Ffos Las Race Results
Ffos Las in Carmarthenshire, West Wales was the first new jumping track to be built in the UK for 80 years when it opened in 2009. From 2011 to 2024 it staged the prestigious Welsh Champion Hurdle, which returned to Chepstow in 2025, and its spring staying handicap chase was run as the West Wales National until 2025. There is also some competitive flat racing and the popular Christmas Party Race day in mid-December.
GG will provide detailed Ffos Las race results as soon as the jockeys have weighed in. We also list all of yesterday’s results and you can see the complete finishing order and SP returns by clicking on each race title.
Racecourse Guide
Ffos Las is the UK’s newest racecourse to stage jump racing and has been something of a success story. A flat, fairly galloping left-handed course of around a mile and a half, it also hosts flat racing fixtures so is kept busy throughout the year.
There is a long home straight of around half a mile so there are rarely valid excuses for beaten horses on the flat. Ffos Las has a chute for five and six furlong races. There is a short run-in after the last for jumps races and the fences are generally considered fair. The going at Ffos Las can get very testing which puts the emphasis firmly on stamina.
For many years the biggest race of the season at Ffos Las was the Welsh Champion Hurdle, run in October. The race was originally staged at Chepstow and was originally a level weights contest but a decline in field sizes eventually led to it being changed to a handicap.
The race was moved to Ffos Las in 2011 and enjoyed something of a revival there. The 2018 race was won by Silver Streak, trained by Welsh Trainer Evan Williams. The grey went on to finish third to Espoir D’Allen in the 2019 Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. The Welsh Champion Hurdle returned to Chepstow in October 2025 as part of the three-day Welsh Racing Festival.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Ffos Las boasts an exceptional range of hospitality packages. The race day restaurants provide a stylish dining experience with top quality cuisine and outstanding views overlooking the racecourse. The eight private suites and boxes can be reserved with access to all public areas and accommodation from 15 to 60 racegoers. There are also marquee hospitality packages for selected race days.
The 197 bus between Llanelli and Carmarthen runs Monday to Saturday and stops in Trimsaran, the village where the racecourse is located. A shuttle bus is available on race days between Llanelli Railway Station, six miles away, and the course.
Tickets
As well as the major race days, Ffos Las stages several evening meetings followed by live music and there is a popular Ladies Day in August. Children aged 17 and under go free when accompanied by a paying adult. Tickets can be reserved online from General Admission through to complete raceday hospitality packages.
The Effect Of The Draw
There is no discernible draw bias at Ffos Las, perhaps owing to the fact that the track is nice and wide and provides a fair test for horses drawn in most positions. It is worth noting that jockeys do tend to favour the centre of the course in soft ground.
