Racing has taken place at the Pitchcroft course, close to the banks of the
River Severn, since at least 1718, making Worcester one of the oldest
racecourses in Britain. By the middle of the nineteenth century, several
important races had become well established at the course, including the
Worcester Stakes and the Gold Cup.
The course has undergone many changes, including the layout in 1880 of a
new track that featured a now long-defunct figure-of-eight course. Flat
racing was discontinued in 1966, but the National Hunt meetings continued
to provide competitive racing with large fields.
