PONTEFRACT HORSE RACING SYSTEM -- 2016 TURF SEASON -- PART ELEVEN

PONTEFRACT SEASON 2016
Wednesday 3rd August

11th Meeting of this season ... 

This will be our 11th meeting of the season on Wednesday afternoon for our system that focuses on Pontefract racecourse, West Yorkshire and we've another fixture to enjoy getting underway about 2.20pm.

Currently showing a loss of -45.06 points to level stakes at SP. Beginning to look like we have the season that breaks the rule and fails (rather spectacularly) to break into profit. There are still some meetings to go and it's possible to turn things around but haven't seen this level of deficit since I started.

As always we count ALL results for this meeting returned to a level stake at SP, and will also show any forecast results too in the daily results but these do not count for the profit / loss figures.

The forecast going is currently reported as 'Good to firm' the weather for Wednesday afternoon is for a fairly cloudy day in the most part, and a good chance of some rain. The max temp is going to be about 20C but probably a little cooler by race time with plenty of cloud cover.

Here are our selections for the 7 race card on Wednesday afternoon, remember it's a very simple selection process of stalls 1 and 2 in every race;

[Three from Three so far, not amazing prices granted but winners are always welcome ... can we go through the card? Sadly not ... our bubble burst by race four !].

Four winners and a couple of forecasts too, shame we could quite find that big winner but at least we never lost today, of course returns are to SP and we did do better.

C/F to meeting #11 -44.60 points lost.

Our next meeting here will take place on Sunday 14th.
