Kempton Park — Results from 21 October 2026
Yesterday’s Kempton card was contested on Polytrack (Standard to Slow, watered) and produced several eye-catching finishes. Viking Glory (9/1) finished strongly to take the 20:30 handicap, while Boatswain (5/1) worked through from the rear to land the 19:00 staying handicap. Caragio (4/1) and Horndean (15/2) both delivered decisive late bursts in the sprint and nursery respectively. In the juvenile events Billy Loughnane enjoyed a productive evening aboard Daddy Star (8/15) and Wannabe Perfect (9/1), the pair both showing authority when asked in their races. There were a number of withdrawals on the day (Augusta Savage, Mo Rocko, Gladiadora, Brave Byreflection and Ridger), and long-priced Marlborough Place (25/1) produced a notable placed effort in the 19:30.
Key takeaways
The card favoured horses able to produce a late turn of foot on the testing Polytrack—several winners came from off the pace and quickened well inside the final furlong. Jockeys who timed their runs into the dip and final furlong were rewarded, with Billy Loughnane prominent among the riders of note.

Kempton Race Results
Kempton Park is best known as the host of the Grade 1 King George VI Chase on Boxing Day, one of the most prestigious prizes in jump racing. King George ante-post odds are available all season but Kempton also stages frequent flat racing on one of the busiest all-weather tracks in Britain. The floodlit all-weather track opened in 2006 and stages most of Kempton’s 70-plus fixtures a year.
GG publishes full Kempton Park race results as quickly as possible on the website. You can find all UK and Ireland racing results on the dropdown menu in the top left-hand corner. If you click on each race title it will bring up the complete finishing order including SP and Tote returns.
Racecourse Guide
The King George VI Chase remains the headline race for Kempton Park, second only to the Cheltenham Gold Cup in terms of prestige in steeplechasing. The 2-day Christmas meeting also features The Christmas Hurdle and the Kauto Star Novices’ Chase, both highly significant trials for the Cheltenham Festival in March.
Kempton is a right-handed course and one of the flattest jumping tracks in Britain. It is also one of the easiest jump tracks for a novice and the hurdles course tends to favour flat-racing bred horses unless the going is soft.
The most important flat races at Kempton are the Group 3 September Stakes and Sirenia Stakes. The Snowdrop Fillies’ Stakes, Magnolia Stakes and Rosebery Handicap are other significant flat races on the all-weather.
The flat course is the only right-handed all-weather track in the country and has two separate loops. The inner circuit is for sprint races over five furlongs and races over nine and ten furlongs. It has a short run-in of under two furlongs, a furlong shorter than the outer circuit.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Kempton Park provides a wide choice of fast food outlets around the course. The food court caters for general admission ticket holders with plentiful drink facilities. Groups of 10 or more get a discount on pre-booked tickets, although some fixtures are excluded. Other hospitality options include Private Boxes with first class dining and panoramic views across the course. Prices vary from the Classic Box Experience to the Premier Box or VIP Box Experience. The VIP Box Experience comes with a champagne reception, four course buffet and inclusive bar.
Kempton Park racecourse is just 16 miles from London at Sunbury-on-Thames in Surrey. The railway station is just 200 yards from the course with trains every half an hour from London Waterloo on race days, taking about 40 minutes. Rail services are different over Christmas, so check the racecourse’s travel information before the Boxing Day meeting.
Tickets
You can purchase tickets for any of Kempton’s up-coming meetings direct from the website. General admission tickets provide access to the main Grandstand with views of the Parade Ring and Winner’s Enclosure. You can also reserve your hospitality package or check the racecourse’s memberships and offers page for current deals.
The Effect of the Draw
A low draw is favoured in all races from five to seven furlongs on the all-weather at Kempton. The track suits front runners and prominent racers rather than hold-up horses, and this run-style bias is strongest from five to seven furlongs. A low draw can also be an advantage in nine and ten furlong races because of the shorter run-in on the inner circuit.
