Lingfield horse racing course events and racecourse info
Lingfield Park racecourse is one of the oldest established premier race courses in the UK, known as 'leafy Lingfield' because of its gorgeous
setting in the heart of the Surrey countryside. Lingfield Park is the only all weather Polytrack course in Britain and offers year-round Flat racing.
Lingfield also has a turf track, staging Jump meetings from December through to the end of March. The new Polytrack put in over the last few years has rejuvenated the racing at the track. It is now attracting the best of Horses as the surface is so true. The Polytrack success has opened the way for more such all weather tracks to be opened around the country.
