Flat (turf and all-weather) and National Hunt
Near Sunbury-on-Thames and a few miles from the M25, Kempton, opened in 1878, has made very significant improvements to its facilities in recent years, and attracts an enthusiastic following particularly over the jumps: the year’s highlights are Boxing day, with the King George VI Chase, and the February pre-Cheltenham meeting, featuring the Racing Post Chase. The Kempton track is a right-handed triangle, with a straight six furlongs cutting across the middle and a spur for ten furlong races. It is quite flat and sharp, putting the emphasis for jumpers on speed rather than stamina. There is also now an all weather polytrack for flat racing throughout the year. Kempton now also hosts a breeze-up sale if you're in the market for an un-raced two-year-old!
Major races: Flat - Easter Stakes, Queen’s Prize, Roseberry Handicap, September Stakes.
Jumps - King George VI Chase, Christmas Hurdle, Racing Post Chase.
Celebrations: The 3 Horseshoes at Laleham is 5 miles from junction 13 off the M25. This is an ancient tavern serving a good selection of wines and a good selection of food too (Tel: 01784 455014). The Castle at Ottershaw is a couple of miles from junction 11 and is a quiet retreat to digest a day's racing (Tel: 01932 872373).
