Lingfield Racing Tips

The Derby and Oaks trials are well worth watching, because the downhill run into the straight mirrors the approach to Tattenham Corner at Epsom and horses that handle this well should do so in the classics too.

Most recently, the 2019 Derby trial was won by Anthony Van Dyck, who went on to triumph at Epsom. Lingfield is a sharp course, with an emphasis on speed rather than stamina.

Mark Johnston and John Gosden are among the leading trainers on the all-weather surface here, while horses owned by the Godolphin stable and Khalid Abdullah have impressive strike rates.

Local trainers Gary Moore and Zoe Davison have good records at Lingfield races, while Gavin Sheehan and Aidan Coleman’s mounts are worth noting.

The jockey's view

By Bryony Frost - Most successful female jump jockey in history

They run the bumpers on the sand at Lingfield Racecourse so it’s all a bit unknown for young horses, but if they have a breeding that suggests they might be a bit sharp they might be one to follow on the sand.

On the turf it can get very soft, they actually lose a fair few meetings there because of it. There’s a flat home straight after you swing downhill into the bend. The back side of the course is always slightly curving to the left and you get to the brow of the hill and into the straight. You want your race covered before that. The straight is long and flat so some like to swing wider for it.

Lingfield Races Behind Closed Doors

Lingfield races are currently being run behind closed doors because of the ongoing COVID-19 situation.

This is set to be reviewed and updated in line with government advice, with Lingfield park racecourse keen to welcome back punters as soon as it is safe to do so.

It’s still worth checking Lingfield races fixtures because the decision to allow spectators in could change. If you book tickets to a Lingfield Racecourse event that is then moved to behind closed doors, refunds will be processed through the official course website.
