Hurst Park Racecourse


Hurst Park Racecourse was a racecourse at Moulsey Hurst, West Molesey, Surrey. It was first laid out in 1890 and part of it was kept as public access to the riverside park, Hurst Park, with the remainder sold for the building of the present varied height residential housing in 1962. The Triumph Hurdle was run here from 1939 until the course closed. The last race to be held here was the Byfleet Stakes, the 4.30 on Wednesday 10 October 1962, was won by the 11/8 favourite Anaasa.[1]. Mansfield Town F.C. bought one of the grandstands for later use as the West Stand at Field Mill.

In October 1941 "A" Company of the 70th Bn. The Middlesex Regiment D.C.O moved into Hurst Park Racecourse for several months before moving to Hounslow Barrack with the rest of the Battalion.
