SUMMER SATURDAY

SATURDAY

A warm welcome to Newmarket July Course for another in our Summer Saturday Series which run through June, July and August.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jenningsbet for their generous support of this afternoon’s card

Alongside some competitive handicap action, one of the highlights of today’s card is the Jenningsbet Grey Horse Handicap Stakes, a unique feature of the Newmarket racing calendar. The race is limited to horses who are registered as grey, and it is certainly something which racegoers have to see with their own eyes – one thing’s for sure, you’ll back a grey winner!

Away from the racing, we encourage racegoers to enjoy the expanse of food and drink opportunities available across the course There is also a bouncy castle and a face painter for our younger racegoers. Turn to the map page in this racecard for more information

Looking ahead, next weekend features our final racedays at the July Course, where we culminate with the famous Newmarket Town Plate. This historic race has been run here at the Home of Horseracing since 1666. The race is run over a stamina-sapping three-and-three-quarter miles, and it is certainly not for the faint hearted! Tickets are still available for all remaining 2023 fixtures at both the July Course and the Rowley Mile, via www.thejockeyclub.co.uk/newmarket

Across the season, we would like to thank the European Breeders Fund for their contributions to prize money and Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai for their continued sponsorship of our Owners and Trainers facility.

I do hope you have a very enjoyable afternoon with us, and I wish all the horses and their connections the very best of luck.

Warm wishes
