NWSA have announced plans for 3 and 4 year old stake races to be run at Tir Prince in 2011.

3 Year Old Championship over 1 Mile

Plans for a 3 year old stakes race to be held on Wednesday 27th July have been announced. It is hoped that there will be sufficient entries to run separate finals for colts and fillies otherwise if there is a single race fillies will be preferred. The race is scheduled for live TV coverage, entry fee will be £100 payable by 30th April with a further payment of £50 payable on the race night, so there wont be any worrying about missing sustaining payment dates. It is hoped that there will be a £2000 prize fund.

4 Year Old Derby over 1 1/2 Mile

Plans for a brand new Derby Championship for 4 year olds to be held on Wednesday 17th August have been announced. It is hoped that there will be sufficient entries to run separate finals for colts and fillies otherwise if there is a single race fillies will be preferred. The race is scheduled for live TV coverage, entry fee will be £100 payable by 30th April with a further payment of £50 payable on the race night, so there wont be any worrying about missing sustaining payment dates. It is hoped that there will be a £2000 prize fund. Dont forget this year there is a 50% reduction in monies won for handicap purposes for advertised 4 year old racing.

Entry Forms for both races will be in the next edition of the BHRC calendar.

Eric Witherspoon and Jim McInally are still looking for sponsors for races for this year they can be contacted on 07919818925.

Due to the fantastic support shown by the NWSA especially through Eric Witherspoon and Jim McInally Tir Prince have put in for 6 confirmed races and 1 provisional date for 2011. Due to requests from Amman Valley and Tir Prince S4C have moved the Rasus series to a Wednesday. Therefore all our races except the Whitsun meeting will be run on Wednesdays. There will be fewer televised meetings this year and due to the rugby World Cup in September the Crock of Gold meeting moves to 31st August. The proposed dates need confirmation from the BHRC but are proposed as:

Tuesday 31st May

Wednesday 27th July Crock of Gold heat

Wednesday 3rd August

Wednesday 10th August

Wednesday 17th August Crock of Gold heat

Wednesday 31st August Crock of Gold Final

The provisional date is Wednesday 24th August.

NWSA have committed to raise sponsorship to cover the prize money for all races (except Crock of Gold and Billy Williams) at the moment they have pledges for at least three meetings but need help and support to cover the other three (or four) meetings. If you can help or know someone who may be interested in sponsorship please contact Eric Witherspoon on 0791 9818925 or Jim McInally on 07764664169 all monies raised goes directly to NWSA. If you want racing to continue at Tir Prince they need all the help that they can get!

Adam, David and the team wish all of you a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
