Brighton Races History

The horse with the most wins at a track which does favour course specialists is Pour La Victoire who achieved his eleventh victory at the course in 2021 at the age of 11 and duly had the winners’ suite at the track named after him. Trainer Tony Carroll retired him after that famous win.

Sheikh Mohammed had his first British victory at the track with Hatta, trained by John Dunlop in June 1977.
