End of season finale


Published on Tuesday 13 October 2009 10:46

LEADING two-year-olds – possible stars of the future – are catered for in the principal race at Pontefract's final meeting of 2009 on Monday (October 19), The totepool Silver Tankard Stakes. Racing is scheduled to begin at 2.10pm.

The 17th running of The totepool Silver Tankard Stakes, a 35,000 Listed race for juveniles over one mile, was won last year by Playfellow, trained by Michael Jarvis at Newmarket and ridden by Philip Robinson.

Former course specialist, Bluff Cove is once again honoured in the 19th renewal of The Bluff Cove Handicap Stakes, a race for stayers over two and a quarter miles. Bluff Cove won five long distance races at Pontefract over a decade ago, when trained by Reg Hollinshead. This is the final race in this season's Pontefract Stayers Championship, which incorporates all the races of at least two miles staged this year at the course. The owner, trainer and stable staff of the horse accumulating the most number of points during the series – now in its sixth year – each receive a memento and 1,000.

Going into Monday's finale, Mr Crystal, trained at Middleham in North Yorkshire by Micky Hammond, has an unassailable lead. Ironically, Mr Crystal won this final race last year.

Richard Fahey and his stable jockey, Freddie Tylicki lead their respective categories in the battle to be the top trainer and jockey this season at Pontefract, in the competitions supported by 'In The Frame'. Malton-based Fahey has recorded six winners, while Tylicki (who's having a battle royal with David Probert to be the UK's champion apprentice jockey) – also has half a dozen winners to his credit this term at Pontefract.

Racing is scheduled to beging at 2.10pm.
