Every plan here comes from F.H. Bayles's Race Courses Atlas of Great Britain and Ireland, with sheets dated 1903 that map the geography of racing itself. They take in Newmarket Heath, Ascot, Sandown and Kempton, and in Ireland the Curragh, Leopardstown and Punchestown. Each plan shows the shape and setting of its ground, whether the town moor at Doncaster, the Roodee at Chester or the upland site at Goodwood, and several record courses since closed or moved, including Gatwick, Hurst Park, Castle Irwell and the earlier Ayr course.
