History of Horse Racing

While Thoroughbred Racing was established as far back as the Ancient Greeks, the origins of modern racing developed in the UK with the introduction of Arab stallions brought back from the Crusades in the 12th Century. The next significant step towards professional racing was 6 centuries later with race courses becoming established throughout the country and the setting up of the great classic races - the St Leger (1776), the Oaks (1779), the Derby (1780) the 2,000 Guineas (1809) and the 1,000 Guineas (1814).
