During the 1580s the Queen was present on several occasions at a horse race, described variously as âat Croydonâ or ânear Croydonâ. No evidence has come to light that she attended any other public race meeting, so that the royal visits to the Croydon race assume a special significance in the history of the Turf. A check-list of all of the Queen's known visits to Croydon is given, together with transcripts of the manuscripts from which extracts in modernised spelling are given in this section, or to which reference is made.
