	County Cricket Ground, Derby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The County Cricket Ground, usually shortened to County Ground and previously known as the Racecourse Ground, is a cricket ground in Derby and has been the home of Derbyshire County Cricket Club since at least 1871.
		It also held the games of Derby County until their move to the Baseball Ground in 1895.
		The first FA Cup final outside London was held at the ground in 1886 when Blackburn Rovers beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 in a replay.

	FA Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Drawn replays are now settled with extra time and kicks from the penalty mark (penalty shootouts), though in the past further replays were possible, and some ties took as many as six matches to settle.
		The semi-finals are contested at neutral venues; in the past these have usually been the home grounds of teams not involved in that semi-final, such as Old Trafford in Manchester, Villa Park in Birmingham and Hillsborough in Sheffield.
		In 1903 Bury defeated Derby County 6-0, in what is still the highest score in an FA Cup final.

	Derby County
		In the BASEBALL GROUND, their home for over 100 years, they also had one of the most evocative grounds in the country where some of the greatest names in British Football played for the Rams week in, week out.
		The early years of the 1900's was dominated by STEVE BLOOMER, a prominent Derby striker, whose record of 332 goals for the Rams (to 1913) is unlikely ever to be beaten, at least not in the current football climate.
		After escaping from that division two years later, Derby spent the early part of the 1960s struggling in the Second Division, but it was only in the later half of the decade that saw the Rams making several important signings that was to lead to the most successful decade in their history.

	2003 Kentucky Derby Preps - April 5
		Three major Kentucky Derby preps were run on Saturday, the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby, the Grade 2 Illinois Derby at Hawthorne, and the Aventura Stakes at Gulfstream.
		These should be the final starts before the Kentucky Derby for most of the entrants, with the Santa Anita Derby being the final major prep on the west coast and the Illinois Derby having the distinction of being the race won by last year's dual classic winner War Emblem.
		We're definitely thinking (Kentucky) Derby for him, but we have to get him back to the barn and make sure everything is all right with him before we make that kind of decision.

	Manx racecourses
		The first racecourse noted was that instituted by James VIIth earl of Derby who organised races on a piece of land extending rather more than a mile across the peninsula of Langness - a description of one of these in 1687 was entered at the Rolls Office.
		Land at Langness continued to be known as the racecourse though it would seem that races were athletics rather than horse-racing.
		The next racecourse was one established at the Strang, adjacent to the newly opened Lunatic Asylum,(probably on the same field as one-time used for the Strang Fair in the early 19th century), which was opened on Thursday and Friday, July 14 and 15, 1870

	Cricinfo - Grounds - County Ground, Derby
		Known as The Racecourse Ground for many years, Derbyshire's ground has often looked in the same dilapidated state as the team.
		Due to its horsey location, the ground can often be exposed to the elements, especially during a typical April or May day, so only the hardiest of supporters (and Derbyshire fans need to be a hardy bunch) will watch from the stands.
		Perhaps the most famous part of the ground is Carol's Cabin, a food caravan that serves some of best pies on the county circuit.

	The Baseball Ground, Derby, Derbyshire - Photographs and History of the former DCFC ground
		The baseball ground became the permanent home of Derby County in 1895, when the footballing section of Derbyshire Cricket Club decided it could perform better if it moved from the Racecourse (Nottingham road).
		The ground became the property of the club on July 3rd 1924 when it was sold by Sir Francis Ley for £10,000.
		Derby County were promoted to the first division in 1926 and a new main stand was built on Shaftesbury Crescent costing £16,000.

	Soccerphile :: Liverpool Red Diary 17
		As we approached the Racecourse ground, a local off duty police officer sporting the local colours threatened me with a £100 fine for dropping litter before we got into the ground.
		The derby banter from the terraces was predictably ugly, with references to Liverpool’s responsibility for the Heysel disaster, such as, ‘murderers, murderers’ and ‘thirty-nine Italians can’t be wrong’.
		The mood around the ground was not aided by the fact that a Liverpool fan had defaced the Dixie Dean statue at Everton’s ground on the morning of the Derby, painting the sculpture of the legendary Evertonian red from head to toe.

		If it were not for the fact that in World Cup or European Championship years that would see the Derby clashing with big football fixtures, thus cutting the attendance and viewing figures, many punters might also like to have the Classics delayed.
		On softer ground he redeemed himself and cooled the scorched fingers of forgiving punters by dominating in the Irish 2,000 Guineas.
		He has won other Derbies around the world and three times captured the Arc but it is beginning to madden him that the one he really wants, and which Lester Piggott won nine times in his illustrious career, continues to elude him after 12 attempts.

		This was Habitat's first race on firm ground, and after showing excellent acceleration inside the final furlong, he prevailed by half a length over the filly, with Jimmy Reppin a similar distance away in third.
		Consequently, his final racecourse appearance was destined to be the Prix du Moulin at Longchamp on 'Arc day, a race with more than just prize money and prestige hinging on the result.
		Little Hut's best offspring amongst her nine winners were the fillies Guest Room, a stakes winning daughter of Hail to Reason; and Lodge (by Bold Lad (USA)), the third dam of Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Suave Dancer (by Green Dancer) and granddam of useful juvenile Shicklah (by The Minstrel).
