Manchester Racecourse was a venue for horse racing located at a number of sites around the Manchester area including; Kersal Moor, New Barnes, Weaste and Castle Irwell, Pendleton, then in Lancashire. The final home of the course, Castle Irwell, was closed in 1963. Despite its name, the course was never actually located within the boundaries of the ancient township of Manchester or the subsequent city of Manchester. == Location and history ==
The earliest known horse races in the Manchester area were run at Barlow Moor, first recorded in 1647, and again from 1697-1701 and the earliest record of horse-racing on Kersal Moor is from a notice in the ''London Gazette'' of 2–5 May 1687.〔Farrer, William and Brownbill, J. (editors) (1911). 'Townships: Broughton', ''A History of the County of Lancaster'': Volume 4, pp. 217–222. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=41408. Date accessed: 20 February 2008〕 There were a number of other short-lived courses or one-off steeplechases at, for example, Heaton Park (1827–38), Eccles (1839), Harpurhey (1845) and Stretford (on the site of the Old Trafford Cricket Ground, 1841 and 1852-4). But from 1687-1847 Kersal Moor was the main racing venue for Manchester.〔〔
