Talsarn Racing

Jump Straight to Results

At the last of the Ceredigion meetings for this season Talsarn enjoyed a good day’s racing although the weather was variable, but it did nothing to detract from the afternoon’s entertainment.

There were two nursery races this week with the experienced horses coming to the front. In the first Janet Thomas from Tregroes driving her homebred Hyar Friction was first from Kamakazi (Hughes, Cwmbach) while Fold Take Flight (Miles Merthyr) was third. Oakwood Rocket (Layton, Brecon) was an easy winner in the second nursery from Talavary Zodiac (Thomas & Staples, Merthyr) with Cool Runner (Lloyd, Kingswood) in third.

In the first Novice heat Lady Lisleen for the Jones/Harris partnership from Merthyr claimed another victory under the guidance of Mark Evans from Brecon in second was The Chancer (Hitchcock & Jones, Haverfordwest) while Talavary Activator showed a good turn of foot for owner Martin Roberts from Dinmore. Turn the Paige with Janet Thomas driving for the Miles family from Merthyr took the second Novice heat from Howdya Likemenow (Perks, Presteigne) while Beg for Mercy (Tromans, Newcastle Emlyn) was third.

In the first heat of the Grade B it was the long time leader Ayr Ontario driven by Louisa Barton for the Weigel family from Llanddewi Velfrey, in second was the fast finishing Cool Ice (Gething, Ewyas Harold) while Made in Wales (Hawkes, Wigmore) was third. Lakeview Meg driven this week by her owner Linda Atherton Rees from Narberth won the second Grade B heat from long time leader The Bold Jack driven by his young owner Jonny James from Dorstone while Enter the Dragon (Harrison, Onibury) ran on well to be third.

Lakeside Pan the local favourite belonging to veteran supporter John Elder of New Quay and driven by his son Wayne took the first grade A heat from Habberley Playboy (Johns & Gittins, Shrewsbury) while the front running Camden Callen (Langford, Ystradgynlais) was third. In the second A heat Ayr Hero (Bevan, Llanddewi) driven by Mel Langford who just got the verdict in a close finish from Chinatown Kolt (Jones, Llanllwni) while Second Affair (Morgan, Rhymney) was third.

In the first Baby Novice race Luminite (Atherton Rees, Narberth) and driven by Mathew Tromans from Newcastle Emlyn was first passed the post with the sometimes erratic Ithon J R (James, Dorstone) in second while Hilltop Recon (Lloyd New Radnor) was third. Dannys Gift (Perks, Presteigne) with Mark Evans in the seat led from the start to claim victory in the second Baby Novice race from Morning Breeze (Jones, Brecon) closely followed by Hyar Truly (Thomas, Tregroes).

Fronfelin Duchess (Hawkes, Wigmore) driven by Ollie Preece won the dash from Ayr Fella (Lloyd, Painscastle) and Rhyds Design (Weigel, Llanddewi Velfrey). In the saddle Hurricane Howard (Duggan, Llangullo) ridden by Mel Langford won from Habberley Haste (Lloyd New Radnor) and Brywins lucky Charm (Edwards, Pontsian).

The three finals completed the day’s racing with the Novice providing a blanket finish which needed the camera to award The Chancer (Hithccock & Jones, Haverfordwest) driven as usual by trainer Debbie Hitchcock, in second was Beg For Mercy (Tromans, Newcastle Emlyn) while Turn the Paige (Miles, Merthyr) was third. The grade B final saw Lakeview Meg driven by owner Linda Atherton Rees from Narberth repeat her heat win in front of the closing Made in Wales (Hawkes, Wigmore) and Enter the Dragon (Harrison, Onibury). The Grade A final provided a fitting finale to the day as the talented Chinatown Kolt (Jones, Llanllwni) driven by trainer Debbie Hitchcock swept up the home straight to victory in front of Secret Affair (Morgan, Rhymney) while Ayr Hero (Bevan, Llanddewi) stuck his head out to claim third. One of the season’s highlights has been the setting up of the Lewis Lewis championship in memory of one of the ‘Cardi’ stalwarts of racing. It was for the horse or horses who had accumulated the most points in the four Ceredigion meetings, there were three winners who share the prize: Beg For Mercy (Tromans, Newcastle Emlyn); Cool Ice (Gething, Ewyas Harold) and Ayr Hero (Bevan, Llanddewi).

So next weekend we return to Powys with the re-arranged Newbridge meeting which for this year will be held at the Cilmeri track near Builth on Saturday 18th August starting at 1.30pm.
