It’s hard to believe — what with the plethora of spectator and recreational sports we have available to us today — that just over 200 years ago, there were only two professional sports to choose from: horse racing and boxing. In Regency-era England, you were either off to the races or off to a rumble if you were looking for a sporting good time. Recreationally, there were quite a few fun options to choose from, but horse racing, particularly for elite men, was the main action of the day. “They were always leaving London to dash off to new markets to bet on horses,” says Bridgerton historian Hannah Greig. “Most of them truly loved horses. They owned shares in horses, invested in them in many ways. Horse racing was a massive deal and was the main sporting event structured around the season.”Newmarket, Ascot Heath, Doncaster Racecourse, and Epsom Downs all still exist and were popular for a day out for the people of the ton, then and now. Chester Racecourse was established in 1539 and is recognized as the world’s oldest horse-racing establishment still in operation. Remember the Sharma sisters at the races in season two of Bridgerton?
