Intrigued more than anything as unsure who actually runs them or what is in them.

Thanks in advance.

Which Racecourse?? Seen a few diffrent ponds stuck in the middle of the Racetrack when watching the Racing. Often wondered if there's any carp in them. As you do as a carp angler..

The only one I know that is, or was fishable was Kempton. Races.

If your thinking of combining your fishing with watching the Races. I think you'll find the corses that have lakes don't allow fishing on race days... spoil sports..

Another one I have thought about from when I used to go to the race's in the 70's is Mallory Park. But, it is a motorcycling race track but it does have club fisheries in the middle of it but looking them up they are just general coarse fisheries with carp predominant up to 20lb and you have to be a member of the club to fish them
