                   Harness Racing in the Heart of Wales

 

 

GO RACING, GO HARNESS RACING!

Harness Racing has a long an established tradition in mid-Wales, by now the county of Ceredigion plays hosts to the richest and most prestigious harness race meetings in the UK.  During the summer months hundreds of horses and thousands of spectators from Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales make their way to some of most beautifully situated race tracks in the UK.  The tracks are all half-mile grass tracks, ensuring that as a spectator you are never far from the action.  Witnessing these magnificent racehorses at close proximity, with about 10-12 races on the card, there is plenty of entertainment for the whole day.  A fun day out for everybody, don’t be left out, do something different … GO RACING, GO HARNESS RACING!

THE 2011 CEREDROTIAN

HARNESS RACING DATES 

 

TREGARON TROTTING CLUB

The season kicks off with the Spring Meeting in Tregaron, an opportunity to see last years top 3 year old horses returning to set their mark in the 4 year old Senior Welsh Dragon; experienced campaigners do battle in the Spring Handicap heats and Final (an early season test of fitness).  This will also be an early season opportunity to see the best of the best fight it out in the season’s opening Free For All. 

 

CEREDIGION TROTTING CLUB

There will have been plenty of racing throughout the country in May and June and so by July expect to see over 300 horses and their connections descend on the seaside town of Aberystywth for Ceredigion Trotting Club’s “Weekend of harness racing not to be missed!”

CTC have ensured that 2012 will once again be a racing packed 3 day meeting The 3 day meeting will host their prestigious heats & Finals and highly competitive 3 year old races. Plenty of  racing of the highest calibre for everyone.

 

TAN Y  CASTELL HARNESS RACING CLUB

By the first week of August we return again to Aberystwyth for the Tan Y Castell  meeting.  A smaller more relaxed meeting but no less competitive.  A full race card of 15 or so races which culminates with the ‘Coron y Castell’ Final.  But before the final be sure not to miss the Clwb Cardigan Bay Members Race, a race that is becoming increasingly popular were winning is important not the taking part! 

 

TREGARON TROTTING CLUB

As the bank holiday weekend approaches, then all roads lead to Tregaron for the 3 day August Festival of Harness Racing.  The 3 days are action packed with feature races on each day including the 2 yo Junior Welsh Dragon and the 3 year old Little Welsh Dragon; The Electric Mile Free For All for the countries fastest and richest performers and the 3 Handicap heats & finals – The Cors Caron Cup, The Strata Florida and the absolute jewel in the crown ‘The Welsh Classic Final’.  Live TV coverage on S4C’s RASUS programme.

 

LAMPETER HARNESS RACING CLUB

After the hustle and bustle of August, the first Saturday in September is an opportunity to enjoy a day out in the Aeron Valley at Lampeter Races at Talsarn.  A new successful meeting,  which hosts competitive racing once again in a beautiful setting.  As the season draws to a close owners/trainers are keen to ensure that they get a few more wins under their belts, so be prepared for some very close finishes.  The last final of the season in the county and the last opportunity for those Cardigan Bay Members do lay their claim on the Members race.
