Newbury Racecourse History

Although the article below charts the history of the current Newbury Racecourse, situated in the Greenham area of Newbury, prior to 1905 race meetings were held in the Newbury area at a number of different locations, namely Wash Common (1738-77), Enborne Heath (1805-41), East Woodhay (1812-15), Northcroft (1805-15), Sydmonton (1839), Thatcham (1865) and Victoria Park (late 19th Century).

The inaugural two day meeting at Newbury was held on Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th September 1905, attracting a crowd in excess of 15,000 to witness Copper King win the first race at 100/7. Newspaper extracts from that initial meeting, as well as the very first race result and very first Handicap held at Newbury are shown below courtesy of British Newspapers Online. The course was built on land owned by Mr L.H.Baxendale who became the Chairman of Newbury Racecourse Company. It had been John Porter’s idea to build a racecourse to serve the many training establishments in the area, but his early attempt was thwarted when the Jockey Club turned down his application. Fortunately King Edward VII got wind of this and gave the application the boost it needed. The Newbury Spring Cup was launched in 1906 when won by Succory, while the Autumn Cup, over 2 miles 1 furlong, went to The White Knight. It was two years later that Spate won the first running of the Summer Cup. King Edward VII's Minoru, carrying 9st 10lbs, won the Greenham Stakes, a race which had been established three years earlier, and later went on to win the 2000 Guineas and the Derby. The course closed between 1916 and 1918 when used as an inspection depot by the War Office, and did not reopen until 1919. It was a sad day in 1922 when John Porter died, for he was Managing Director and the driving force behind Newbury racecourse. The substitute Derby was planned for Newbury in 1940, but the War effort prevented this from happening. The course closed between 1941 and 1945 and was left close to ruin after the Second World War when used by the Americans as a marshalling yard; twenty-two miles of sidings had left their mark. Racing resumed on All Fools Day in 1949 when Geoffrey Freer became Clerk of the Course, and he was honoured in 1966 when the Geoffrey Freer Stand and New Members Grandstand were opened. The showpiece race at Newbury is the Hennessy Gold Cup which was first staged in 1957 at Cheltenham, but moved to its permanent home for the 1960 renewal when won by Knucklecracker. Arkle was beaten by Mill House in 1963, but gained sweet revenge in 1964, and repeated his success in 1965. The Schweppes Gold Trophy was launched in 1963 at Aintree, but came to Newbury the next year when won by Rosyth. Currently the course hosts 30 fixtures annually.

This badge was issued when Newbury first opened in October 1905. The badge lasted 15 months, throughout 1905 and 1906.

Newbury continues to thrive today, whereas nearby Lambourn closed its gates for the final time in 1878.

The first recorded racing in the Berkshire village of Lambourn was in 1690 when a two day meeting took place during Easter week on Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th March 1690. Whilst it is likely that meetings were a regular occurrence, the next occasion when results were reported in Baily’s Racing Register was from the meeting held on Friday 14th May 1734 with the 30 Guineas Prize landed by Mr Cole’s Foxhunter. The racecourse was located at the Rubbing House, close to Weathercock Hill, to the east of Ashdown House and the west of Seven Barrows. Racing was well supported by the great and good of racing throughout its near two centuries of staging meetings. Today Lambourn remains home to over 30 prominent racing stables, and its famous gallops continue to prepare Derby, Gold Cup and Champion Hurdle winners, but maybe the location of the town and challenging transport links prevented it from further developing its racecourse.The final meeting took place on Tuesday 2nd July 1878.

A number of visitors to the site have questioned why these Newbury badges are non-enameled. I am grateful to a prominent Members badge expert who makes the following observations, “ I am not certain Newbury executives will know what they are, although they do have a similar unenameled badge in their racecourse collection that is dated 1951. However, they also have enameled ladies and gents badges for that year. It’s possible that they were for one of the other membership classes-The Story of Newbury Racecourse notes that the 1951 club subscriptions included Original Members Gentlemen and Ladies (£12-12-6) , Gentleman and Lady (£25), Gentleman or Lady single (£14), Trainer member and Lady (£5), Gentleman and Lady NH rules only (£14) and Gentleman or Lady NH rules only (£7). My own personal guess is that they are either NH or Trainer Members badges, although I suppose that it is possible Newbury underestimated the demand for full members badges and had to order more at short notice, hence the lack of enamel. However, that seems unlikely given that it happened in successive years.”
