group all ran straight on and after ;’righting’ themselves they were joined by another group making ten hounds with a winning chance. Colleen emerged from the ‘pack’ to notch a length victory from Doll and Casa nova

Report: A fine afternoon after a damp start for the Jimmy and Pat Glaister’s memorial trails at Mirkholme ,a special thanks to the Irving family for their donation of a bag of dog food for the two maiden winners

And a reminder to those complainers about the trails especially the last obstacle. Every attempt was made to ensure the trails were trouble free and unfortunately some obstacles ,by their very nature, provide a challenge and the last fence is no exception. Some get it right some don’t- apart from removing it or providing ‘steps’ I’m afraid  it’s there to jump and as the saying goes ‘that’s hound trailing’.

The senior trail and at halfway it was ‘Arnie ‘ and ‘Grace’  driving. Onto the long downhill finish and downhill it is -Huntsman’s Jenny had a ‘yard or two’ but she soon gave way to Endure in front of Galemire Grace ,who had a tumble and that left Arnie and Endure to fight out the finish . Endure over jumped the last fence and landed steeply giving ground away and ‘Arnie’ took full advantage getting up in the final ten yards to win by a length.

The senior maidens and once more the ‘last’ had its say in the outcome as My Way made a spectacular leap and completely ‘turned turtle” handing the race to Foxparke Yabbadabbadoo { under scored in red} who beat kennel mate FP Hurry On and I’m glad to say My Way recovering to finish third.

The winner was spelt three different  ways on the bookies boards and I’m not surprised.

The puppy trail and after five minutes running the notable  absentees from the race were Thorn Dancer and Persian Sky. Up front on the finish ,well they kept chopping and changing and then they scaled to their left ,-all but Lone Rebel who stuck to the trail and won easily . Artist ran on for second and apparently was in front when they scaled. ( So I was informed)

The puppy maidens and ‘guess what’ the notorious last had a hand in the outcome once more as both Cracking On and Eden Rossi lost ground. Billy Bowe was left with a good lead and though not the fastest of finishers had plenty in hand. The afore mentioned finished a respectable second and third.

That brings us to the final trail and a one ‘horse race’ .The only danger to ‘Messy’ was herself as she looked around for company on the run in but, as she couldn’t see any, straightened herself up and collected first ticket. Razzle Dazzle finished second for ‘I can manage on my own ‘ Russell  Dawson (Wendy is in Ireland)

A good afternoon’s sport and to end the day a question was asked ‘ who ate the chocolate out of the raffle prize?  I bet Jimmy is having a quiet chuckle to himself when it was revealed ‘who dun it’

Report. Once again a fine start but a dismal end weatherwise and for the second time this week the last trail was finishing in ‘half light’.

In the seniors Huntsman’s Jenny came with  a ‘few yards’ but on the slightly uphill finish Lady Bethan ,challenged and went away to win , Endure finished third ,in touch and not far behind.

The pups and at least half a dozen were in with a chance and eventually it was the Kendal hound Venus who headed Sliver Charm on the line with ‘Daisy’ right behind in third .Championship contenders Huntsman’s Kraka and Persian Bay were unplaced.

In the non – winners Dairy Thunder led but was passed in the final 50 meters by Les Tyson’s Lady Anne , and getting a ticket was  five year old Borderman, a testament to patience and perseverance for Helen and Geoff.

On to the last and another Restricted trail with a silent finish, or perhaps in the light the owners Couldn’t see them, any way Thorn Dolly won by a length from Tinkerbelle. Whether ‘Dolly’ was jinxed or not when you slip them you have no control ‘ if it’s going to win it will ‘.( see blog)

Report:  No hassle with the SP”s as the only bookie bet without three of the four winners. The seniors and it looks like they had made an early mistake, for at the first road, one or two fancied hounds were well behind, here Two Tone led .On the long downhill finish and here Marli had a nice lead until she stopped and turned around giving the advantage to Quiet Linnet, then she straightened herself and fairly flew the last 100 meters to win comfortably, ‘Linnet’ was second in front of Little Messi.

The junior trail and as the night worsened ,mist covered half of the finish.

Out of the gloom and it was Menorah in front of Bewitched both hounds ran wide and Persian Sky took full advantage and came away to win by 10 meters from a bunched ticketing hounds.

Cracking Mover showed a nice ‘turn of foot’ to win the maidens and once more it was a bunched field for the tickets and as the night got darker  it didn’t effect Trent (in joke)but  it didn’t help the camera man as the hounds were in the last field and we were still looking up the fell. Thorn Girl had every chance but settled for second place and  the rest finished two by two.

Report; Wasdale valley on a beautiful Monday evening, breathless scenery ,blue sky and dark forbidding fells and the mountain rescue helicopter and a bloke with a parachute.

The senior trail and only five runners when they crossed the road a blanket could have covered four of them only ‘Ranger’ was out of touch but it wasn’t long before he was in front and the further they went his lead increased.  He won by the proverbial’mile’ chased home by  Miterdale Proper.

The puppy trail and a chance for Daisy Dream to get back on the winning trail but she was thwarted by the all the way success of Dairy Lightning . I say all the way  but at one stage he was passed by two herdwicks, obviously more sure footed in the rough terrain.

In the last and here we had a trail dominated by two kennels ,the Steeles and the Napiers  .Miterdale  Prim won by a 100 metres with four Foxparkes finishing close together then another Miterdale  There were that many purple hounds in the last that Caroline was roped in as slipper and catcher , she drove home with purple hands.

Report: Into the Rusland valley for the annual Rusland Show and a warm day interspersed by the odd shower.

First up ,the seniors and at half way Jenny’s Rascal or Huntsman’s ? ( watch the video) led from Lady Bethan but on the long,undulating finish it was Jenny’s Choice who showed in front of ‘Bethan’, just before the line ‘Choice’ veered slightly giving ‘Bethan’ a winning chance but she failed by a neck .

Only six runners in the pups and not long ,after a tardy start, into the trail , Jenny’s Delight the favourite returned and that left the race at the mercy of Marlou and she duly obliged winning by a huge margin. I know there were only six runners but it was Donna and Richard’s first ticket with Vesta .

The largest field of the day was for the maidens and once again testing the’ rookie’ judge was Casanova and Tinkerbelle ,the former winning by a neck in a thrilling finish.  This was a one/ two for the Langhorns  By the way the Rookie Judge was the ex- chairman having a rare day off.

In the final race Kerrymore got the better of JLS in neck and neck tussle throughout the last field ,she finally prevailed by a dog length. Once again there were only seven runners but it was Silverbelle’s first ticket for Allison and Martin.

Report: The senior trail and I don’t think that the first three ever altered ,  the kennel mates Endure and Endeavour driving with ‘Ted’ waiting to pounce and pounce he did – taking up the running in the last ten meters and holding off Endure by a head, Endeavour remained in third. It might be pointed out that five out of the six were all bred out of Dignity ( So Ken said !!).

The junior trail and Daisy Dream is long overdue a win and she looked to have done so but in the last few strides Bracelet ,herself recovering from injury,stuck her neck out for  victory..

Sundance in the open maidens won and in doing so lost his non-winners status,he had a tussle with ‘Force’ all the way up the finish but pulled away in the final strides .

And for Geoff and Barbara Jones Starlight ‘s a  victory in the last was an overdue event ,, even though it was a ‘quiet’ finish. Kerrymore was making ground and with Littman in third these three were well clear of the rest.

Report. 53 runners at Dearham and two kennels provided 20 of them and out of those 13 got tickets.,all seven local hounds were placed including two firsts and a one two was recorded for the Foxparkes in the restricted.

In the seniors only five runners and it looked a formality for Prudence. She had the lead at most road crossings and it was a surprise to see her on the  finish with three hound in front but she soon got her lead back and won by ten meters from Silver Spangle.

The junior trail and this was an exciting finish between Silver Charm, Persian Bay, and Santino, a spectacular leap at the last gutter helped ‘charm’ to a length win over the other two who were neck and neck to the line- that was Persian Bay’s  fourteenth second place! (if only).

In the Open Maidens , Barton finally got a reward for consistency with a handy victory over two Foxparkes and in the last two foxparkes again ,this was the restricted trail but it was two veterans that showed them the way home. Quiet Linnet apparently made a mess of the ‘gutter which put paid to her chances and then it was ‘Blackbird’s’ opportunity to win but’ Homebound Bound’ ‘did’ her in the final strides.

Foxparke Blackbird, as she is now called, is  having a resurgence in her career after returning from Ireland. You may recall that she had four seconds to Enoch over the Dearham trail in 2009 and coincidentally finished the season with fourteen seconds.
