One of three courses located in the county of Surrey, Kempton Park is one of the busiest venues in the land, staging both National Hunt action and flat All-Weather meetings. Located around 16 miles to the southwest of London, the track’s extensive flat season runs all year round, with at least one fixture in every calendar month. The most significant contests of the flat campaign are the Group 3 duo of the Sirenia Stakes and September Stakes.
Flat racing may make up the bulk of the fixture list but it is the jumps action for which the track is best known. The National Hunt season operates between the months of October and May and features a total of 10 Graded class contests. The three top-tier Grade 1 events all come at the Christmas Festival, headlined by the historic King George VI Chase.
