North Wales, UK – The fields are set for the Breeders Crown UK and Ireland harness races at Tir Prince Raceway on Tuesday evening, August 2.
In addition to the live harness racing there will be live music, plenty of food and beverages available and children under age 16 are admitted free. The Tir Prince Fairground is just across the way from the track for pre-race fun, and, of course, plenty of bookies to take wagers.
All eyes will be on the track for the three-year-old colt division of the BC to watch the top colt Miraculous perform. This son of Arts Conquest, winner of the Vincent Delaney Memorial last year, has only improved in 2016 for driver Patrick Kane, Jr. and trainer Sally Teeboon. Just last week at Portmarnock Raceway in Dublin, Miraculous rewrote the track record two days in a row, the fastest last Sunday with a lifetime mark of 1:55.90.
Miraculous was also the 2015 Breeders Crown UK & Ireland champion two-year-old in 2015.
The morning line favorite is Sulky Du Blequin for owner/trainer John Foy who is giving up the lines on this drive and has listed New Zealand's Dexter Dunn to be in the sulky. The ten-year-old Sulky Du Blequin has been razor sharp for Foy this year, recently winning the Malcolm Ali Memorial Silver LeTrot at Wolverhampton.
The BC four-year-old mares will be slugging it out with ten entered headlined by Shesgotanattitude for owner, breeder and driver John Richardson. The Kikikolt mare has come into her own this season but faces some stiff competition.
A full program of eleven top flight harness racing, live entertainment for both young and old, great food and drink plus bookmakers on site awaits everyone who comes out to Tir Prince Raceway Tuesday evening. First race post time is 6:00 pm.
