Pontefract Races Live

Located in Pontefract Park, Ponte Races has a laid back feel to it with families able to park alongside the race track and have picnics.

The racing action is also decent as well and up until 2005 the racecourse had the longest race track in Europe with the longest race been 2 miles and 5 furlongs.

This was overtaken by York Racecourse as it hosted the Royal Ascot meeting in 2005 but there are no races run over that length at York any more so for us Pontefract still holds that record.

The course has an uphill finish and is left handed. That gives an advantage to those horses drawn on the inside of the track but with the longer races that gets somewhat neutralised.

For fans in the Grandstands, the topography of the course (the stands are at the top of the hill whilst the track drops down) gives great views of the action but there can be nothing better than watching up close via our great TV streams right here at GGTV.

Each and every race from Pontefract is available to watch live online via our Ponte races live stream partners and whilst there is a wagering requirement that needs to be met, the chances are that if you are interesting in racing from Ponte, you will be interested in betting on racing from Pontefract.

Ponte races is a great mix of a massive, challenging course for horses and jockeys and a small but friendly setting for fans.

Racing at Pontefract has a long history going back to 1648 and whist it is one of the smallest racecourses in Yorkshire, which is of course one of the key regions for the sport, it did gain notoriety during the war years when many major races were moved to the track as other courses closed.

The course added a photo finish all of the way back in 1952 and for the first English course to have a dope testing facility installed at the course which just goes to show the progressive nature of thew Wakefield course.

As you would expect from a course with such a long history, there are a number of races that stand out as the most popular and the most notable at the course.
