PUBlIc TRANSPoRT TRAINS Leeds - Pontefract Tanshelf Wakefield - Monkhill

(Direct 58, 29) (Direct 39, 46)

There are 3 stations in Pontefract – Monkhill, Baghill and Tanshelf. Pontefract Tanshelf is more or less opposite the entrance to the Park, whereas Monkhill and Baghill stations are more centrally located in Pontefract and are around 2 to 3 miles from the course. If you don’t fancy the walk through the Town, taxis are available at the stations. There is a fourth station at Glasshoughton which adjoins the Xscape complex. This is a couple of miles from the Racecourse. If you have some time to kill, from near Glasshoughton Station (starting in the car park to B&Q!), there is a lovely walk through the Park to the Racecourse. It will take around 45 minutes.

W e l c Hello Ponte racegoers! We hope you enjoy your evening at the racecourse and get to see some of your local Rugby League stars take on the equine themed challenges throughout the night. Watch the players as they compete to stay on the mechanical horse, challenge themselves to a bit of commentating, discuss the best tips, the best turned out and interview the jockeys after their wins! This evening meeting will support the widely respected charities: MND and SIA. The winning team will be presented with the Rugby League Takeover Challenge Cup! Below is a map of the racecourse with the hotspots of the night.

The challenge started during the Cheltenham Festival and will finish during Royal Ascot. Freja is taking the opportunity to get as many of her runs completed at racecourses and will be completing a leg at Pontefract Racecourse today! Find out more about Freja's challenge by following her on Twitter - @RunningForRW or scanning the QR Code

ABOUT RACING WELFARE Racing Welfare supports all of racing’s people - including stud, stable and racecourse staff, alongside those working in associated professions - from their recruitment through to retirement.

PLAY SMARTER

HI CLARE isn’t ideally drawn but she showed ability when third on debut in a Wolverhampton novice over this trip 2 weeks ago and could well be the way to go with the prospect of more to come. Double O has ran well to hit the frame both starts to date and rates the chief threat, ahead of Fox Degree. Jam Nation and Princess Savannah also demand a market check for positive vibes.

Mr wolf Factfile & Q&A

Many of you will remember the hero of several Ponte meetings of the past - Mr Wolf! We thought it was about time we found out about the horse behind the name, and so we’ve had an in depth interview with the horse himself, asking those probing questions that you’ve always wanted to know.

Factﬁle

Name: Mr Wolf Age: 21 Sire: Woldhound Dam: Madam Millie Number of Career Wins: 13 Number of Ponte Wins: 8 Number of Lifetime Runs: 113 Track First Race Won: Newcastle How many different jockeys won on him? 8 Famous relations: Brother to Celtic Mill who won 17 times (twice at Ponte) including a Group 2. He also holds the course record of 5 furlongs at Doncaster!

Q&A

What’s your favourite food? Polos and grass What are your dislikes? Rain, having to stay in a stable, straight tracks and the vets And your likes? Sunshine, running fast and being the centre of attention. I also love going out in the ﬁeld and LOVE rolling in mud! Do you have any bad habits? Weaving, impatience & bucking Who’s your favourite jockey? Fergal Lynch And ﬁnally, what’s your favourite Racecourse? PONTEFRACT - obviously!

Plenty of course specialists on show here, including CORINTHIA KNIGHT. Archie Watson’s charge has been struggling for form this year but, having shown a glimmer of promise at Windsor 3 weeks ago and down to a career-low mark, he’s fancied to go close with the cheekpieces back on. Macho Pride may provide the main danger, ahead of Mr Orange and Round The Island, who have 13 course wins between them.

PLAY SMARTER

The return to this trip will, if anything, be a good thing where BAVARDAGES is concerned and a 2lb rise for his latest Beverley success is unlikely to be enough to prevent him from completing the hat-trick. Recent Musselburgh winner Mahanakhon Power should have a part to play and Dandy’s Angel is not discounted, but the selection may have most to fear from Bit of A Quirke, who put in a good shift when hitting the crossbar at Ripon last time.
