Welcome to Tregaron Trotting Club
OUR CLUB
There has always been a strong association between Tregaron and Trotting. However it was the dream of a few Tregaron enthusiasts to establish not just an ordinary race meeting but a meeting that would put Tregaron on the map. A meeting that would strive to give the best and get the best.
Thus the Tregaron Trotting Club was first formed in 1980 as 'Deri Llanio Harness Racing Committee', and it was on Deri Llanio fields, near Llanddewi Brefi that the first meeting was held on July 29th 1980. By August 1984 the club was creating history. The Cardis, renowned for the reluctance to part with money, where now offering the first £1000 harness race in Wales. The winner on that historic day MOUNTAIN HERO was bred in Tregaron by the committee's first secretary Gareth Lloyd Davies. Sadly Gareth did not live to see the fruition of the dream of any owner - to win Tregaron. It was however fitting that the winner was presented with the Gareth Lloyd Davies Memorial Trophy. This perpetual trophy is now presented to the winner of the Welsh Classic, the finest accolade.

THE WELSH CLASSIC
The Welsh Classic was first run in 1984, and was won by MOUNTAIN HERO. For many Tregaron people this was indeed an emotional win as Mountain Hero, a 5 year old gelding by Dixieland and out of Ballymonty, was bred by the club's first secretary Gareth Lloyd Davies. Sadly Gareth did not live to see his horse win at Tregaron and one can only imagine how very proud he would have been.
The trophy presented to Teifion Thomas the owner, trainer and driver of Mountain Hero was the Gareth Lloyd Davies Memorial Trophy, and is now the trophy presented annually to the winner of the Welsh Classic.
