Ffos Las Race Results
Ffos Las in Camarthenshire, West Wales was the first new jumping track to be built in the UK for 80 years when it opened in 2009. It now stages the prestigious Welsh Champion Hurdle and the West Wales National. There is also some competitive flat racing and the popular Christmas Party Race day in mid-December.

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.
The biggest race of the season at Ffos Las is the Welsh Champion Hurdle which takes place on a Saturday in October. The race was formerly 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 has enjoyed something of a revival in recent years. 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.
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.
There are frequent buses between Llaneli and Carmarthen which stop at the entrance to Ffos Las Racecourse. A regular shuttle bus is available on race days between nearby Llaneli Railway Station 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. The late July/early August evening meeting offers free admission for a maximum of four tickets per household! 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.
