Sean Bowen completed his treble with a comfortable win for the Rebecca Curtis-trained Minella Bobo THERE was plenty of Pembrokeshire success as racing returned to Ffos Las Racecourse for the first time in a month. Jockey Sean Bowen rode a treble – and there were also doubles for trainers Peter Bowen and Rebecca Curtis. There were eight races in total, which surprisingly took place on good to soft ground, despite the deluge of rain in previous days. Sean Bowen took the opening novices’ hurdle over two miles and four furlongs with Equus Dancer, trained by his father Peter. The jockey followed up with a win on Lermoos Legend in the handicap chase over two miles, also for the Little Newcastle stable.

THERE was more frustrating news for Ffos Las Racecourse when its scheduled meeting for Thursday (February 11) became the latest race fixture to be cancelled because of the wintry conditions. There were 82 runners declared for the meeting, and expectations earlier in the week were that the ground would be heavy - but organisers hoped conditions would improve with a drying wind. Former Coral Scottish Grand National winner Joe Farrell, trained by Rebecca Curtis, was entered in the hunters chase, with the seven scheduled races set to be screened live on Sky Sports. Despite huge efforts from the ground staff to cover parts of the course, it was announced on Wednesday morning that, after a precautionary inspection, the meeting had been abandoned.
