Lot Essay

The Warwick Racecourse in Warwick, England held its first race in 1694, to raise money for the town after it was devastated by the Great Fire. The first race at what is now Warwick Racecourse was held in 1707 and its first grandstand was constructed in 1808. Many notable jockeys have raced at Warwick, including Lester Piggot and John Francombe.
