ヨーク競馬場
Before the establishment of the York Racecourse on the Knavesmire, Acomb Moor was used for staging horse racing. Acomb Moor occupied the land south of Westfield and covered the land where the modern housing estates of Woodthorpe and Acomb Park are located. Acomb also lends its name to "The Acomb Stakes", a Group 3 seven furlong flat race for two-year-old thoroughbreds, which is run at the Knavesmire every August.
