Comments:  A lovely sunny afternoon and the action kicked off with Jenny’s Rascal earning her 11th win so far by fifty yards in the senior trail. The three year old showed further back n the fell with the lead and pulled clear in the closing stages to beat Artisan and the favourite Canny Girl.

In the puppy trail there were seven hounds with chances as they made the turn for home and it was Huntsman’s Jenny that led them down the trod and round the last corner onto the finish. However they were closely packed in behind and there was a three way photo on the line between Tan Ted, Marli and Endure as the three litter mates crossed almost in unison but consultation with the camera revealed that Graham Reids Tan Ted had triumphed by a head.

There was another good race in the puppy maidens and it was Carol & George’s Mr Ant that got the verdict by a length ahead of My Way and Barton who had led for much of the way.

Two Tone registered his second open restricted win of the week following Tuesdays victory at Calebreak. The three year old pulled nicely clear along with Believe and Highness was clear for third place.

Venue: Corney Fell

Comments: Windy on top of the fell but at least it stayed dry and there was a very good turn out. In the senior trail a good duel developed between Try Again and Huntsman’s Hope and the former got the upper hand on the run to the line to win by about five yards and Capetown filled the other principle place.

There was a great race between the first four maidens and it was the Dawsons Razzle Dazzle that earned the winning ticket when just eating Another Bay and Titanium who had led in off the fell. The winners kennel ate Mrs McGregor was fourth.

Another good finish in the puppy trail and the Kentmere hound Thorn Fire followed up some good runs of late when coming through from third place on the whistles to deny JLS and Dawn by a couple of lengths.

The most popular winner of the day came in the open non winners when Barbara, Corey & Martin’s Wheres Wallie led throughout and ran on strongly to lead home Foxparke Boogie and Rock on Reggie. This ended a frustrating sequence of seventh places for the young hound and his connections were completely delighted with their first ever visit to the winners enclosure. Well done all hope its the first of many!

Last but not least the veterans and a kennel 1-2 for Denis Peare and Jackie Gill with Cinnabar and Valhalla. The first named won by a couple of lengths and Foxparke Hmeward Bound was close up in third place.

Comments: Blustery at Bridekirk. First up the seniors and they were led off the first half by Crusader. Dropping down from the top of Tallentire Hill and there were four hounds together. Coming into sight jumping the final fence Try Again had a thirty yard advantage but he was caught and passed on the long undulating finish by both Aspire and Silver Spangle and Reg Smith’s charge went on to record her fourth success by a few yards.

There was a tremendous finale in the puppy trail between the first four hounds. The lead changed hands several times coming along the finish with Barton, Endure and Tan Ted all making promising runs but it was Neil Brown’s Sambuca that hit the front just before the line and she moved onto the seven win mark beating Endure and Tan Ted.

In the open restricted the Johnstone’s Wispa came with a good late run to deny the favourite Cracking Thorpe with Baron back in third.
