The Lingfield Park round course is a left-handed loop of about a mile and a half, which intersects No. 96 2003 Price £5.50 the straight of seven furlongs and 140 yards nearly half a mile out. For nearly half its length the round course is quite flat, then rises with easy gradients to the summit of a slight hill, after Stewards J. J. Aird, Esq., M. C. C. Armitage, Esq., R. Hacking, Esq., The Lord Pender, K. C. S. which there is a downhill turn to the straight. The straight course has a considerable downhill Young, Esq., The Hon. Adam Barker, D. W. Wates, Esq., A. H. M. White, Esq., N. R. Nutting, Esq., gradient to halfway, and is slightly downhill for the rest of the way. The straight course is very D. M. K. Tindall, Esq., Mrs R. W. S. Baker, D. J. Veasey, Esq., Mrs S. Leader, Lady Celina Carter, D. easy, and the track as a whole is sharp, putting a premium on speed and adaptability, and Adam, Esq. making relatively small demands upon stamina, though this does not, of course, apply to races over two miles. The mile-and-a-half course, over which the Derby Trial and the Oaks Trial are run, bears quite close resemblance to the Epsom Derby course. DECLARED RUNNERS LINGFIELD Saturday 10th May DRAW: As has been the tradition on the turf track, high numbers still have the better recent record on the straight course, though the advantage isn’t particularly marked. WITH TODAY’S COURSE-TO-COURSE STALLS: Stand side — straight course.
