Ffos Las Rasecourse

The Ffos Las racecourse (strictly: Ffos Las Racecourse & Conference Centre) is a British horse racing, equestrian sports and conferencing venue situated in Ffos Las, Wales. The Ffos Las racecourse was built at the site of an open cast coal mine after mining operations ceased.

After the completion of the first phase of construction for a first race meeting in June 2009, the Ffos Las racecourse became the first new National Hunt racecourse to be built in the United Kingdom for 80 years, and Wales’s third racecourse. Ffos Las Racecourse was built at a cost of £20 million. The racecourse development site is about 600 acres in size and is located in a natural amphitheater setting. The racetrack itself is an oval which is 12 furlongs in length[1] and has a flat topography.
