BRIGHTON Racecourse

Brighton Racecourse, Brighton, East Sussex BN2 2XZ

Tel: 01273-603580

The course forms a horseshoe of 1m 4f round with easy turns and a run-in of three and a half furlongs. The first three furlongs are slightly uphill. Then there is a gentle descent and rise to about four furlongs from home. From there the ground falls steeply until about two furlongs out; then a sharp rise with the last 100y level. The sharp track, reminiscent of Epsom with its pronounced gradients, is unsuitable for big, long striding animals, but it suits sharp sorts and is something of a specialists' course. Low draw gives clear advantage on the shorter distances.

By Road: East of town on A27 (Lewes Road). There is a car park adjoining the course.
Courtesy bus from Brighton rail station to racecourse (approx. 3 miles).
