Newmarket racecourse

Home of the 2000 and 1000 Guineas, Newmarket has been at the heart of British Flat racing for more than 300 years. Some 3000 horses are in training in the immediate vicinity of this unique racing town, which is only an hour from London by road from the M11 or by rail.

The two Classics are held on the Rowley Mile course in early May as are the big autumn fixtures, headed by Champions Day. In high summer the July meeting takes pride of place on the course of the same name. Both courses are galloping with ultra-long straights
