Redcar racecourse
Yorkshire's seaside track, it is oval-shaped and perfectly flat with a circuit of a mile and three-quarters. The Zetland Gold Cup in May and the valuable Two-Year-Old Trophy in October are the main features in a long season.
Described as a fair track, the present racecourse was opened in the 1870s and prior to this Redcar races were held on the sands by the sea.
