Brighton 1 Mile
Brighton is very much a course for the specialist, some horses thrive there and some hate it. You can see from the diagram that it is like a rollercoaster with constant undulations, and is generally downhill most of the way until the final furlong. What is also an issue which can't be seen from the diagram is the camber on the course similar to Epsom, which causes some horses to get very unbalanced and hang.
- The route also contains a downhill section.
- The changing gradients test balance and rhythm.
- The camber can make balance especially important.
What this may mean for betting
Consider whether each runner has the speed, balance and stamina required by this particular gradient.
Proven form at the course or on a similar track can be especially useful.
