PONTEFRACT HORSE RACING SYSTEM -- 2017 TURF SEASON -- PART SIXTEEN (FINALE)

PONTEFRACT SEASON 2017
Monday 23rd October
Welcome to this our sixteenth and final meeting here in Yorkshire this season.




Our sixteenth and final meeting for 2017 and have to be honest and admit that it has been a rather disappointing year in this thread were we keep finding too many 2nds / 3rds for my liking and are now down by the sum of -27.01 points for the season with only this final meeting to go. The final meeting on Monday will begin at 2:20pm and we hope for a success to round things off before we patch up our wounds for 2018. We WILL be back.

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 Soft, Soft in places' the weather for Monday is for a rather cloudy day and possibility of some scattered rain showers during the course of the afternoon with a forecast maximum temperature around 16C. Best to wrap up and take a brolly.

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

Results for this afternoon's meeting will be updated later. As we seek to clear our current loss for the season from it's current value of -27.01 for this our final meeting. Two winners only today and a small loss of -1.50 points making a season loss of -28.51 sadly. Still it was 'fun' and we will return in 2018.

That's all for 2017 and while the season hasn't go as well as I had hoped we will still return for another crack in 2018. Hope you enjoyed it despite the results.
