OVERLAND PARK RACECOURSE |
|
| Overland Park Racecourse was situated in
Denver and can trace its history back to 1887. In that year Henry Wolcott bought Jewell
Park and set about renaming it Overland Park. |
| |
The Jockey Club was formed and Overland Racecourse came
into being. A Denver directory of 1892 lists the Superintendent of the Overland Jockey
Club as James H Temple. |
|
| Further evidence exists of a Grand Summer
Meeting taking place in 1908 which was organised by the Overland Jockey Club. |
