Newmarket Racing Tips

If you’re looking for some Newmarket tips for today’s races, here are some general reminders to keep to the forefront of your mind:

• Check the Course in Use: The Rowley Mile hosts the racing in spring and autumn, with the July Course being used in the Autumn. Form on one doesn’t always carry over to the other, so look for runs on the same track if considering course form.
• Respect the Dip: Both courses have a dip about a furlong out, which is followed by a climb to the line. Horses that stay the trip and handle the undulations nicely will finish strong. Non-stayers tend to fade during the final furlong.
• Watch Where the Pace is: Most races are won on a wide and straight course, which means that the field will often split into groups. Which side the pace is on can matter more than the draw for the bigger fields.
• Look for Galloping Track Form: Newmarket is wide and galloping, so it’s suitable for long-striding horses. It’s worth checking on form from similar tracks like York and Doncaster.
• Follow the Local Stables: Newmarket is the home to many of Britain’s leading Flat trainers and their horses race regularly here, so that’s something worth following.
• Check the Going on the Day: The turf at Newmarket can change quickly, especially in the autumn, so don’t forget to consider the expected ground.

About Newmarket Racecourse

Newmarket is one of the most notable tracks in the world and it’s home to two of Britain’s 5 Classics and several of the year’s top two-year-old races. It’s a Flat-only venue run by The Jockey Club, with two separate courses on Newmarket Heath.

The Rowley Mile and the July Course

The Rowley Mile is used in spring and autumn, hosting the Guineas and the big October meetings. It’s a wide galloping straight course for a mile and a quarter, named after King Charles II’s horse Old Rowley. Longer races start on the Cesarewitch course and join the straight after the right-handed turn.

The July Course is used from June to August, including the July Festival, and most Newmarket Nights. It has a straight mile, with longer races run on a right-handed loop which joins the straight.

Both courses have a dip around a furlong before the finish, which is followed by an uphill run to the line. This means that Newmarket is a stiff test for any horses that struggle to truly stay.

Draw Bias and Going

The draw at Newmarket is dependent on the stall placement and where the pace develops. Big fields will usually split into two groups and one side can be favoured on the day, so it’s worth watching early races on the card.

The going varies through the season. The Rowley Mile is often softer in spring and autumn. The July Course can ride good to firm in the summer, with watering used to keep the ground safe.

Newmarket Feature Races

Newmarket holds several Group 1 races across the year including the following:

• Guineas Festival (early May): The 2000 Guineas and 1000 Guineas, which are the first Classics of the British Flat season.
• July Festival: The July Cup is one of Europe’s sprints.
• Cambridgeshire Meeting (late September): The Cheveley Park Stakes and Middle Park Stakes for two year olds.
• Sun Chariot Day (early October): A race for fillies and mares.
• Future Champions Festival (October): The Dewhurst Stakes and the Fillies’ Mile stand out on this card every year.

History

Racing at Newmarket dates back to the early 17th century when King James I discovered the heath, before King Charles II made it the centre of the sport in later years. The Jockey Club, which was created in the 1750s, made Newmarket its home and is still the course’s owner today.

The 2000 Guineas first took place in 1809 and the Cambridgeshire and Cesarewitch both date back to 1839. Thousands of horses are still trained around the heath’s gallops, with many of the country’s leading trainers based there. Tattersalls bloodstock, the National Horseracing Museum, and the National Stud are also in Newmarket.
