0:20:080:20:12

-Lyons Lememay won

-the Little Welsh Dragoness.

0:20:120:20:16

-Southern Sunshine

-won the Strata Florida Final.

0:20:160:20:19

-Meldoon's in the final

-and it's been such a memorable day.

0:20:200:20:24

-I don't think we'll ever top this.

0:20:240:20:26

-To a lot of people,

-this success isn't surprising.

0:20:270:20:30

-Take us back to the Portmarnock

-meeting in Ireland...

0:20:300:20:34

-..and the Vincent Delaney Memorial -

-another memorable day.

0:20:340:20:37

-Lyons Lememay has given us

-a lot of great races this season.

0:20:380:20:42

-She won the Breeders Crown in

-Portmarnock and a 6,000 Euro prize.

0:20:420:20:48

-That was good.

-She's also broken the 2:00 barrier.

0:20:480:20:52

-Portmarnock

-was a memorable meeting...

0:20:530:20:55

-..and it's also an important meeting

-for the young horses.

0:20:550:20:59

-There were some really fast times.

0:20:590:21:02

-Robyn Camden won the fillies'

-division in under two minutes.

0:21:020:21:06

-Matticulous is owned locally here

-and they had a great time there.

0:21:070:21:13

-It's nice to win

-some of their money for a change.

0:21:130:21:16

-They come over and win our money -

-it was role reversal this time.

0:21:170:21:21

-6,000 Euros -

-the stable's largest payday?

0:21:220:21:25

-The biggest payday,

-unless we win the Welsh Classic.

0:21:250:21:29

-I think we're asking too much

-to win that too.

0:21:300:21:33

-We've never been

-in the Welsh Classic.

0:21:330:21:35

-We'll give it our best shot.

0:21:360:21:38

-Whatever happens,

-you've had a memorable 2017 season.

0:21:380:21:42

-It's been special for us. Tregaron

-2017 - we'll never forget it.

0:21:420:21:48

-Good luck in the final.

-Thank you very much.

0:21:480:21:51

-After the break, we review

-the season for the independents.

-Welcome back. Two heat races to go

-until the Welsh Classic Final.

0:22:080:22:13

-In the next, Wales' most successful

-trainer in 2017, David Bevan.

0:22:130:22:20

-He has a bit of a headache.

0:22:200:22:22

-The stable has two horses

-in the next heat race.

0:22:220:22:25

-It's a family stable and the sport

-goes back many generations...

0:22:260:22:30

-..back into the mists of time.

0:22:300:22:32

-It's in his blood.

-He was born surrounded by horses.

0:22:370:22:40

-His grandfather raced

-throughout his life, and my husband.

0:22:410:22:46

-If you like horses,

-you're drawn to them.

0:22:460:22:50

-It's like a magnet.

0:22:500:22:53

-Sort of grown up with them. Always

-a bit of a hobby outside farming.

0:22:540:22:58

-It's a way of life now.

-All we do is train horses.

0:22:590:23:02

-First of all

-you need dedication to the work.

0:23:020:23:05

-He has plenty of experience. I sent

-two horses to him 20 years ago.

0:23:060:23:12

-He was a youngster then.

-He has plenty of talent.

0:23:120:23:16

-He's also a good driver.

0:23:160:23:18

-We've won a lot more finals

-than we normally win.

0:23:190:23:22

-Lakeside Paddy's been good to us

-so I'm happy enough.

0:23:220:23:26

-They're both by Doonbeg

-which was a really good stallion.

0:23:270:23:32

-They're total opposites. John Barley

-is tough, likes long distances.

0:23:320:23:36

-Lakeside Paddy

-can do to the distance...

0:23:370:23:39

-..and he's got a burst of speed.

0:23:400:23:42

-Tregaron, obviously hopeful,

-but horses come from everywhere.

0:23:430:23:47

-It's always tough

-to win in Tregaron...

0:23:480:23:50

-..but if you can come away

-with a win, it's great.

0:23:500:23:53

-There's plenty of Welsh interest

-in the fourth heat race.

0:23:580:24:02

-David Bevan has chosen

-Lakeside Paddy for this race.

0:24:020:24:06

-Huw Thomas comes in

-to partner John Barley.

0:24:060:24:10

-Mark Jones has high hopes

-for Rockin Mambo.

0:24:100:24:13

-Rhyds Passion has attracted a lot of

-money, driven by Patrick Kane Jnr.

0:24:130:24:18

-Ffynnon is driven by Jamie Davies.

0:24:180:24:21

-Ffynnon almost made it

-three years ago. Can he do it today?

0:24:210:24:25

-Rockin Mambo comes through.

-Here he comes.

0:25:370:25:40

-The Sennybridge man

-gets the better of Patrick Kane Jnr.

0:25:410:25:45

-Two finalists for him

-with Rhyds Passion in second place.

0:25:450:25:48

-Rhun Wilson is pushed out

-into third.

0:25:490:25:51

-That was some race for Rockin Mambo.

0:25:530:25:55

-He won a heat race and a final

-in York.

0:25:560:25:59

-He was second recently

-in Portmarnock.

0:25:590:26:02

-He comes home with plenty to spare.

0:26:020:26:04

-Patrick Kane Jnr holds back knowing

-that he's safely into the final.

0:26:040:26:09

-He now has two horses in the final.

0:26:090:26:13

-I wanted to lead out the gate...

0:26:130:26:15

-..but I knew one horse

-was quick out of the gate.

0:26:150:26:17

-I sat behind Patrick and kicked

-for home off the bottom bend.

0:26:180:26:21

-Fair play, we got the job done.

0:26:210:26:24

-It'd be nice to win it. We did it

-four years ago with Infinatey.

0:26:240:26:28

-To come and do it twice...

0:26:280:26:30

-..I don't think the same owner

-has done it twice.

0:26:300:26:33

-It'll probably be history.

0:26:330:26:35

-The two horses through

-to the final from the fourth heat.

0:26:350:26:39

-Rockin Mambo for Mark Jones and

-Rhyds Passion for Patrick Kane Jnr.

0:26:390:26:44

-So close for Rhun Wilson.

0:26:440:26:46

-Apart from the final

-of the Welsh Classic...

0:26:480:26:51

-..you've seen most

-of the mainstream races.

0:26:510:26:54

-But there's more than one

-harness racing club in Wales.

0:26:540:26:57

-We went to Caersws to see how things

-have been on the other side.

0:26:580:27:02

-Great racing.

0:27:120:27:14

-We had one meeting with 1,000 in

-Talgarreg. This one today is 1,000.

0:27:140:27:19

-It's a good field. It's the

-only meeting of the year here.

0:27:190:27:23

-There's always a good crowd here.

0:27:230:27:25

-There's always a good crowd here.

-

-It's very picturesque.

0:27:250:27:27

-It's a testing track for horses

-because it's so open.

0:27:270:27:31

-You need a very fit horse.

0:27:310:27:34

-It'll be interesting to see

-who wins today.

0:27:340:27:37

-It's a 1,000 first prize

-so it'll be competitive.

0:27:370:27:40

-It's got a nice bit of cut in it.

0:27:410:27:43

-The bend here is a bit tricky.

0:27:430:27:45

-If you swing wide on it...

0:27:450:27:48

-..it's always been

-a bit of a character, that bend.

0:27:480:27:51

-Otherwise, the track is very fair.

0:27:520:27:54

-There's no doubting the main

-character amongst the drivers.

0:27:550:27:59

-Melanie Langford from Ystradgynlais.

0:27:590:28:02

-She's the first female for many

-years to top the drivers' table.

0:28:020:28:06

-I've had some nice horses to drive.

0:28:060:28:08

-It's the first season I've come

-back after having children.

0:28:090:28:13

-For a lady driver to beat the men...

0:28:130:28:16

-..it'd be nice to come back and

-enjoy racing and drive good horses.

0:28:160:28:21

-The horse that's impressed,

-like last year, is Lakeside Pan.

0:28:210:28:28

-It's had another memorable season.

0:28:280:28:30

-It's had another memorable season.

-

-Excellent, excellent.

0:28:300:28:31

-It's won two big races.

0:28:320:28:34

-We won the Grade A in Llangadog

-for the third time.

0:28:340:28:38

-We won the Talgarreg Races,

-and 1,000 guineas, over 1,000.

0:28:380:28:42

-It cruised past them.

0:28:420:28:45

-It won off 20 yards.

-It's now back to 50 yards.

0:28:450:28:48

-It's just sport,

-it's a hobby for us.

0:28:480:28:52

-We work every day.

-This is our weekend job.

0:28:520:28:55

-The best horse I've ever had

-and the best horse I've driven.

0:28:560:29:00

-It likes to run past horses.

0:29:000:29:02

-You can teach that, it's instinct.

0:29:020:29:05

-There's a lot to do. Over the

-first lap, it'll catch them up.

0:29:050:29:09

-Once it catches them up,

-I hope it can do something.

0:29:100:29:13

-In the first heat race,

-Wayne's prophecy came true.

0:29:140:29:18

-One of the most heart-warming

-stories we've had in recent years...

0:29:290:29:33

-..was following Amazing Grace

-Red Roses from the very beginning.

0:29:340:29:39

-The amazing story continues.

0:29:390:29:41

-Very pleased. I didn't expect it.

0:29:460:29:48

-I didn't think the ground

-would suit her.

0:29:480:29:52

-As soon as she's on the track,

-she's into work mode and she's off.

0:29:520:29:58

-We tend to win more races

-towards the end of summer.

0:29:580:30:02

-From now on,

-I hope we can win some red rosettes.

0:30:020:30:06

-Winning red rosettes again

-are some returning after falls.

0:30:070:30:11

-Janet Thomas Tregroes

-and Higher Temptation.

0:30:110:30:14

-Three, four years old.

0:30:180:30:20

-We had a nasty injury

-and we were out for about a year.

0:30:200:30:24

-She was injured too.

0:30:240:30:27

-She's back now and it looks like

-it knocked some sense into her.

0:30:280:30:32

-She's much better now.

0:30:320:30:34

-Always an honour to win.

0:30:380:30:40

-Wherever you are, it's nice.

0:30:400:30:43

-It's also nice to see

-Matthew Tromans back...

0:30:440:30:48

-..and back in style too.

0:30:480:30:50

-Four winners

-for the Newcastle Emlyn driver.

0:30:500:30:53

-It's been a strange start

-to the season.

0:30:590:31:02

-Ellie's doing well with the juniors.

0:31:020:31:05

-She was in the cart

-for the first time this year.

0:31:050:31:08

-She's doing really well.

0:31:080:31:10

-It's going well. I've got five wins.

-It's hard to find horses.

0:31:100:31:16

-I'm glad I can borrow horses

-from others.

0:31:160:31:20

-Dad helps out with that.

0:31:200:31:22

-He goes around

-looking for good horses.

0:31:220:31:25

-I film it myself.

0:31:250:31:28

-If there was a monitor plugged into

-my heart, it would be off the radar.

0:31:280:31:33

-Very nervous.

0:31:330:31:35

-No joy for Ellie today. Josie Duggan

-and Howie won their first race.

0:31:350:31:40

-Two finals to finish

-a special day of racing.

0:31:470:31:51

-In the Grade B Final, Fold The Notes

-got the best of Janet Tregroes.

0:31:510:31:56

-Second for Hyar Temptation.

0:31:560:31:59

-In the Grade A Final...

0:32:000:32:03

-..a 50-yard handicap

-was too much Lakeside Pan.

0:32:030:32:07

-Second to Ithon Inmate...

0:32:070:32:09

-..a third win of the day

-for old head Derek Pritchard.

0:32:090:32:13

-Yes, we won. That's the plan.

0:32:160:32:19

-He's won every big race

-on the Wales and Borders.

0:32:190:32:22

-He's got the collection,

-he's done very well.

0:32:220:32:25

-Thank you very, very much.

0:32:260:32:28

-To complete the picture,

-Caersws was followed by Penybont...

0:32:340:32:38

-..the Wembley of Wales.

0:32:380:32:40

-Janet Tregroes and Hyar Temptation

-win the Grade B heat and final.

0:32:430:32:48

-Wily old fox Brian Jones from

-Llanllwni won the Grade A final...

0:32:490:32:54

-..for the fourth time in five years,

-this time with Chinatown Colt.

0:32:540:33:00

-It's time for the fourth heat race

-for the Welsh Classic Final.

0:33:040:33:08

-A champion in 2014, Saunders Mach 3

-driven by Rhys Evans.

0:33:080:33:12

-Can he do it for a second time?

0:33:120:33:16

-It's hard to see beyond Rocker

-Laidler's Happy Hands for this heat.

0:33:170:33:22

-Roy Sheedy has entered Wellfield

-Earl and Wellfield Official.

0:33:220:33:27

-Lee Price was a winner in Boughrood

-with Llwyns Delight.

0:33:270:33:31

-The best horses

-are all in this race.

0:33:310:33:34

-Saunders Mach 3 is there

-for Rhys Evans...

0:33:340:33:37

-..but he has it all to do

-to qualify from this heat.

0:33:370:33:41

-Lee Price is safe

-with Llwyns Delight.

0:34:560:35:00

-He looks over his shoulder.

0:35:000:35:02

-Rocker Laidlaw

-is breathing easier now...

0:35:020:35:06

-..after being closed in the box.

0:35:060:35:09

-He came out with Happy Hands

-and he's through to the final.

0:35:090:35:13

-The favourite is in the final.

0:35:130:35:15

-The Welsh Classic will be

-some final, believe you me.

0:35:150:35:19

-Lee Price, a winner at Boughrood

-last week, will join the elite.

0:35:190:35:25

-Went out, very fast pace.

0:35:250:35:27

-Going down the back for the

-final time, I was waiting for them.

0:35:280:35:32

-I kicked for home and he came home.

0:35:320:35:34

-It's the pinnacle for the Welsh,

-the Welsh Classic.

0:35:340:35:38

-When the music comes on when

-we parade, it's the best feeling.

0:35:380:35:42

-This is where you want to be.

0:35:420:35:44

-The fastest time of the day...

0:35:440:35:47

-..2:04,

-for Lee Price and Llwyns Delight.

0:35:470:35:50

-Rocker Laidler left it late

-with Happy Hands.

0:35:510:35:55

-We're waiting

-for the Welsh Classic Final.

0:35:570:36:00

-You must be happy

-with the way the weekend has gone.

0:36:010:36:04

-It's a pleasure standing here

-with the sun in my eyes.

0:36:040:36:09

-That's my first pleasure.

0:36:090:36:11

-Both days have gone remarkably well.

0:36:110:36:14

-It was very wet last weekend but

-the weather's been kind for once.

0:36:140:36:19

-We've had two great days.

0:36:190:36:21

-What about the standard

-of the heats?

0:36:210:36:24

-This year's Welsh Classic

-is the best it's ever been.

0:36:240:36:27

-There are no big names

-like we've had in previous years.

0:36:280:36:32

-It's very open.

0:36:330:36:34

-Michael O'Mahony,

-what a weekend he's had.

0:36:350:36:38

-There's no stopping him.

0:36:380:36:39

-Five winners yesterday, three today.

-He has a chance in the final.

0:36:390:36:43

-It's wonderful for him.

-All his family are here.

0:36:440:36:47

-His brother, sister, their children.

-The children have lost their voices!

0:36:470:36:52

-They're shouting

-each time Michael's on the track.

0:36:530:36:56

-It's great. He trains in Penuwch

-which isn't far from here.

0:36:570:37:00

-It's important

-to keep the prize money local.

0:37:000:37:03

-A few changes this year,

-to one of the races on Friday night.

0:37:030:37:07

-You moved one of the races

-to Saturday night.

0:37:070:37:10

-The two-year-old horses

-can't race twice in a day.

0:37:100:37:14

-The heats were last night

-and they're in the final today.

0:37:140:37:18

-Two-year-olds are running 2:07

-on a grass field in Ceredigion.

0:37:180:37:25

-In the middle of the mountains,

-it's a wonder we have a flat field!

0:37:250:37:30

-It's been great, very special.

0:37:300:37:32

-After the break,

-the Welsh Classic Final.

0:37:320:37:36

-We also pay tribute

-to one of the stalwarts...

0:37:370:37:40

-..who never won the Welsh Classic

-but had a lot of fun trying.
