Harness Racing Near Ludlow

The harness racing season under WBC rules gathers momentum next weekend with a fixture near Bitterley, Ludlow, on Saturday, July 9th, which promises to be fast, furious and fun in the fresh air of the Shropshire countryside.

The feature race on the busy card, the ‘Temptress’ Free For All, has been awarded a breeders bonus from STAGBI, the breed society, so competition will be fierce as the stars of the circuit, do battle.

The popular meeting also boasts the first Saddle race of the season, and has been eagerly anticipated.

With the breath -taking scenery of Clee Hill as its backdrop, the track at Asbatch Farm (SY8 3HE) is a spectacular setting to watch the best horses on the WBC circuits. There will be a bar, bookmakers and catering, providing for an excellent afternoon out.

Racing begins at 1.30pm, and entrance to the track is £10 per person to include race-card, under 16’s and car parking free.

The Ludlow Trotting Association track is situated right on the side of the A4117 Kidderminster road, almost 2 miles from the junction with the A49.
