In 1953 an infamous coup was attempted by a criminal gang.A fast "ringer" was substituted for a useless animal and the "winner" was backed throughout the country at attractive 10/1 odds.The gang cut all communications to the track (this was in 1953 when probably the only way of contacting the course was by a couple of telephone lines) to prevent bookmakers from backing,and reducing odds,of the backed horse.Bookmakers were fully aware of the attempted coup,Scotland Yard was called in,nobody got paid,and the ringleaders were bought to court and punished.

During World War II racing was suspended and the Bath track was used as an airfield for the RAF.
