While Thoroughbred Racing was established as far back as the Ancient Greeks, the origins of modern racing developed in the UK with the introduction of Arab stallions brought back from the Crusades in the 12th Century. The next significant step towards professional racing was 6 centuries later with race courses becoming established throughout the country and the setting up of the great classic races - the St Leger (1776), the Oaks (1779), the Derby (1780) the 2,000 Guineas (1809) and the 1,000 Guineas (1814).
The UK Jockey Club was the first governing body for the sport as we know it today, founded in the 1750's.The British Horseracing Board became the governing body in 1993, though the Jockey club still has an important role in English racing.
