PONTEFRACT SEASON 2018.
Sunday 29th July.
Welcome to this our 10th meeting of the year.
Sunday racedays have always been extra special for Pontefract Racegoers. Our renowned Sunday fixtures not only feature the best racing of the year at Pontefract with over £100,000 worth of Prize Money available at each meeting, but they are also the 3 fixtures each season dedicated to families.
As well as special events on each Sunday raceday, there will also be a funfair, facepainting, circus, free sweets, activity packs and racecards for kids, pony rides, trips to the starts of races and a ‘Hunt The Golden Horseshoe’ competition on every Family Day!
There’s some stunning action on the track as well with the Listed Pomfret Stakes (3:30 race) the feature contest. Trainer David O’Meara has farmed the race in recent years with stunning winners such as Mondialiste and Custom Cut. Custom Cut was, however, foiled in his attempt to win the race for a second time in 2017 when Richard Fahey’s Another Touch collared him in the shadows of the post, he reappears again this year to try and defend his crown. Who’ll take the honours in 2018?
A few winners last time out but still find ourselves in the red coming into this fixture to the tune of -0.36 to Starting Prices so we can hopefully get that back starting today. We will continue throughout this season to record ALL results for these fixtures which are returned to a level stake at Starting Price (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 now currently reported as 'Good to firm' the weather for Sunday afternoon is for a partly cloudy and a humid day with a chance of showers with a forecast maximum temperature around the 24C mark as we continue to enjoy a wonderful summer though the rain will be welcome down here too.
