Saturday 21st February 2026
Warm up your winter with two standout events in the all-weather flat racing season—the prestigious Winter Derby and the fast and furious Hever Sprint Stakes, both taking place at Lingfield Park Racecourse on Saturday 21st February 2026.
One of the UK's premier Listed races, the Winter Derby features top-class middle-distance thoroughbreds tackling 1M 2F on Lingfield’s famous Polytrack surface. The 2025 winner, Royal Champion, delivered a powerful performance for trainer Karl Burke and jockey Clifford Lee, reinforcing the race’s reputation for showcasing future flat racing stars.
Just as thrilling is the Hever Sprint Stakes, a Listed five-furlong dash that tests sheer speed and timing. In 2025, the title was claimed by Clarendon House, a seasoned six-year-old trained by Robert Cowell and ridden by Sean Levey, electrifying the crowd with a powerful finish.
Enjoy the best of all the sports at Lingfield Park, with the Six Nations being televised live throughout the day.
