ECLIPSE DAY

SATURDAY 8 JULY

TICKETS FROM £32

Welcome to Gentlemen’s Day at Sandown Park for a spectacular day of summer afternoon Flat racing.

I would firstly like to take this opportunity to thank all of the sponsors on today’s card, an exciting afternoon looks to be in store.

Our feature race today is the Listed Molson Coors Scurry Stakes. In the past the race has been won by the likes of Lazuli, Margot Did and most notably Battaash who is still the only horse to have run the race in under a minute This phenomenal sprinter out of Dark Angel not only won the Scurry Stakes in 2017 but also the Coral Charge, King George Stakes and an emphatic win in the Prix de l’Abbaye all in the same year He would also go on to win The Nunthorpe Stakes and The King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot later in his career The Champion Sprinter was rated 123 at the time of retiring, making him the equal 15th best racehorse in the world and the best sprinter in Europe.

Off track we have the Brass Squad keeping you entertained with their lively music throughout the day as well as lawn games in various shady locations for those wanting a different type of challenge. Ahead of racing listen out for betting tips for the card live from the parade ring and we will have an interactive darts experience in the Grandstand featuring a couple of famous faces from the world of darts.

Keeping you cool and refreshed throughout the day you’ll find plenty of food and beverage options to try, including ice cream carts trackside We have a variety of options located in the Food Court in the Grandstand as well as various concession stands throughout the racecourse

The Coral-Eclipse Summer Festival is rapidly approaching, starting with Ladies Day on Friday 7 July featuring the Style Awards followed by the unmissable Coral-Eclipse Day on Saturday 8 July. To secure your spot, we suggest purchasing tickets in advance through our website www. thejockeyclub.co.uk/sandown for all our events. While the Coral-Eclipse Summer Festival still offers hospitality packages and restaurant reservations, they are in high demand and selling out quickly.

I wish you a splendid time at Sandown Park today and wish the horses and their connections the very best of luck
