Brighton Course Guide and Statistics
The course at Brighton
Brighton is a left-handed horseshoe-shaped course. It does not form a complete circuit. The track runs steeply downhill before rising again close to the finish, and the camber means horses can drift towards the inside rail in the straight.
Betting at Brighton
Course specialists are common, as many horses dislike the gradients and camber. Front-runners do well when the ground is fast, and horses drawn low can save ground. The Brighton Festival in August has some competitive handicaps where course form is key.
