Jockey by day, swan whisperer by afternoon! @dannyredmund95 saves a swan in trouble this afternoon at Pontefract Lake. Hilarious commentary from the Irish lad as he gallantly pulls the swans head out to safety. Bear Grylls would be proud!

For all the latest information on Pontefract Racecourse - direct from the course.
- Important supplies restocked ready for next week👏 Every horse that runs at Ponte receives a couple well deserved packs of polos and the winner of every race also takes home a sack of carrots & pack of apples 🥕🍎
- It’s the first day of the season! The lads have done a great job & the course looks fab. But instead of welcoming horses, owners, trainers, jockeys & racegoers, it’s all a ghost town. What’s more, it’s a glorious day☀️ Stay home, safe & healthy & we’ll be back later in the year
- Ahead of this evening's first race we held a minute silence in memory of Peter Easterby. All of us at Pontefract send our sincere condolences to the Easterby family.
- THERE’S ONLY ONE HOLLIE DOYLE 😍 No words needed, @HollieDoyle1 is unstoppable, 4 winners today at Ponte from 4 starts
- Did you know the admission prices have been REDUCED for 10 of our 16 race meetings in 2023?
- By allocating extra areas of the Stands, we're looking forward to welcoming even more Owners back to Ponte safely for racing on 14th Aug. Sole Owners have 4 badges per runner and Syndicates will now have 6 badges per horse. We look forward to seeing more Owners back at Ponte soon
- What a horse 👏 Nine-year-old Copper Knight makes all to win the John Winter & Co 60th Birthday Handicap for @EasterbyTim and @sb_kirrane 🏆
