Pontefract Racecourse Guide
About
Pontefract is a tough, undulating flat-only course in West Yorkshire that boasts the longest continuous circuit in Europe.
The Track & Course
It is a sharp-turning left-hander with pronounced undulations and a stiff uphill finish, making it a real test of a versatile, genuine stayer who handles the gradients. A low draw is generally favoured around the turning track.
Going & Ground
The ground rides fair to soft and the demanding finish always rewards stamina and a willing attitude.
Key Races
The Pontefract Castle Stakes and a series of competitive summer evening handicaps are among the course's better-known fixtures.
