WELCOME TO
Welcome to the opening day of our Spring Meeting here on the Rowley Mile.
We are delighted to welcome you for an afternoon of top-class racing and would like to begin by thanking today’s sponsors for their valued support: EBF, Debenhams, Boodles, Juddmonte, Turners and JCB. We also extend our sincere thanks to Al Basti Equiworld for their continued support of our Owners and Trainers facility
There is an exciting eight-race card ahead this afternoon and we hope you enjoy everything that a day at Newmarket has to offer, both on and off the track.
As part of our continued One Enclosure experience here at the Rowley Mile, we encourage you to visit two fantastic new additions located in the main courtyard. Little Italy offers a superb Italian dining experience, perfect whether you are looking for a light bite or a more leisurely meal. We are also pleased to introduce The Gallop Inn, a brand-new pub-style venue created by the team here over the winter months, complete with live music, darts and a lively raceday atmosphere.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, we are proud to introduce a new initiative at Newmarket, Beyond The Bridle. Designed to showcase the life of the Thoroughbred beyond racing, the event will feature demonstrations, educational exhibits and interactive experiences focused on racehorse aftercare and retraining. Racegoers will have the opportunity to see these remarkable horses up close through activities including horseball, dressage, showing and much more. Tickets remain available, with under 18s attending free of charge and we would be delighted to welcome you back for another fantastic day.
Thank you for joining us today. We hope you have a wonderful afternoon here at Newmarket and wish all runners and their connections the very best of luck.

Introducing The Gallop Inn, a brand-new pub facility at the very heart of the Rowley Mile—brought to life through months of hard work, creativity, and teamwork. Lovingly transformed over the winter, this space has been shaped not only by design and vision, but by the hands of dedicated team members who have played an integral role in its redevelopment.
Bringing together great drinks, lively entertainment, and a vibrant social atmosphere, this new venue is set to become a favourite gathering point throughout the season. Guests can enjoy a range of interactive features including shuffleboard, electric darts, and table football—adding an extra layer of fun and friendly competition to the experience. With live music on every Rowley Mile raceday, there’s always something to enjoy, creating a consistent soundtrack to the excitement on the course. Complementing the atmosphere, a selection of drinks is available including Guinness on tap, alongside a well-rounded bar offering for all tastes.
The Gallop Inn is more than just a pub—it’s a celebration of teamwork, community, effort, and race day experience – for you, our guests. We look forward to welcoming you through the doors and sharing in everything this exciting new space has to offer.
Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai the UAE’s leading distributor of horse feeds and supplements is proud to support Newmarket Racecourses and to sponsor the Owners & Trainers facilities.
We wish all racegoers and participants a pleasant and successful visit.

DECLARED RUNNERS 8 2025: LAVENDER HILL MOB 4 9 2 Mason Paetel 5-1 (James Owen) 5 ran Visor worn by No 2. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 7. Running for the first time since Gelding No 5. Stewards Note:
TOPTEAM: Following its run on 28/4/2026 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.
DOUBLE MEANING: Following its run on 29/10/2025 it was reported that the horse was unsuited by the going.
Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Marnier (IRE), 4-1 Pride of Donegal (IRE), 11-2 MasterVintner (IRE), 13-2 Double Meaning (GB), 7-1 Topteam (IRE), 12-1 Asgard’s Captain (IRE), 14-1 Arqoob (IRE), 20-1 Ernst Blofeld (IRE)
A case can be made for a few of these but it could pay to side with Ralph Beckett’s MASTER VINTNER who looked really progressive last season until finding Doncaster’s November Handicap too tough an ask and can return in style here Double Meaning starts 2026 on a handy-looking mark and rates the main danger ahead of Topteam and Marnier

Stewards Note:
HOLI SCARLETT: Following its run on 3/5/2026 it was reported that the horse was slowly away.
Probable S.P’s: 5-1 O’Gorman (GB), 11-2 Ballisty (IRE), 13-2 Duidin (IRE), 15-2 Mr Macartney (GB), 10-1 Turnstile (GB), 16-1 Fly Test (IRE), Regal Chita (IRE), Celtic Charioteer (GB), 18-1 Mirzimaan (IRE), Zohar (IRE), 22-1 Agitator (GB), Temple Court (IRE), 66-1 Holi Scarlett (IRE), 150-1 Last Dandelion (GB)
BALLISTY made a pleasing start to his career when third at Goodwood 14 days ago and with 6f sure to suit, he can take advantage of the 6lb he receives from penalised-pair O’Gorman and Mr Macartney. Several newcomers also make appeal, notably Celtic Charioteer

CONDITIONS OF ENTRY TO RACECOURSE

At Newmarket Racecourses we believe racing should be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. And one thing is certainly true, the more relaxed and comfortable we feel, the more likely we are to have a great time. So that’s why we’ve created one very simple piece of guidance, to come “dressed to feel your best”.
We’re all unique, and no more so than in our sense of style and comfort. For some, wearing a nice sweatshirt, pair of jeans and clean trainers is what makes them feel confident and at-ease. For others, they might prefer to turn heads with a sharp suit or glamorous dress and high heels, particularly for one of our big race meetings
But whatever your tastes, the most important thing when choosing your outfit is, of course, comfort and confidence. So wear what feels right for you and will keep you feeling your best from start to finish, whatever the weather. Here’s some other useful tips and advice for making sure your time with us is as memorable as possible.
Fancy dress can often add colour and fun to our racedays, but please avoid inappropriate or offensive outfits, as anything deemed vulgar or derogatory may be refused entry.
We love other sports as much as anyone, but showing allegiance to a favourite club can sometimes appear antagonistic So, to keep things simple, please refrain from wearing team kits when attending one of our racedays.
Only individuals in possession of a valid betting badge and occupying an authorised pitch are entitled to lay bets in the course of their business. Any individuals found contravening these conditions will be evicted. Members of the public may not use two-way radios, scanning receivers etc, for any purpose at the racecourse.
EMERGENCY NOTICE
In an event of an emergency please be guided by our security stewards and by messages you will see and hear around the racecourse We would advise that you keep your personal belongings with you at all times. In the event of an evacuation please do as requested by Newmarket Racecourses Management and security staff They will direct you to a safe place. Do not attempt to regain access to buildings

RACEHORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE
The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards In addition Newmarket Racecourses employs a minimum of three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team. Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital
