Ffos Las and Yarmouth

the most interesting feature of British racing today is the first flat meeting ever to be held at the new Welsh racecourse at Ffos Las. The track opened a month ago with a N.H. meeting, which was a great success, and they are expecting today´s flat start to go equally well. Unlike the ill-fated Great Leighs (whose future remains very uncertain) the officials at Ffos Las have prepared the ground properly, and today´s card, though fairly low-key, has runners from several top stables. The best race is the fillies handicap over 10 furlongs at 17.00 CET, whch should go to John Gosden´s lightly-raced Charity Belle (Jimmy Fortune), fourth in a listed race last time. The very consistent Onemix (Barry and Michael Hills) looks the main danger, as it seems doubtful that Classic Legend (Brian Meehan/ Shane Kelly), the only 4yo in the field, can concede weight to these promising 3yo´s. Barry and Michael Hills can also take the very first flat race to be run here, a 2yo maiden at 15.30, w ith Our Dream Queen, who looks to have only Going French (Roger Curtis/ Tony Culhane) to beat. The Yarmouth card consists entirely of class 5 and 6 races, but several of the top jockeys will be in action here. Most interesting event is the 11 furlongs handicap for 3yo´s at 16.15 with 16 runners. This is wide open and our short list includes top-weight Alicante (Sir Mark Prescott/ Seb Sanders), Venture Capitalist (Luca Cumani/ Ryan Moore) and Halfway House (Michael Bell/ Jamie Spencer).
