Sandown Racecourse History

The Sandown racecourse opened its gates for racegoers in 1875. At the time, a racecourse charging an entrance fee was unheard of. However, its owners charged half a crown as the entrance fee, making it the first-ever racecourse to charge racegoers an entrance fee. Apart from that, this racecourse was the first to install a member’s member-exclusive stand. As of today, this enclosure is standard. But back then, it was a sign of status and only for distinguished members.

On the opening day of the opening, the race organizers encouraged men to bring their wives and kids to the races. This was aimed at promoting etiquette and making it as family-friendly as possible. Later, it would be known as the “ladies” recourse because men proudly brought their wives and daughters to the events. It rained on an inaugural day, but the fans still came out in large numbers.

The Queen Mother raised the status of this racecourse by attending several of its events. One of her favourite horses, Special Cargo, participated in this race in 1984 and won the Gold Cup, previously known as the Whitbread Cup.

The racecourse owners have always reinvigorated the course to preserve its modernity. In 1972, they went the extra mile to build a new grandstand with a 7600 capacity. Thirty years later, they would pump in a whopping £ 23 million for further redevelopments.

This money helped to re-do the grandstand and build the New Eclipse Pavilion. The course continues to provide both jump and flat racing. The only other course that does this is Haydock Park.

The Sandown Course

Flat Course

The Sandown racecourse is flat, right-handed, and oval. Although the racecourse has a significantly flat straight track, it also tends to rise gradually for about 5 furlongs.

Its sprint course favours the horses on the far side rail. A horse with enough stamina to handle the uphill part of the track has better odds of winning the race.

Hurdle Course

The jump or hurdle track at the racecourse is also oval. However, its turns are significantly sharp.

The Hurdle course offers one of the most sought-after steeplechase actions across the UK. With seven fences, this course never disappoints the fans.

A horse that likes to start at the front of the pack has higher odds of winning a race held here in optimal conditions.

Chase Course

The Chase course is another incredible track at the Sandown racecourse. This section has high jumps that challenge both the jockey and their horses to the core. If a horse lags on the Chase course, it has to race at an extraordinary speed to catch up.

Sandown Park’s Main Racing Events

The Group 1 Eclipse Stakes

The Eclipse Stakes is an exciting and challenging race for horses aged three years and above. This race is 1 mile, one furlong, and 201 yards. It takes place in July each year.

The race organisers called it the Eclipse because it was the first run after the eclipse. Its first prize for the winner was a staggering £10,000. From 1986 until now, Coral has sponsored the eclipse race. This explains why people call it the “Coral Eclipse.

Tingle Creek Chase

The Tingle Creek Chase is a thrilling Grade 1 National Steeple Chase. This race is predominantly for horses aged four and above. The race stretches for 2 miles, 7 furlongs, and 119 yards, and the horses have to jump over 3 fences. It takes place in December each year.

The race organisers named this race after “Tingle Creek”, a top-tier horse that dominated several races in 1970.

Imperial Cup Day

The Imperial is a competitive Grade 3 National Hunt race. Horses aged four years or older can participate in this race. Its distance is about 2 miles. The horses have to jump over eight hurdles to complete the race. The race takes place in March each year.

The organizers of this race launched it in 1907. A decade later, Trespasser, one of the fastest racing horses at the time, won it 3 times.

Brigadier Gerard Stakes

As one of the finest thoroughbred races in the UK, Brigadier Gerard falls in the Group 3 horse races category. It is run over a distance of 1 mile, 1 furlong, and 209 yards.

Launched in 1953, its organizers first named it the “Coronation Race.” This title commemorated Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. In 1973, they changed its title to Brigadier Gerard Stakes, meant to honour one of the greatest retired racehorses.

Celebration Chase

This is a 1 mile, 7 furlongs, and 119 yards Grade 1 National Hunt Steeplechase. To complete the race, horses must jump over 13 fences. The Celebrations Chase race takes place in April every year.
