Brighton
Summary (for full review click link below)
Situated on the Downs above Brighton the course is horseshoe shaped, a mile and a half in length, and is one of those courses that does not have a complete circuit.
The course is very undulating. The first three furlongs are uphill followed by a downhill run entering the home straight, before rising in the final 2 furlongs. There is a marked camber towards the inside of the track.
The circuit is left handed (anti-clockwise) and horses who have performed well at Brighton previously are worth following. The course stages flat racing only.
Admission:
Brighton operates a dual enclosure policy. The Premier enclosure costs £18 (£20 August festival) and the Grandstand enclosure costs £13 (£15 August festival), concessions £9 (£10). Under 16’s free.
Location:
East of Brighton, the racecourse is signposted from both the A23 and A27. The signposting will take you away from the congestion of the city centre.
Ease of public transport access: Moderate (Rail to Brighton then courtsey bus)
Suitability for the first time racegoer: good
