PONTEFRACT SEASON 2019.
Welcome to our fifth meeting of the season on Monday 10th June.
1st race 6.05pm, gates open from 4pm.
The 2019 season continues with Sports Night and following the Rugby League Evenings held in 2017 and 2018, the course are extending the sporting invitation to some of the other sporting teams of West Yorkshire.
The region is very lucky enough to have some fantastic sporting action on our doorstep. Not only do we have racing here in Pontefract, we have some world class Rugby League, football and cricket teams too. On Monday Evening 10th June, you’ll get the best of both worlds as players and coaches from some of the West Yorkshire sporting teams will be coming racing and mingling with the crowds!
There’ll be 7 unforgettable races as well, featuring the Mr Wolf Sprint which commemorates one of the all time Pontefract greats. Runners in this race have a real mountain to climb to emulate ‘Wolfie’ who ran at Pontefract an incredible 36 times winning here 8 times in total. He was a true course legend and his brave front running style used to have his rivals in trouble from early on in the race. His final race at Pontefract was on 29th July 2012 and he’s currently enjoying retirement on his owner’s farm (earlier pic below).
ALL results for these fixtures are recorded 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. Following a slow start to the season we had a nice set of results in the previous meeting and cleared out the deficit leaving us with a small but important profit of +1.445 points to SP as we come into the fifth meeting.
