Historical Context: The first racing meeting took place at Cork Park in 1869. It was of little attraction to the English stables but was handsomely supported by Irish bloodstock with higher monetary inducements than any of the minor English racing meetings ta the time. With a flat course and a steeple chase course, The Shandon Plate alone had a purse of £850 in 1902. The course was 1 mile 3 furlongs round with no gradients of note. The heavy boulder clay made going very heavy in wet weather. The last meeting took place in April 1917 and the site would become the Ford Industrial Estate.
