In 2004 the Fibresand and turf tracks were replaced with a single Polytrack surface, as well as refurbishment of the hotel and conference facilities.

One of the most notable winners of the race is Sovereign Debt who won the Group 3, 2017 Diomed Stakes at Epsom.

The course is one mile (1,609 m) in circumference, with tight left-hand turns — giving it greater commonality with most racetracks found in the United States than with other venues in the UK.
