Rochester will always be infamous for the well documented 'Coup' that is alleged to have taken place at the track. The track was situated at the Greater London Stadium on City Way in Rochester and first opened for racing on 1st June 1936. It continued to race successfully until the gates finally closed on 4th October 1979.
