THE HISTORY OF CARLISLE RACECOURSE
-
Description
Racing at Carlisle was first recorded way back in 1559 at Swift (the racing venue prior to that used today) during the second year of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign, when the Carlisle gold bell, donated by Lady Dacre, was presented for the first time.... In 1904, the racecourse was moved to its present day Blackwell location, with its first grandstand appearing not long after...... On the 2nd July 1929, Carlisle was part of a significant moment in British horse racing when the newly-formed Tote (Totalisator Board) operated their betting for the first time on a British racecourse. -
