Horse Racing - Flat Courses - Lingfield

Lingfield Park Resort holds the distinction of being the only racecourse in the UK to stage racing of all three types – Flat Turf, Flat All-Weather and National Hunt. Established as a racecourse in 1890, ‘leafy’ Lingfield quickly became a popular venue due to its location close to the borders of Surrey, Sussex and Kent.



Principal races on the turf are the Derby and Oaks trials held in mid-May. The Derby Trial has been won in the past by future Derby winners April The Fifth, Mid-Day Sun, Tulyar, Parthia, Teenoso, Slip Anchor, Kahyasi and High-Rise while User Friendly, Lady Carla and Ramruma all went on to success in the Oaks.

Left handed. Round course is about a mile and a half in length, which intersects the straight, of seven furlongs and one hundred and forty yards, nearly half a mile out. The downhill turn into the straight means that those poaching an advantage at this point are hard to reel in. Essentially a sharp course, putting a premium on speed and adaptability, though the whole complexion of the course changes when the going becomes testing.
