Horse Racing - Flat Courses - Sandown

Located in the leafy Surrey suburb of Esher, Sandown Park stages top quality racing on the flat and over jumps throughout the year. The course has three distinct highlights; the Bet365 Gold Cup in April, the Eclipse Stakes in July and the Tingle Creek Chase in December.



Sandown’s sole Group 1 race in the Coral-Eclipse, which is run over a mile and a quarter in early July and invariably attracts a top quality field, as is highlighted just by looking at the roll-of-honour since 2000, which includes star performers Giant’s Causeway, Falbrav, Sea The Stars, Nathaniel and Golden Horn.

Right handed, oval-shaped course thirteen furlongs in length with a straight of half a mile. Essentially a fair, galloping course which places the emphasis on stamina courtesy of a gradual climb from the home turn. On soft ground the jockeys sometimes tack across to the stand side in the straight and this can lead to horses racing wide apart. The five-furlong track runs across the main circuit and rises steadily throughout.
