Sunday 18th August – In The Zone Family Day/ SkyBet Sunday Series

The last Sunday, family day of the season at Pontefract and it’s Sky Bet Sunday Series!  There will be six zones set up around the racecourse with the aim of informing racegoers about the different operations that make up a raceday.  The Industry Zone offers behind the scenes takes in the winners’ enclosure.  There will be a parade of ex-racehorses in the Horse Zone.  The Quiet Zone offers free tea or coffee and a chance to work your way through the days runners.  The Newcomers Zone is manned by a team to help show you around the racecourse and explain how an afternoon at the races works.  The Tipster Zone might just give you a winner if you listen to the expert Punters Panel in the Winner’s Enclosure and the Kids Zone has a host of activities in the Picnic Enclosure.

In addition there’s a funfair, sweets, activity packs, racecards for kids and a ‘Hunt The Golden Horseshoe’ competition.

Gates open at 12 noon and the first race is 3.45pm.

Admission is £23 in the Premier Enclosure, or £20 for concessions, £17 in the Grandstand and Paddock or £14 for Concessions and the Picnic Enclosure is £6 and £5 for concessions.
