During the past 2 weeks we had the Qualifiers for the SECF sponsored Championship for French trotters in Malta.



Tomorrow on the occasion of the 22nd Meeting of the year, this championship enters into a new phase; the Semi-Finals. Things are now getting serious and at this stage we will be getting the finalists for the 5 finals of this Championship reserved to each of the classes of horses running in Malta.

The Premier Class horses not participating in the SECF Championship will also be having Qualifiers running parallel to this championship. The 3 Qualifiers to be held next Sunday will give the first 3 horses of each of these qualifiers a ticket for the Sette Giugnio Cup which Final will be held on the 7th June as the name itself suggests.

Whilst wishing all the participants the best of luck for a place in the finals, we would like to invite the public to be numerous at the track for yet another interesting meeting.

Happy Mother's Day to all those mothers following with lots of passion and patience horse racing!!

Next Sunday 27th January marks the start of a new year of horse racing on our island. Following suit to an impressive year 2012, we are on the brink of a new year which already promises well.

During this stop after the festive season, the race track has been resurfaced with new material that was imported from abroad. After an erroneous consignment another one reached our island last Wednesday 16th January and was laid out on the track during the night. During these days it has been given water on a regular basis to prepare it for racing.

For this reason the track will be opening next Wednesday 23rd January ONLY for the horses that will participate on the 27th January. In this way, the condition of the track will be tested and it will continue to be worked to be in in the best condition possible for the 27th January. In this way in one day about 80 horses will be working on the track, which should give a clear indication about when to fully open the track for all horses. The opening hours will be: Wednesday 23rd at 7am to 9:30am and 1pm to 4pm

2013 will also mark the 5th Anniversary since we launched this website back in 5th February 2008 and It will be a year of a couple of changes too. We will be talking about these changes at a later stage. We are committed to continue giving all horse racing enthusiasts the best professional service possible, keeping in mind that we keep up this website on a voluntary basis.

You can also find the Start List of races to be held on the 27th January in our Start List section. We would like to inform you that for the time being the points have not been amended, but we will work on them as soon as possible before next Sunday.

Whilst wishing you all the best for the enjoyment of good year of racing, we hope to see you at the Track!!!
