Kempton Park is a racecourse and entertainment centre in Sunbury-on-Thames on the south west edge of Greater London. It’s about 15 miles or so from the centre of London. The site was created as a racecourse in the late 19th century. In 2017, the Jockey Club, who currently own Kempton Park announced that it would close the site by 2021 with major races to be moved to other Jockey Club owned courses.
Kempton Park is about 16 miles from Central London, 125 miles from Birmingham, 115 miles from Bristol, 150 miles from Cardiff, 208 miles from Manchester and 407 miles from Edinburgh.
Kempton Park stages National Hunt racing (with fences) and flat racing, with the most famous race being the King George VI Chase held every Boxing Day, a prestigious Grade 1 race. The Kauto Star Novices' Chase (formerly the Feltham Novices' Chase) also takes place on Boxing Day, a Grade 1 race. With similar challenges, past winners of the Kauto Star Novices' Chase and of the King George VI Chase include Kauto Star and Long Run; the following day is the Desert Orchid Chase, a Grade 2 race. On approximately the last weekend of February Kempton Park hosts the Close Brothers Handicap Chase and in early September the course stages the September Stakes race day.
For many years Kempton's Easter meeting (Saturday and Monday) was one of its highlights of the year, with the Roseberry Stakes (over the 1m 2f of the Jubilee course) and the 2,000 Guineas Trial on the first day, followed by the Queen's Prize over 2m, plus the 1,000 Guineas Trial on the Monday.
The old flat course comprised: a right-handed triangular course of about 1m 5f, a straight 6 furlongs course which intersected the back straight of the triangular course, and the 1m 2f Jubilee course which joined the triangular course at the home turn. Races over a mile were run on the Jubilee course or on the triangular course.
The A308 passes by the racecourse and so does the A316 that becomes the M3 motorway. Free parking is available for visitors.
Upper tiers of the grandstand and boxes have views toward Sandown Park 's Esher and Oxshott ridge and the North Downs range of hills. Woodland and parkland forms the backdrop from the grandstand.
Flat racing from 2006 is run on the synthetic track so the historic "Jubilee Course", a mile long spur which joined the main track by the home bend, used for the "Jubilee Handicap" which parred the Cambridgeshire and the Stewards' Cup in seniority, was abandoned. It is now overgrown for racing; however, it joins the outskirts of the park as part of the green belt .
The racecourse was the idea of 19th-century businessman (and Conservative Party agent) S. H. Hyde, who was enjoying a carriage drive in the country when he came across Kempton Manor and Park for sale. Hyde leased the grounds as tenant in 1872 and six years later in July 1878 Kempton opened as a racecourse.
