Ripon was also the location of the first horse race exclusively for lady riders. The racecourse has been at its current location on Boroughbridge road since 1900 and this map was first produced in 1903. The course stands 100 feet above sea level with a right-handed running line. It is one mile and three quarters in circumference with two turns in its outline. A road intercepts the course at the turn and another crosses the going between the one and a half and the one and a quarter miles. All the races start on a straight line from the ‘gate’ except the one and a half miles which is just on the top turn. There is a rattling good gallop on the far side for half a mile. Condition: New. Sent rolled. This is one of a number of these maps that we are currently posting. Please view our other listings or enter 'hornseysracing' in the keyword box.
