Finally we've seen a welcome return to the sporting arena, even though contests are currently being held behind closed doors.
Official Statement from Pontefract Racecourse regarding Coronavirus;
*The information below is correct at 5pm on Wednesday 3rd June and will be updated as and when further information is available and/or updated advice is received.*
At Pontefract Racecourse the safety and welfare of our visitors, racegoers, participants and team is paramount. We are keeping up to date with the latest information and advice from the Government and the British Horseracing Authority and have a team ready to implement recommended actions. We have been allocated 6 race meetings 'Behind Closed Doors'. This means that there will be no public in attendance and race meetings will be open to jockeys, trainers and officials only.
Currently have six meetings scheduled 'behind closed doors'.
These will be on:
Wednesday 10th June
Monday 15th June
Tuesday 7th July
Thursday 23rd July
Friday 31st July
Friday 14th August
So our season begins here at Pontefract a little later than planned but here we go with the opening meeting on Wednesday 10th June where the 1st race due off 12:45pm. One of the featured races on today's card will be the 2m 1f stayers handicap off at 15:20, the stayers championship here is an important part of the traditional calendar at the course.
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 begin again this season with a clean slate.
A link to this afternoon's race card can be found here.

The going for the race meeting behind closed doors on Wednesday 10th June is currently Good to Firm, good in places (8.4) following 13.5mm of rain this week.
