Lingfield Park Racecourse History

The Surrey racecourse of Lingfield, on the edge of London, held its first National Hunt meeting on Saturday 15th November 1890 at a time when a number of other London fringe courses were opening. Hurst Park, in the Sunbury-on-Thames area, and Gatwick to the south of the capital both opened within a year of Lingfield, competing for the same crowds. A lowly Selling race launched that first card, with Old Tatt prevailing, but fortunately old tatt in no way described the glorious new surroundings and beautiful open countryside around the course. Within four years the course had introduced Flat racing, the opening meeting taking place on Wednesday 16th May 1894 graced by the Prince of Wales. The Globe reported on the meeting which began with a lowly Selling race over 5 furlongs with the result shown below. The course closed for the duration of the War, but in 1920 Gordon Richards had his first ride in public when Clock Work, carrying just 6st 9lb, failed to win. In 1927 the grandstand was completed, while the first Lingfield Derby trial was staged in 1932, Lingfield having many similarities with Epsom. That first trial was won by April the Fifth in the hands of F.Lane, with an Oaks Trial following a year later. Once again the course closed between 1939 and 1945 when used as a Prisoner of War camp, but was relaunched in 1946 when Major John Crocker Bulteel was at the helm. In 1974 Lingfield’s very future was in danger when the owners, the Beckwith-Smith family, put it on the market, but the Ladbrokes boss, Cyril Stein, formed a consortium to purchase it for half a million. Ron Muddle bought it in 1982; Leisure Investments in 1988; and by 1989 a meeting on 30th October launched Lingfield as the first all-weather course. Currently the course stages 86 fixtures annually.

Lingfield continues to thrive today, whereas nearby Tunbridge Wells closed its gates for the final time in 1851.

Whilst there is an indication racing took place in Tunbridge Wells as early as 1738, the earliest record of a two day meeting in the town was from Tuesday 10th to Wednesday 11th August 1824 when the opening Freeholders Plate over 2 miles was won by Mr Waller’s Irene. Meetings were very popular, well supported events which continued to be staged for the next 27 years. The meeting in 1834 was a very special occasion because the Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria attended the races, and maybe this was a sign of things to come, because in 1909 King George VII recognised the popularity of the spa with members of the Royal Family and granted the town the ‘Royal’ prefix. The final meeting was staged on Thursday 11th September 1851. Racing resumed in 1856 just down the road at Tonbridge and continued until 11th September 1874.
