Beulah Racing
On Saturday evening the large crowd attending Beulah show stayed on to watch the trotting at the close of the day. It was a glorious evening for enjoying the competitive racing, with the uphill finish ensuring plenty of excitement as each horse’s stamina was tested to the full.
The nursery rewarded the patient Stephen Williams from Shrewsbury on his homebred Knights Templar as they came home in front of Krak de Chevalier (Greenway Michaelchurch Eskley) and Hilltop Mildred (Eggerton Norton Canon).
The backmarker Precious Cargo (Gwatkin Evenjobb) with Jacob Webb in the seat took the first Novice heat ahead of Dolan Hasty (Parker Huntington) while Tyssul Pearl (Barton Clunderwen) was third. In the second Novice heat another of the trailing horses, Dragon Penlan (Barton Clunderwen) driven by Aled Davies was victorious, with Chinatown Lucky (Williams Pencader) in second and Brywins Sweetheart (Woolcock Ammanford) in third.
Brywins Ducklyn (Gething Gilwern) driven this week by young driver Mark Evans, in the absence of her usual pilot, finished in front of last week’s heroine Too Hot Today (Jones Merthyr) with Miss Jackpot (Langford Ammanford) in third. The same team scored a back to back double when The Bold Jack (Gething Gilwern) took the second Grade B heat from Ithon Ghost (Wilson Llanfihangel ar arth) and Kickstart (Williams Brecon).
In the first Grade A heat Meadowland Hasty (Price Brecon) with trainer Derek Pritchard on board won from Scoobies Dream (Lloyd Kington) with Chaps Commander (Jones Talgarreg) in third. The veteran Merrington Man (Thomas Rhymney) steered by Mark Evans from Brecon took the second heat from Strike Light (Lloyd Kington) while Blackfield Buddy (Barton Clunderwen) was third.
Danny Blue is a homebred from the Peters stable at Upper Longwood, and he has been brought on slowly and this week he had his first win with long standing devotee, John Peters at the controls, in second was Jake Lobell (White Porthcawl) while Big Harry (Duggan Llangunllo) was third.
Dolan Hasty belonging to David (Pops) Parker from Huntington stayed on up the final straight in the Novice final driven by Derek Pritchard to hold off grandson Jake’s challenge on Precious Cargo (Gwatkin Evenjobb) while last week’s winner Goldness (Evans Llanwrtyd) had to be content with third.
An impromptu saddle race provided six runners, with victory going to Brywins Jo Jo (Jones Ammanford) in the capable hands of Bridget Lewis, with Jake Webb claiming another second this time on Bon Hasty (Collingwood Huntington) while Ithon Gypsy (Jones Llanbister) was third.
The little chestnut mare Too Hot Today, belonging to Gareth (Gadger) Jones from Merthyr is on fire lately and provided a scintillating late run to clinch victory for leading driver Derek Pritchard with Miss Jackpot (Langford Ammanford) who is returning to form, in second, while Brywins Ducklyn (Gething Gilwern) was third.
In the Grade A final Mathew Herlihy had the choice of two drives, from the Lloyd & Herlihy training stable at Kington, so Shane Eggerton from Norton Canon took the drive on the iconic Scooby’s Dream (Lloyd Kington) and they delivered a popular win in front of Blackfield Buddy (Barton Clunderwen) while Mathew Herlihy brought Strike a Light (Lloyd Kington) home in third.
Next weekend racing returns to Almeley on Saturday September 20th starting at 1.30pm when the top class Bookies’ Free For All will be the feature race, and this will be the last penalty meeting of the 2014 season.
