Sandown course guide

Major races and meetings
On the Flat, the Group 1 Eclipse Stakes is run in July. Over jumps, the Tingle Creek Chase is run in December, and the jumps season finale in April features the bet365 Gold Cup.
When the main fixtures run
Flat racing runs from April to September; jumps racing runs from November to late April.
Tips for betting at Sandown
The uphill finish is a proper test of stamina, so horses who stay their trip well tend to come into their own. Over fences, the railway fences down the back straight call for accurate jumping. Check the going, especially in winter. 18+ BeGambleAware.org.
