Racecourse Features and Location

Ffos Las Racecourse

A new racecourse is born……

After many years in the planning and a £20 million investment, Carmarthenshire is set to enjoy some of the country’s best racing when Ffos Las opened its doors on the 18th June 2009.

Set in amid rolling hills and overlooking Carmarthen Bay to Tenby and Caldey Island, it is hard to imagine that this area was the home of Europe’s largest open cast coalmine.

Ffos Las will become the first turf racecourse in the UK to open since Taunton first raced in 1927.  It will host very good quality Jump and Flat racing year round and will provide state of the art facilities for the horses, trainers and jockeys and the viewing public.
