Tracks originated in Europe. Most European ancestors had imbalanced legs, where their left leg was slightly shorter than the right leg. Thus, it was easier for them to run counter clockwise on the curve.

The earth naturally rotates counterclockwise so you're actually covering less distance running counterclockwise. The fastest(shortest) 400m tracks are the ones built east to west at high Latitudes because of this phenomena.
If this is the case it does not mean that this is the reason they decided to run in that direction. There is no evidence I can find that this is what caused races to be run anticlockwise
The old white city stadium was also a dog track. They also run anticlockwise
