Mid Wales Harness Racing Results 10 May
On a damp blustery day it was the racing rather than the weather which kept the crowd warm at the all-weather Tairgwaith track near Ammanford.
The first nursery gave new owner Zac Lewis from Welshpool his first win with Blackfield Billie this inspiring confidence for the coming season, in second was BG’s Star (Wilson Llanfihangel ar arth) while Hafod Tyson and Jason Munro from Bridgend was third. Brywins Crispduck and Aled Davies from Llanybydder took first prize in the second nursery race beating Self Pozest (Hussey Merthyr) and Hilltop Surprise (Tromans Newcastle Emlyn).
The Novice was a straight race and it was Greenhill Ani driven by trainer Andrew Hardwick for the Williams family from Brecon who claimed victory from new horse Jango Fett (Hitchcock Haverfordwest) with backmarker Greenhill Emily (Morgan Rhymney) in third.
Kickstart (Williams Brecon) went one better than last week in the Grade B to register his first win of the season, with last week’s victor Vyrnwy Taffie (Evans Llanybydder) was second and Too Hot Today (Jones Merthyr) clocked up another third.
The first heat of the Grade A saw new recruit No Mercy (Weigel Llanddewi Velfrey) repeat his last week’s heat win with the iconic Scoobies Dream (Lloyd Kington) in second and Bon Jasper (Jones Llanllwni) in third. In the second Grade A heat last week’s victor My Immortal (Evans Brecon) took control to beat Chaps Commander (Jones Talgarreg) and American Gigolo (Elder Blaencelyn).
Two Baby Novice races followed, in the first Arctic Prince steered by Jacob Webb for owner John Gwatkin from Evenjobb led over the line from Jake Lobell (White Porthcawl) and Nadal (Atherton-Rees, Narberth). In the second backmarker Hyar Temptation with owner Janet Thomas from Tregroes at the controls claimed the win so elevating her home-bred horse to the Novice section. In second was Habberley Playboy (Pritchard Rhosgoch) on his first run in the Babies with Goldness (Evans Llanwrtyd) in third.
The Grade A Final produced another showdown of the top horses with No Mercy driven by Louisa Barton for her parents the Weigel family from Llanddewi Velfrey coming first from American Gigolo (Elder Blaencelyn) with Scoobies Dream (Lloyd Kington) running on into third.
The final race of the day was the consolation this was won by the experienced Mel Langford Ammanford on her home-bred Novice Miss Jackpot with Tyssul Pearl (Barton Clunderwen) in second with stablemate Dragon Penlan (Barton Clunderwen) in third.
So next week is the beginning of the grass season as the Knighton fixture heralds the traditional race meetings moving from venue to venue throughout the season. Knighton races is on Saturday May 17th with a 1.30pm start.
