Ffos success for Elliott

Grand National-winning trainer Gordon Elliott carted off with the first major jumps race at Ffos Las as Backstage romped to a 10-length success in the £50,000 freebets.co.uk Handicap Chase.

The legendary Peter O'Sullevan made the long journey across the M4 to officially open the track, which he described as an "historic moment for Welsh horseracing" after the 20th-century losses of Cardiff, Monmouth and Tenby.
