Update on Sandown Park this morning re Saturday…

Some good news from Sandown Park this morning….


Latest from Sandown Park

Good day’s jumping Sandown Park yesterday after a challenging week for the team. Glad it’s a mainly dry week to get it back.


An ever-present in my time in racing and a wonderful supporter of the great races Epsom Downs Racecourse - Sinndar, Harzand and most recently Ezeliya on my watch. Thank you, and rest in peace.

Welcome to Epsom Downs Racecourse to George, Candida and the team. Wonderful to have the historic Downs House back !

Latest conditions Sandown Park ahead of the Royal Artillery Meeting this Thursday…

Mummy Derry getting a feel of Sandown Park ahead of the Weatherbys Limited Jane Seymour today. Best of luck to connections, and thanks to Willie Mullins for sending her over. Testing over hurdles, better over fences.

Next Tuesday, February 25, sees the first entry stage for the 2025 @betfred Derby Epsom Downs Racecourse. The dream starts here…


This should be good and well worth staying on for after racing Sandown Park on March 8.



Congratulations to George Baker ! Up and running from Downs House overlooking Epsom Downs Racecourse. The first of many….


Great to see the Turner silks winning the Turner Trophy Fakenham Racecourse today. Grew up watching those silks dominate East Anglian Point to Pointing in the mid-70s. Often needed first run I recall.


Car park one day, Parade Ring the next. April Epsom Downs Racecourse. Not long to the @betfred Spring Meeting on April 22. Dry (and windy) weather getting a bit ridiculous now, but no end in sight.


Very best wishes from all of us Sandown Park on the retirements today of both Nick Scholfield and Alan Johns and good luck for the future. Both always polite, professional and constructive - thank you.
