The Art of Racing

About

Once again, Pontefract Racecourse will have two Art of Racing Racedays in 2024. These racedays celebrate everything we know and love about The Sport of Kings!

On both Art of Racing days they’ll be looking for 7 guest tipsters to each preview one of the races on the day. These previews will be published online and in the racecards on the day with our tipsters invited to the course to share their knowledge before each race. They’ll also be looking for 7 judges with a keen eye to pick a Best Turned Out prize in each race. If you would like to apply please email marketing@pontefract-races.co.uk

Experience an afternoon of thrilling racing at one of Yorkshire’s most traditional racecourses! You’ll get a warm, friendly, Yorkshire welcome from the team at Pontefract, so come and enjoy a great day out!

Hospitality options are plentiful and include bespoke business packages, private boxes and shared facilities.

Tickets can be purchased in advance via the Pontefract Racecourse website or on the day at the gate, both cash and card accepted.
