Old Time Heat Racing From Ballys Magazine
In early racing heats were common and public favorites though their origins are unclear. The York September 1700 gold cup in four mile heats saw Wart, Stout, Metcalf, and others row through multiple heats. A famous dead heat between Button and Milkmaid led to Brisk being awarded the race. Jockey fights and disputes affected outcomes and cups. Five years later Duchess and Foxhunter contested the Queen Anne cup with disputed heats, lawsuits, and a cup preserved in trust. The 1719 victory went to Buckhunter for the Earl of Carlisle.
