London's Night At The Races

 

Affectionately known as London's Night At The Races, Star Sports Brigadier Gerard Evening is the evening meeting that you don't want to miss. Taking it's place at the top of the pile as Britain's richest evening meeting, it promises to deliver another memorable year this year. 

 

Right in heart of spring and with summer in sight, this evening has seen many a champion set foot out on the hallowed turf, and many a celebration off it! This year, the party continues as Definitely Oasis take to the stage, bringing the unmistakable sound of Oasis to Sandown Park.

 

Join us for a fantastic evening of quality racing including two Group 3 races - The Star Sports Henry II Stakes and The Star Sports Brigadier Gerard Stakes.

Expect a set packed with the anthems everyone knows and loves – you might find yourself singing along to Wonderwall, feeling like a Rock ’n’ Roll Star, and soaking up those Champagne Supernova moments. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a summer evening of racing and music at Sandown Park.

With two Group 3 races, The Brigadier Gerard Stakes and The Henry II Stakes, the atmosphere comes alive at Britain's richest evening meeting. Horses that win these race often go on to win at some of the biggest fixtures throughout the summer. In 2022 Bay Bridge won the Brigadier Gerard Stakes before going on to win the Champion Stakes, one of the most prestigious races anywhere in the world, at Ascot later that year. Both races are proven hunting grounds for Champions and this year looks to be no different.
