|} The Welsh Champion Hurdle is a National Hunt Limited handicap hurdle race in Wales which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Ffos Las over a distance of 2 miles and four furlongs (4,023 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late January or early February. The race was first run in 1969 at Chepstow over 2 miles (3,218 metres), and continued there until 2002, holding Listed status during the 1980s. The race was usually run on Easter Monday and prior to the 1990s was usually contested by horses that had performed well in the Champion Hurdle. However field sizes were consistently small even in its heyday. The standard of the race declined in the 1990s, and it was run as a Handicap in 1993 and from 2000 until 2002. Unfortunately this change did not result in increased fields and the race was dropped from the calendar in 2003. In 2010 the race was revived, as a Limited Handicap, scheduled to be run at Ffos Las in February, over 2 miles. However the race was lost to the weather. The new race did take place in 2011, being won easily by Oscar Whisky, owned by track supremo, Dai Walters. The distance was increased to its current distance of 2 miles and 4 furlongs in 2013. ==Winners== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Welsh Champion Hurdle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
