Tregaron Racing
The Tregaron meeting on the first Saturday of August is a lovely local affair reflecting the long tradition of trotting in Wales. There was good racing and a friendly atmosphere of support.
In the nursery race the ever improving Hyar Friction claimed first prize for farmer’s wife Janet Thomas from Tregroes while the fun team of Kamakaze and owner Bill Hughes from cwmbach was second and Samarai (Tromans, Newcastle Emlyn) was third.
Two Novice heats followed with the first providing a convincing win for Beg for Mercy driven by owner Mathew Tromans from Newcastle Emlyn with Meadowland Olympic (Jones, Llanllwni) in second and the fast finishing Afanbells Princess (Jones, Cribyn) just behind in third. In the second heat The Chancer driven by Debbie Hitchcock part owner along with the Jones family from Llanllwni swept up the home straight to win from Turn the Paige (Miles, Merthyr) while Ithon Legacy (Hardwick, Llanbister) was third.
In a very close finish in the first heat of the Grade B it was Enter the Dragon (Langford, Onibury) who stuck his head out to claim victory from Penybont hero Makemeamillionayr (Weigel, Llanddewi Velfrey) with the in-form Immortal Breeze (Williams, Llanafan) in third. In the second B heat Made in Wales (Hawkes, Wigmore) driven by Ollie Preece snatched the win from Ayr Ontario (Weigel, Llanddewi Velfrey) while Cool Ice (Gething, Ewyas Harold) was third.
In the first Grade A heat Habberley Playboy (Gittins & John, Shrewsbury) with trainer Mathew Tromans at the controls ran a superb race to beat the ever popular veteran Scoobys Dream (Williams-Pugh, Brecon) while the Ceredigion favourity Lakeside Pan (Elder, New Quay) finished third. Woodstone Jingo (Meaney & Harries, Merthyr) ran another cracking race in the hands of Andrew Hardwick to take the second A heat from the fast finishing Saunders Mach 3 (Bevan, Llanddewi) while Rhyds Design (Weigel, Llanddewi Velfrey) were third.
In the Baby Novice race the well travelled Hilltop Recon belonging to the Lloyd family from New Radnor and driven by his trainer Andrew Hardwick from Brecon came home just in front of the homebred Hyar Truly (Thomas, Tregroes) while Morning Breeze (Jones, Brecon) was third.
The three finals completed the day’s racing. In the Novice final in a blanket finish the win went to Afanbells Princess (Jones, Cribyn) driven by returning driver Jason Williams from long time leader Turn the Paige (Miles, Merthyr) while The Chancer (Hitchcock & Jones, Haverfordwest) was only yards behind in third.
In the Grade B final Enter the Dragon (Langford, Onibury) repeated his heat win as usual driven by owner Mel Langford while only inches behind was Immortal Breeze (Williams, Llanafan) closely followed by Ayr Ontario (Weigel, Llanddewi Velfrey).
The grade A Final provided the finale for the day when Woodstone Jingo (Meaney & Harris, Merthyr) ran another superb race to claim a decisive victory for driver Andrew Hardwick giving him three wins on the day, in second was Saunders Mach 3 (Bevan, Llanddewi) with the old favourite Scoobys Dream (Williams-Pugh, Brecon) in third.
So with the close of a good week for trotting, next weekend is the Talsarn meeting on Saturday August 11th starting at 1.30pm.
