winner stations.
23. Lion Jo
(Jo Maltby)
Entered by: Wetherby Lions
It's the second year running for Lion Jo, so
certainly a 'mane' contendor! Multi-talented this
Lion may be tweeting as well as running.
Sonny Says: Jo is a well connected Lion having a
great following via @wetherbybyhour but will that
temptation to “paws” for a selfie and a tweet mid race be too
much?
24. Lion Jacob
(Jacob Maltby)
The cub of the pride, Lion Jacob celebrating his
birthday on the big day. Watch out for this lion he
has a spring in his step.
Sonny Says: I really like this cub and fancy him to make a big
impression (and I’m not talking about his paw print!!). Back the
birthday boy, after all it will give him a good “tail” to tell for years
and years.
25. Lion Garry
(Garry Maltby)
Lion Garry is a 'sharp toothed' character, who is
ready to defend his territory at the finshing line.

organisation which fundraises for charitable

27. Lion Netty
(Antoinette Fineberg)
Our fifth lion from the local branch of Lions International
which covers Wetherby and the surrounding villages of Walton,
Thorp Arch, Boston Spa, Collingham, Clifford and Bramham.
Lion Netty is the hotest Lion of the Pride, hot with the crowd
and even hotter on her feet!
Sonny Says: For a “hot” prospect Netty looks a little “laid back” in the picture for
my liking. So will she be “hot to trot” or “back of the pack”? You decide at
Totepool predict the winner stations.
28. Lion Rob
(Rob Theweneti)
Lion Rob fancies himself as a bit of a King of the
Jungle but we'll let you decide at the finshing line.
Sonny Says: As king of the pack Rob lets the
others do the hunting and just directs. As his name
suggest he points the rest of the pack by telling
them the prey “They wenti” that way!! Does that leave him plenty
of energy in reserve for the race? Only time will tell!
29. Lion Luke
(Luke Trowser)
Lion Luke is hungry for a win! Watch him roar to
the finish line.

No “Luke”warm reception for this character, he’s
expecting a real “roar” from the crowd. Give him a cheer as he
passes the grandstand.

international charity that cares for Donkeys and
Mules in need world wide... One to keep an eye
on with 'DOUBLE THE DONKEY POWER!'

donkey power I reckon that fences could be his downfall as he’s a
bit of a “wonky donkey” but if you love an outsider the “hoof it”
down to the predict a winner station and back him.
35. Buzz Chameleon
(Handicap Guide B = 7 seconds handicap )
(Jack Williams)
Entered By: Chameleon School of Construction
ltd Buzz is handy with a Plastering Trowel but he

Sonny Says: Certainly has the “legs” to go the distance and
“hoping” the fences should be no problem but is this competitor a “Frog Eyed Sprite” that
will zoom to the finish? If you think so a pound or two at the predict a winner wouldn’t
go a miss.
38. Donut the Dog
(Jeff Goymer)
Entered by: Williscroft and Co

spending a lot of time with his coach. He won’t be
taking any passengers during the race but could

might be a bit competitive at the first fence.

he won’t “paws” till his “blood hound” nose is across that finish
line!
67. Pete The Padlock
(Simon Deakin)
West Yorkshire Police Mascots part of the 8,600 strong force of
officers and support staff that serve the West Yorkshire
Community keeping crime at bay.
Sonny Says: Pete’s part of West Yorkshire Polices Burglary team
and nobody will be making away with the valuable prize
without Pete’s say so. Known to “bolt” early the “key” to his success is if he can
“clasp” onto that early lead and “fence in” his early running. If he does, he’s a “lock”
for a prize, if not well it’s a case of “shutting the door after the horse has bolted”.
68. Ronnie the Rhino
(Mike Whiteley)
Entered By: Leeds Rhino’s
Ronnie is the official mascot of Leeds Rhino’s the
2014 Tetley Challenge Cup winners.
Sonny Says: Ronnie is a seasoned campaigner at

could this year be his year?

Sonny Says: The name says it all but is that “Oh Deer Me” he finished
nowhere or “Oh Deer Me” I should have backed him at the Totepool predict a
winner stations?
70. Syd The Pig
(Jimmy Hutson)
Entered By: Sue Ryder – Manorlands Jailbreak
Syd the Pig is running on behalf of Sue Ryder Manorlands
Jailbreak event on 26 June 2015. In this exciting event teams of
2-4 people “breakout” of Keighley Police Museums Jail and
see just how far they can go without spending any money on
travel! For further details see www.sueryder.org/jailbreak
Sonny Says: One of the “Three (not so) little pigs” entered this year. Jailbreak
sounds right for Syd, he's a “shady” character (and I don't just mean his
sunglasses!).Will he “Hogg” the limelight in the race?
71. Miss Lagenlook Bear
(Jo Parkinson)
Entered By: Lovelagenlook.co.uk
Miss Lagenlook is a bear of impeccable fashion
taste who is running for her fave online boutique
lovelagenlook.co.uk, to raise money for
Manorlands. She's normally a beary good runner
but may be a little cautious today as she doesn't
want to ruin her heels.
Sonny Says: Has great “style” over the fences but will she be
“fashionably” late to the finish?
74. Ballerina Bunny
(Sharron Seymour)
Entered By: Airedale Shopping Centre
Ballerina Bunny is looking forward to wearing her
new outfit from Next with her matching
accessories from Claires, Dorothy Perkins, New
Look and make up from Boots, Body Shop and
Superdrug. Honey may not win but she will look
100% a winner as she bounces over the finish line.
Sonny Says: Will this rabbit set the pace? Or is it all a case of
“Rabbit and Pork” (Talk).
75. Peanuts The Penguin
(Adam Seymour)
Peanuts came a respectable 3rd in 2013 in his 1st run out so wants a
podium spot again and has been using herbal remedies and
alternative medicine from Holland & Barrett and Acu & Herb to
prepare. He’s also been seen in Officers Club and M&S before
sneaking off for a well-earned Burger King and Costa Coffee.
Sonny Says: This penguin has good finishing pace he certainly won’t be huffin &
“puffin” by the end but can this ice “emperor” go a step further this year and be “king” of
the race?
76. Mrs Peanuts The Penguin
(Michelle Seymour)
Mrs Peanuts has some smooth moves picked up
from Peanuts and has been seen shopping in
Peacocks and Roman and loves the daily special at
Burger King. Mascots beware, this Penguin’s out to
win and she’s a slippery customer at the sales who
knows how to manoeuvre around tight aisles.
Sonny Says: This penguin is no waddler. So get down to the
predict a winner stations and PPP…Pick up a Penguin!
77. Goofy
(Dave Simpson)
Goofy’s first time out for Airedale Shopping Centre and he’s
not here to Goof around, he wants glory. He’s been kitted
out at Trespass and JD Sport with all the best sports and
outdoor gear. Goofy’s fun loving nature hides a mean streak
so watch out as he rips up the turf and leaps hurdles going for gold.
Sonny Says: Goofy has the full weight of Disney behind him. Having been
physically trained by Mickey Mouse and psychologically conditioned by
Donald Duck he couldn’t be more ready for the race!
78. Keigh Lee Free Trade Banana
(Handicap Guide D =21 seconds handicap)
(Liam Seymour)
Keith Lee is back this year with Mrs Lee and is keen to improve on his first
year’s finish. He may be in the bad books if he slips up so he has been in
Argos for training and gym kit and Holland & Barrett for vitamins and
supplements. Keith is yellow peril and is high on fibre so mascots “split” as
he makes desert of the competition.
Sonny Says: This “Top Banana” has been practicing on the “apples and pears” to get his strength
up. He’s in “Grape” form and expects to be blowing “raspberries” at his competition from the front.
His “current” form leads me to “cherry” pick him as a contender. Will he be “raisin” the trophy? Well
“kumquat” may he’s a “Peach” of a pick at the predict the winner station.
72. Worth Valley Events Groom
79. Mrs Keigh Lee FT Banana
(Hollie Ogden)
Entered By: Worth Valley YFC Events

73. Filbert The Squirrell
(Handicap Guide A = 0 seconds handicap)
(Steve Seymour)
Filbert’s been relaxing in the new massage chairs at the Centre to
make sure he is in tip top shape for his 5th run. He’s been shopping
in JD Sport for that sporting edge to try and get in the top 20, if he
does he will be off to Coffee Delight or Cafe Incontro to celebrate
with a quality coffee and muffin. Then off to Game, Argos and CeX
to treat himself to the latest games and bargain offers.
Sonny Says: Forget Red & Grey Squirrells, Filberts a ginger and you should never bet
against a ginger! You'd be “nuts” not to back him at the Totepool predict a winner stations.
Mrs Kee Lee is no soft fruit to be messed with and she may be
yellow on the outside but solid gold inside. If she hits the front
there may be no catching her in her running outfit from
Roman with accessories from Claire’s and shoes from Shoe
Zone. This may be her first run at Wetherby but she’s a fruit
with a goal and won’t be slipping up as she peels away from the pack.
Sonny Says: If this “banana splits” and she can “peel” away from her husband she's
likely to “skin” the competition (as long as she doesn't get “bunched” up in the
pack) that's provided there are no “slip ups” over the fences!
80. TG Tiger
(Mandy Simpson)
Newby at the centre and keen to lead the pack so look out
veteran mascots, this Tigress is going to hunt you down & She
has been out buying running shoes from Clarke’s to give her the
edge. TJ Tiger is no pussy cat and will be using her feline
powers, balance and speed to hunt down the podium.
Sonny Says: With that statement of intent and a “Tiger in the Tank” will TG be
“Top Gun” or are her chances “Goosed”? You decide at the Totepool predict a
winner station.
81. Aire Bear
(Scott Walker)
3rd time out and looking to show his form has improved
and as a leaner, meaner bear with a hunger for stag. He has
been chilling in the Airedale Shopping Centre at Game,
CeX and Airedale Opticians for some cool shades. This is a
bear with a taste for victory and will be looking to show the
other mascots what a bear’s behind looks like as he streaks to the finish.
Sonny Says: A Breath of Fresh Aire, last of the stable from Airedale
Shopping centre but could be first in the winners enclosure. Get your bets on
him at the Totepool sponsored Predict the winner mobile stations.

A sneaky old campaigner, Dickadon has brought
a team a team of supporters from the Worth

runner to tap. Will he be “seated” on “the throne”
of success or are all his grand ideas just “pulling your chain” and
he’s completely round the bend (the U-bend that is!). If your

Can Bobby make a clean get away? Hopefully
he will streak through the opposition!
Sonny Says: Usually here for the Best themed
Mascot competition rather than the race
podium but when the going gets turf, the turf
gets going so worth a punt at the Totepool sponsored betting
stations.
98. Paddy Pail
(Connor Bracken)
This Irish runner is sure to be in top form. As Jack

and no broken crowns.

but when the going gets turf, the turf gets going so worth a punt
at the Totepool sponsored betting stations.

(Laura Moore)
Entered by: Water Aid/Kelda Water
Water Aid works with local partners to create
locally owned, long lasting water solutions across

Sonny Says: Lets hope this is a “running tap” and
not a “stop tap”. May struggle to clear the fences
in which case it could be an “early bath” tap but if your “dripping”
in cash you could do worse than to put a pound or two on the
water aid tap.

Entered by: Schofield Sweeney and Foresters

Entered by: BPEX supported by

used for the annual Hunter Trials then visit www.mountupformanorlands.org.uk .
Sonny Says: Quick off the “blocks” and a good “technical” runner he expects to “LEGO”
of the shackles in this race. There’s a “window” of opportunity and the “door” could be
open for a good result but he “tyres” easily so I wouldn’t put your “house” on him.
