Thirsk Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, England. The course is a left handed oval of about 1 mile 2 furlongs with a 3 furlong finishing straight and a 6 furlong chute. The present course opened in 1923, but racing had taken place on the old course at nearby Black Hambleton over 200 years earlier.[1][2]
The main road from Ripon to Thirsk runs past the course, and it is very popular with northern trainers.[1]
In 1940 it staged the war-time substitute St. Leger.
