Boxing Day H'cap

So the prizes stayed in the Collins household. After Finlay's consecutive wins in 2012 and 2013, this year it was the youngest of the clan, Madeline, who took the honours with a blistering run along the cycle path from the Hydro stables to Glentress. Amazingly, despite being severely chopped by the handicapper, big bro Fins chased her home, albeit over half a minute adrift. He seems to reserve his best for these Boxing Day runs. Must be super-charged by the turkey dinner the day before. But no-one was catching Mads ,who really "blossomed" on the day to take the 1st prize of a much sought-after Moorfoot drinks bottle complete with the customary celebratory fizz (sparkling Vimto!). Finlay seemed delighted with his runners-up prize of a can of hot dog sausages. Bobby Mooney took the adults' prize of the hottest chilli oil in the world. Expect some fiery toilet moments in the Mooney household over the next few days. Special mention to young Hoodie who get no sympathy from the handicapper despite this being his first run back since a bad hamstring pull and also to young Holly Hobbs who had to slow down to keep company with an elderly jogger who had clearly over-indulged on the grown-ups' grape juice the day before.
