WELCOME TO
A very warm welcome to the beautiful July Course for what promises to be a superb afternoon of top-class flat racing.
We’re proud to feature the prestigious Sweet Solera Stakes (Group 3) on today’s card -an exciting contest that has long been a platform for emerging juvenile talent. This year’s running is kindly sponsored by Newsells Park Stud, and we’re very grateful for their valued support.
We also welcome the Shetland Pony Grand National to the July Course before the first race, The Shetland Pony Grand National is a team of Shetland ponies and jockeys that race all over the country raising money for charity. I’m sure it will prove to be a very exciting two furlongs!
Our thanks also go to all of today’s sponsors: Tattersalls, who are sponsoring another addition to the development race series, Moatwood Gin, Newmarket racecourses official Gin partner, and the family and friends of Kate O’Sullivan all of whom help make racedays like this so special. We’re equally thankful to Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai, for their continued sponsorship of our Owners’ and Trainers’ facility.
Best of luck to all owners, trainers, and jockeys competing today.
We look forward to welcoming you back throughout the season for more unforgettable moments at the July Course.

The Jockey Club would like to thank our Group Partners for their support in 2025
As a leading distributor of horse feed, bedding and supplements in the greater GCC area, I am once again immensely proud to support the Jockey Club at Newmarket Racecourses for the 2025 season. Newmarket is credited as being where thoroughbred racing first started which is why so many from every corner of the world Mile Rowley The appreciate and assemble and The July Course.
As ever, the enthusiasm of Sophie Able and her team at Newmarket translates into a top class service for Owners, Trainers, Jockeys and Stable Staff and for that we are deeply grateful.
I would like to wish all those visiting Newmarket throughout the 2025 season, the very best of luck.
Have a wonderful day at the races today.

BALLISTIC MISSILE failed to cut much ice in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but his York success prior to that was promising and he can resume his progression with his sights lowered. Royal Bodyguard caught the eye with nurseries in mind at Doncaster last month and is second choice ahead of recent Newbury runner-up John Barleycorn.

MIDNIGHTTANGO very much caught the eye when a fast-finishing second in a 6f course Listed event inJune. Hersubsequent fourth in the Princess Margaret atAscot was no bad run and she getsthevote now stepping up to 7f with Oisin Murphy taking the reins for the first time. The Johnston stable has a good recent record in this race and Venetian Lace could be a big threat if keeping straighter than she did in the Superlative over C&D at the July meeting.

Celebrating Kate O'Sullivan
Today’s final race is run in celebration of the life and friendship of Kate O’Sullivan, a much-loved friend in both Newmarket and the wider racing community, who sadly passed away in 2024.
Kate came to Newmarket in 2016 as the Manager of Discover Newmarket. Working closely with key stakeholders across the town, including the team here at Newmarket Racecourses, she created engaging tours that brought our town’s rich racing heritage to life.
Though she was with us in Newmarket for just over a year, Kate left an indelible mark. Her warmth, vibrancy, and unforgettable sense of humour lit up every room she entered. She made friends wherever she went and you couldn't help but have a good time in her company.
Kate’s love of horses and racing shaped her life and career. On her return to Ireland she took up roles at Horse Racing Ireland, The Curragh, and the Irish National Stud, continuing to share her passion with the industry she adored
It feels fitting to celebrate Kate here, in a place full of happy memories where we shared so many great times. We're also delighted to announce that from 2025, the Kate O'Sullivan Cup will be awarded annually to the winner of the Racing Personality Show Jumping at the Henry Cecil Newmarket Open Weekend

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.

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
