Lincoln Racecourse

Lincoln Racecourse

Lincoln Racecourse is a former horse racing venue to the west of the city of Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England.

Lincoln Council is backing an ambitious plan to reopen the course by 2013. Racecourse inspectors have visited the former course and have confirmed that there is no reason in principle why racing could not recommence.

The Lincoln Handicap (or Lincolnshire Handicap) is a flat horse race in the United Kingdom for four-year-old and above thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres) at Doncaster Racecourse in late March or early April.

The race was first run in 1858 at Lincoln Racecourse, Lincoln, and was relocated to Doncaster in 1965 following the closure of its original venue. It is the first major handicap race of the British flat racing season.
