Almeley Racing

Jump Straight to Results

Almeley is one of the most popular of all the grass tracks of Mid Wales & Border harness racing. On Saturday the perfect weather enhanced a brilliant afternoon of racing, with the usual heats replaced by straight races which provided added interest to the proceedings.

Krak de Chevalier the homebred youngster belonging to the Greenway family from Michaelchurch Eskley has put in some consistently good runs over the last few weeks and so it was no surprise when they won the Nursery ahead of Dernol Cherie (Wozencraft Llangurig) and first time out Lakeside Glory (Jones Brecon).

The Grade B was a straight race with top honours going to the homebred Miss Jackpot (Langford Ammanford) as usual piloted by daughter Melanie, in second was Dragon Penlan (Barton Clunderwen) with Habberley Haste (Lloyd New Radnor) in third.

The first Grade A race was won by the inspiring Ithon Inmate (Price Brecon) in the hands of his trainer Derek Pritchard, with the grey Scooby’s Dream (Lloyd Kington) in second while Blackfield Buddy (Barton Clunderwen) was third. In the second Grade A race it was the previous winner’s stablemate Meadowland Hasty (Price Brecon) that provided a back to back double for Derek Pritchard while Bon Jasper (Jones Llanllwni) and Strike a Light (Lloyd Kington\) took the minor places.

In the first Novice race Jake Webb picked up a spare drive as C U Choteau’s (Thomas Llanbister) usual driver is away in Australia, they immediately gelled and came home in front Beacons Sorcerer (Bevan Llanddewi) with Sable Sam (Moorhouse, Llanidloes) in third. Ithon Gift (Bird Ludlow) also had a new driver this week as Melanie Langford took the reins to win from Dolan Hasty (Parker Clyro) and Hyar temptation (Thomas Tregroes) who shared second prize, in the second Novice race.

In the first Baby Novice Jake Lobell (White Porthcawl) reversed last week’s results by beating Danny Blue (Peters Upper Longwood) into second while Big Harry (Duggan Llangunllo) claimed another third place. Hendre Yankee the lightly raced gelding belonging to the Woolcock family from Ammanford and partnered by his trainer Dave Marr was first passed the post in the second Baby Novice race ahead of Fitch (Harries Merthyr) with Tyssul Pennylane (Broome Ludlow) in third.

Four juniors took up their positions in their race with the spoils going to Blackfield Buddy (Barton Clunderwen) with granddaughter Anna Lewis on board in second was Bon Hasty (Collingwood Huntington) with Ellie Tromans, Beacon Sorcerer (Bevan Llanddewi) with Ellie Bevan while returning from injury Josie Duggan on Big Harry (Duggan Llangunllo) was fourth.

Eight runners in the saddle produced a spectacular race with Novice Precious Cargo (Gwatkin Evenjobb) partnered by aspiring jockey Jake Webb taking the victory from last week’s winner Brywins Jo Jo (Jones Ammanford) with Ithon Ghost (Wilson Llanfihangel ar arth) in third.

The dash with a full compliment of nine runners is another popular race, with the verdict going to Brywins Ducklyn (Gething Gilwern) driven by Mark Evans, beating Brywins Sweetheart (Marr Ammanford) and Kickstart (Williams Brecon).

The final race of the day was the much anticipated Bookmaker’s Free For All, which was won by Ithon Inmate (Price Brecon) this incredible horse who is just returning to his early season form, in the hands as usual of leading driver Derek Pritchard, in second was the ever popular Chaps Commander (Jones Talgarreg) while stablemate Meadowland Hasty (Price Brecon) was third.

Next week is the season’s final showpiece, the charity meeting where winning is all about glory not about cash, again at Almeley on Saturday September 27th first race at 1.30 pm.
