PONTEFRACT SEASON 2019.
Welcome to our eleventh meeting of the season on Wednesday 7th August.
1st race 2.20pm, gates open from around midday.
The 2019 season continues with our Ladies Day on Wednesday 7th August. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to buy a new outfit, then look no further as our annual Ladies Day is just around the corner. With an array of hats, fascinators and stilettos, the ladies of Yorkshire truly do to ‘dress to impress’ in an effort to win the coveted Best Dressed Lady Competition. And once again in 2019, we’ll have a Best Dressed Gents competition which will take place before the ladies.
Both winners will be receiving top prizes with the Best Dressed Lady jetting off to the wonderful island of Jamaica, courtesy of RIU Hotels and Resorts! The runner-up of the competition will also be jetting off, as they will be heading for a luxurious three-night stay in Madrid. There is also a prize for second runner-up, who will be treated to a VIP day out at Pontefract Races. The Best Dressed Lady Competition will start around 1.15pm in the parade ring, after The Best Dressed Gent Competition has come to its conclusion. The winner of the Gents will be walking away with £350 cash in his pocket, £100 for the runner-up and £50 for second runner-up.
There’s some great action on track with seven fantastic races lined up. The feature on the day is tiesplanet.com – Ladies Love Guys In Ties Handicap [4:20] for a £15,000 prize. There’s an impressive role of honour with 2016 winner, Stars Over The Sea, going on to win last year’s Cesarewitch Trial Handicap at Newmarket.
ALL of our 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. We arrive here on the back of a small loss last time which does mean we are still trailing on -40.525 points to SP as we come into the eleventh meeting and are now just over the half way point of our season. The forecast going is now currently reported as 'Soft' and our weather for Wednesday afternoon is for a generally warm day with plenty of humidity and a good chance of some light rain showers and we've a forecast maximum temperature around the 19C mark.

Results from today's meeting will be updated here later on during the afternoon, having started the 2019 season afresh, we fell behind early on and have been trying to catch up since. Currently showing a deficit of -40.525 coming into our eleventh meeting today. We picked up a winner in the finale but still meant we lost 6 points today [now -46.525], could have been worse and we do still have five more meetings to come after this one.
