There is plenty of competitive action held at Pontefract throughout the Flat season but the first of its four listed prizes, the Pontefract Castle Stakes, takes place in June and has been won by Newmarket-based trainers in recent seasons. The Pipalong listed mile race for fillies’ and mares’ was first run in 2003 and is set to take place every year in August, while the Flying Fillies’ Stakes is run over six furlongs. The Silver Tankard Stakes takes place nearer the end of the season in October. It is open to two-year-olds and is run over a mile.
Left handed, in excess of two miles long, with considerable gradients and a stiff uphill finish. Despite the gradients, the run-in is only two furlongs long, and prominent racers can prove difficult to peg back, certainly in races up to a mile and a quarter. On very testing going, the jockeys occasionally race wide in search of better ground, swinging across to the stand side in the straight.
