BANK Holiday Monday was a glorious sunny day for racing at Penybont track and the Llandrindod committee who share the track, provided a wonderful afternoon of entertainment with good racing in superb conditions.

The first nursery race was won by Habberley Anne the homebred youngster belonging to Stephen Williams from Shrewsbury with Ladyford John (Duggan Llangunllo) in second and Camden Lock (Lloyd/Samuels Painscastle) in third.

A break just before the line robbed Stephen Williams of Shrewsbury an immediate double as the second race went to Universal Soldier (Powell Merthyr Cynog) with Hello Vera (Lloyd Painscastle) second.

Pendragon (Powell Merthyr Cynog)came third in the first baby novice race and in the second baby novice race, Ook Whose Coming (Evans Brecon) came second.

In the first heat of the Novice Tillies Larg (Evans Brecon) came second while Tyssul Pearl (Thomas Llanbister) was third.

In the first heat of the Grade B Greenhill Cliff (Williams Brecon) came in third while Kickstart (Williams Brecon) came second in the B heat and Habberly Haste (Lloyd New Radnor) came in third in the third B Heat.

In the second A heat the grey Scoobys Dream (Williams Brecon) with Lynn Boxhall at the controls refused to give up his lead to Zestthewayilikeit (Jones Evenjobb) in second with Ithon Inmate (Price Brecon) in third.

The saddle is always one of the more popular races with the public and this week No Mercy (Weigel Llanddewi Velfrey) proved this is his favourite track as he repeated his win on the first Wednesday of August at the Penybont meeting again partnered by local rider Jayne Bevan while saddle specialist Meadowland Hasty (Price Brecon) was second.

The day concluded with the three finals, in the Novice Tillies Larg ran an impressive race with young owner Mark Evans from Brecon in the seat to win and so claim graduation into open racing.

In the grade A final Scoobys Dream (Williams Brecon) came in third.

The first meeting at Almely will take place this weekend, September 3 at 1.30pm.
