Racing Calendar


Racing Calendar is the horseracing official publication of the Jockey Club. John Cheny published the first calendar in 1727, titled Historical List, and maintained annual publication until his death in 1751. Several calendars appeared, by various publishers.
In 1773 the periodical was taken over and published by James Weatherby, who in 1770 had been appointed as Keeper of the Match Book for the Jockey Club. Weatherbys continued to own and publish the calendar until 1902 when the Jockey Club finally purchased it.
