FAQs

About Newmarket Racecourse

Located in Suffolk, England, Newmarket Racecourse is universally regarded as the historical and spiritual headquarters of British horseracing. Its roots trace all the way back to the 17th century when King James I first discovered the town and established a royal presence, paving the way for it to become the epicenter of thoroughbred training and racing. The sheer scale and legacy of the venue command immense respect within the sporting world.

One of the most unique features of Newmarket is that it is actually composed of two distinct racecourses: the Rowley Mile and the July Course. The Rowley Mile is primarily utilized in the spring and autumn, famous for its wide, galloping straight, and the demanding “Dip” right before the finish line. In contrast, the picturesque July Course takes over during the summer months, providing a vibrant, slightly undulating turf that serves as a spectacular test of stamina for thoroughbreds during the warmer parts of the year.

Newmarket hosts some of the most prestigious and highly anticipated events on the global racing calendar. It is the proud home of the Guineas Festival, featuring both the 1000 Guineas and 2000 Guineas—the first two Classics of the British Flat racing season. Additionally, the venue hosts the beloved July Festival anchored by the iconic July Cup, as well as the high-stakes Future Champions Weekend. With marquee races like the Cambridgeshire Handicap and Cesarewitch Handicap, watching a fixture from Newmarket guarantees top-tier equestrian competition.
