On which English racecourse is Tattenham Corner?

Tattenham Corner is a neighbourhood in north Surrey, UK, but the name is principally associated with Epsom Racecourse.

Tattenham Corner refers to the sharp bend in the track at the eastern (upper) part of Epsom Racecourse and its immediate vicinity, which includes Tattenham Corner railway station, a few shops and a branch library. The racecourse itself and a short length of road between the station and the course are in the borough of Epsom & Ewell. The remainder of the local area, which is residential and has a high proportion of Central London commuters, is known as Tattenhams or Great Tattenham and Little Tattenham, and is in Tattenhams ward of Reigate & Banstead.

Ed Taber - In England, There has been horse racing in Newmarket since 1636 and Chester since 1539 so I think you will find that it’s your racehorses that are running the wrong way! Every thoroughbred horse can be traced back to just 3 stallions- The Darley Arabian, The Godolphin Arabian and the Byerley Turk which were bred with the finest English brood mares to set up the stud book in which every thoroughbred horse is entered. You lovely Americans can stick to baseball and soccer whilst we continue to drive on the left, play football and race our horses in any direction we like. ( ps we have left and right handed racecourses in the UK)
