Horse Racing - National Hunt 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.

Characteristics

Left handed, undulating. Sharp in character on anything other than soft/heavy ground (though testing conditions do often prevail, and the track suffers more abandonments per meeting than any other jumps course), a handy position into the straight often paying dividends, especially over fences. Straightforward fences which have had a very low casualty rate over recent seasons. Bumper races usually run on the all-weather track nowadays; these are nearly always falsely-run affairs which count against stoutly-bred NH types.
