We’re in the money is probably the thoughts of our winners of this year’s Skinner’s Grand Prix at the Chatsworth Country Fair on 5 September 2015.The competition is limited to Grade 3 – 7 Large dogs with two jumping rounds to test the dog’s speed and accuracy. Taking the combined results of the first two rounds gave us the top five dogs who go forward to a money final Jumping round, under the watchful eye of Championship Agility judge Nick Robson. There were lots of clear rounds but the double clears proved very elusive. Running in reverse order in front of a large crowd, our top five were led off by last years finalist Mandi Marks with Snowball on Ice, followed by Rob Morely with Whitefield Chloe, Alyshia Hindle with Jaycote Calista, Richard Brookman Paddy Brookers and finally 2014 winner Gemma Miles with Flash of Devil Red. Running first, Mandi decided do or die and today Snowball was just a bit too enthusiastic and a great OOOhhh from the crowd confirmed Nick Robson’s decision to eliminate. Running second, Whitefield Chloe gave us a cracking clear round and held the lead till last years winner, Gemma Miles came to the start line with the last dog to run in this years competition. Nothing certain till the fat lady sings. Flash Of Devil Red delivered a fractionally better time than our 2015 winner but with five faults fell into 4th place.
Very many thanks to Skinner’s for continuing the support of this competition. First published 6 October 2015 |
