The Welsh Dragon Series

The WELSH DRAGON SERIES has developed from the 3 year old grass championship race previously run at Tregaron.  The 3yo grass championship was one of the highlights of the meeting for the past few years.  However in an attempt to create something new and different the 3 yo grass championship was succeeded by a 3 year old stakes race with a completely new format and became ‘The Little Welsh Dragon’.

 

The first DDRAIG FACH GYMREIG/LITTLE WELSH DRAGON (for 3 year olds) was run in 2004,  since then it has developed into a series of races for colts/geldings and fillies:

    THE JUNIOR WELSH DRAGON for 2yo colts & geldings at the Treagron  August Festival  Meeting

    THE JUNIOR WELSH DRAGONESS for 2yo fillies at the  Treagron  August Festival  Meeting

THE LITTLE WELSH DRAGON for 3yo colts & geldings at the Treagron  August Festival  Meeting

    THE LITTLE WELSH DRAGONESS for 3yo fillies at the Treagron  August Festival  Meeting

    THE SENIOR WELSH DRAGON for 4yo colts, geldings and fillies at the Tregaorn May Spring Meeting

    NEW THE HOME DRAGON for 4yo cots, geldings and fillies eligible for Senior Dragon in same ownership as when nominated as foal, Treagron  August Festival  Meeting
