Alensmore Racing
After the cancellation of Newbridge races Mid Wales & Border Counties Harness racing ran a fixture at the superb Allensmore track on Saturday. The conditions were perfect and a wonderful afternoon’s racing was enjoyed by the enthusiastic public.
Two Nursery races started the afternoon, with Bets All Off (Sergent, Howey) securing a win in the first, this qualifying him into ‘proper’ racing, while Krakatoa (Knox, Pandy) gave valuable experience to his new driver by winning the second Nursery.
The first races for the punters were the Novice heats, in the first, ex steeplechase jockey Wayne Knox from Pandy with his impressive horse The Chancer ran on to win from the well respected Ook whos coming (Evans, Brecon) while the impressive Cool Ice (Gething, Ewyas Harold) was third. The stablemate Rhyds Panalulah (Gething, Ewyas Harold) has run exceptionally well during the last few weeks and again took top honours in the second Novice heat with his trainer Derek Pritchard at the controls, in second the consistent Lanehouse Patch (Thomas, Merthyr) while Danny Blue (Peters, Longwood) ran well in third.
The Grade B was a straight race this week with Made in Wales who has recently changed hands, now in the Hawkes of Llanddewi stable taking the race under the guidance of Mathew Tromans, in second with another impressive run was Chinatown Samuel (Moorhouse, Llandinam) while Brywins Jo Jo (Jones, Ammanford) was third.
In the first Grade A heat the diminutive Rebus (Thomas, Rhymney) driven as usual by Mark Evans was first passed the post ahead of the grey Ayr Hero (Bevan Llanddewi) while another grey Krakatoa (Knox, Pandy) was third. Habberley Playboy (Gittins/Johns, Shrewsbury) ran a great race in the second A heat to win, from the people’s favourite grey Scoobys Dream (Williams, Brecon) while the improving Meadowland Hasty (Price, Brecon) was third.
Beg for Mercy is a lovely little mare who is quietly enhancing her reputation, winning her first Baby Novice as usual driven by owner Mathew Tromans from Newcastle Emlyn, in second was another well fancied horse Garth Vader (Williams, Brecon) while newly promoted Bets All Off (Sergent, Howey) was third. In the second Baby Novice it was C U Maggie (Bevan, Llanddewi) another mare enjoying her first win, with Mel Langford in the seat who came home in front of Hilltop Recon (Lloyd, New Radnor) while the improving Afanbellsprincess (Jones, Cribyn) came third.
In the Novice final it was the winner of the first heat, The Chancer (Knox, Pandy) who romped home ahead of the fast finishing Rhyds Panalulah (Gething, Ewyas Harold) while Lanehouse Patch (Thomas, Merthyr) notched up another third.
Five horses lined up for the Junior race which included the return from injury of Izzy John from Llangunllo who partnered Nia Patrol kindly loaned by the Miles family from Merthyr. The winner was the hard pulling Wellfield Wally with Rachel Bevan-Thomas on board just coming home in front of the young Jets Girl (Langford, Onibury) and Ceri Bevan, while in third was Jess Samuel from Newchurch driving the family’s Camden Lock.
The grade A final completed the afternoon’s racing in which little Rebus (Thomas, Rhymney) driven by Mark Evans stormed up the home straight to claim the win from the ever popular twelve year old Scoobys Dream (Williams, Brecon) while Habberley Playboy (Gittins & Johns, Shrewsbury) had to settle for third.
Next week’s racing is on Bank Holiday Monday August 28th when the Llandrindod committee stage their fixture at the Penybont track starting at 1.30 pm.
