[Newton Abbot Races @NewtonAbbotRace]

Somewhere in a drawer, photo album or phone gallery is a memory of Newton Abbot Racecourse.

A winning ticket you've never thrown away.
A photograph of a family day out.
A horse you'll never forget.
A person who always stood beside you in the grandstand.

As Newton Abbot Racecourse celebrates 160 years, we're celebrating the people, moments and memories that have made this racecourse what it is today.

Over the coming months, we'll be collecting stories and artifacts from racegoers past and present and sharing them throughout the season before unveiling a special anniversary exhibition later this year.

Whether your memory is from 1906, 1966, 1996 or last summer, we'd love to hear it. Because the story of Newton Abbot Racecourse isn't just about racing. It's about the people who have been part of it.
Get in contact with Emily to share your story -
[email protected] or call into the main office on a raceday to speak to her.
(Thank you to Newton Abbot Museum for allowing the use of these pictures)

⚪️🔵THIRD TEAM RESULT🔵⚪️

@OfficalBAFC Res 3-2 Spurs 3rds

A performance to be proud of tonight!

Spurs arguably the better side for most of the game even after going down to 10 men. No points on the board but plenty of positives to take!

Fantastic evening seeing the 3rds lift the Fred Hewings Cup after a well fought game! Fully deserved after a difficult season. The boys had gone behind twice but eventually won on pens!
