Was pleased to enjoy the online coverage of the first meeting this year, even though contests are currently being held behind closed doors we will continue to cover things as best we can here.
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:
Monday 15th June
Tuesday 7th July
Thursday 23rd July
Friday 31st July
Friday 14th August
So the season got underway here at Pontefract a little later than planned and we now look forward to the second of the revised schedule due on Monday 15th June where the 1st race will be due off around 12:20pm. The feature event on our ten race card this afternoon is the Pontefract Castle Fillies Stakes, a listed contest over 1m 4f due off at 14:50.
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. After the first meeting of the season last week we managed a few winners but sadly not quite enough and thus we carry forward a small loss of -3.75 points to SP as we look ahead to the second meeting of the season today.
