Ffos Las Racecourse Guide
Opened in 2009 and located in West Wales, it is the first new NH track to have opened in Britain for more than 80 years. Built on the site of a disused pit, Ffos Las has recently been sold, which could lead to an increase in the number of meetings held there.
Type of Racing: Flat and National Hunt
Highlights: Originally, the January meeting (if and when weather permitted) held the two major races of the Ffos Las calendar.
The West Wales National has since moved to April, and the resurrected Welsh Champion Hurdle (handicap) to October, hopefully, to avoid the worst of the climatic conditions.
If there is no current meeting at Ffos Las, whether that be nothing scheduled or the weather has forced an abandonment, then head over to the racing predictions page for tips at other racecourses today.

Ffos Las Racecourse Map
Left-handed and just under 14 furlongs, it is one of the longer circuits. It has two long straights, but both the hurdles and chase courses have short run-ins after the final obstacle. It is essentially a level track with a slight incline on the back straight and a compensating home straight.
Of the two bends, the home turn is shorter and therefore tighter, but in reality, the course can be described as galloping.

How to get the best Ffos Las tips
Visit the OLBG tips pages to view the tips and comments by the top horse racing tipsters.
Look for trainers with rare runners at the track; it’s a jaunt to Ffos Las, and you wouldn’t be sending a horse that far unless you had a chance of some prize money.
The trainers based in Wales naturally like to have winners there as local owners can be in attendance. You can get two Welsh trainers in a race at the top of the betting, always worth a check.
Field sizes tend to be small at the track, making finding a winner a touch easier. As the going can be very testing at times, the ability of horses to see out a longer trip on soft ground can play a huge part.
Ffos Las Draw Bias
✅ The most profitable stall at Ffos Las in the win market when breaking it down to race trips is stall 5 over a trip of 6f, backing all runners in this stall over that trip over the past five years would have returned a profit of +156.06.
❌ The stall with the worst loss at Ffos Las in the win market when breaking it down to race trips is stall 1 over a trip of 7½f, backing all runners in this stall over that trip over the past five years would have returned a loss of -39.81.
Here we have the draw bias for Ffos Las taken into consideration in races with ten or more runners. We will break down the figures by race trips. Draws can be much more important in shorter trips, where runners do not have time to find their position during the race, meaning the draw is probably more important than in races over longer distances.
- Sprints (5f to 7½f)
The following table shows a breakdown of a group of trips and shows how each position of the draw does, for example, in a twelve-runner race would be Low (Stalls 1-4), Mid (Stalls 5-8) and High (Stalls 9-12). The positions will always be the lowest stall number to the highest.
