Ngong Race Course and Golf Park

This guide to Ngong Race Course and Golf Park in Nairobi opens with a lion chasing a zebra straight across the track mid-race in nineteen oh three, scattering horses and jockeys in every direction. It follows the club as it left that vanished downtown course for Ngong Road in nineteen fifty-four, modeling its new grandstand on England's Ascot, and traces the Kenya Derby back to nineteen fourteen. African jockeys were already dominating the field by nineteen nineteen, though the newspapers of the day listed them only as natives, with no name attached.
