Overall, Brighton Racecourse is a popular and historic venue for horse racing and other events, known for its unique track and stunning seaside location.

The course is a flat, left-handed track with a circumference of about 1 mile 2 furlongs. The surface is turf and the course is generally considered to be quite undulating, which can pose a challenge to horses and jockeys. The course also has a relatively sharp bend at the top of the home straight, which can lead to exciting finishes as horses battle for position.

The pronounced gradients make it a track for handy types rather than big, long-striding sorts, though those very enterprisingly ridden can be caught out by the uphill finish.Jockeyship is everything here.
