Newmarket Course Guide
One of the most famous racecourses in the UK and the spiritual home of horse racing, Newmarket has two courses that feature throughout the year and will be used for some of the top grade one racing contests.
The Rowley Mile Course
The first is the Rowley Mile which can feature races up to two miles and four furlongs and is the longest straight in UK horse racing, with just one minor turn before the run to home.
The July Course
The second course at Newmarket is the July course, which is only a short two miles compared to Rowley Mile and has a different finishing post. The July Course is a lot flatter than the other course at the track and many others across the UK. Featuring the mile straight known as the Bunbury Mile, it levels off approaching the final furlong, which means there is no bias towards any horses in the closing stages of a race.
Who owns Newmarket Races?
Like many other courses across the UK, including Aintree, Cheltenham, Epsom, and Sandown, Newmarket is owned by the Jockey Club. Managing the upkeep of many courses across the UK, the Jockey Club is made up of four businesses that manage racing estates and horse welfare.
