Venue
Tattenham Straight Marquee
VIEW GALLERY
This marquee is positioned right on the finishing straight after the world famous Tattenham Corner - a pivatol point on the course and often where the race can be won or lost. Enjoy superb hospitality and experience the action at close quarters, as the horses thunder down The Hill and into the finishing straight. This was where everyone saw Authorised, Dettori`s first Derby winner, come from the back of the pack to take the lead up the finishing straight.
