Steeplechasing

"Steeplechasing has its roots in "pounding matches" held in Ireland in the late 17th century; matches held across haphazardly chosen country until the loser was "pounded" into the ground by being out-lasted by the winner, or fell. Horses were typically heavy animals who could handle rough ground, stay, and jump..".

Ascot

Ascot has connections way back to the early 1700's, when Queen Anne converted a broad flat field near Eascote 'Eastern Cottage' (now Ascot), just south of Windsor Castle and held the first race "Her Majesty's Plate," with a purse of 100 guineas in 1711. It developed into the most popular course in the time of King George in the 1760's. Significant development too place in the 19th Century. Since 1945, more races have been introduced , with twenty-five days of racing now taking place - sixteen Flat meetings (May and October), and nine National Hunt meetings (November to April). The main event is The Royal Meeting, held in June. It is currently being refurbished.

Uttoxeter

Racing in the area of Stoke on Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme took place as early as 1720. In the nineteenth century a range of venues included Lamberts Park Farm, Rocester, Bramshall, Stafford, Stone and Pottery. By the 1890's only the Bramshall meeting survived but faded away to be replaced by an ambitious project at Keele Park, the estate of Ralph Sneyd. Keele Park opened in 1895 but closed by 1906.Following the demise of Keele park a new racecourse company was established and a course was built at Uttoxeter beside the river Dove. The first meeting was staged in May 1907 (Information courtesy of Uttoxeter Race Course; more information)
