Newmarket - July
Summary (for full review click link below)
The Newmarket July Course is used during the summer and is more relaxed than the Rowley Mile Course. A feature of the summer evenings are the Newmarket Nights, where post racing entertainment is provided by some big name artists and these frequently sell out well in advance, so advance booking is strongly recommended.
Racing is of a high quality with the highlight being the July Meeting.
Course Characteristics:
The July course is a boomerang shape with a right handed dog-leg 1¼ miles from the finish. Generally flat with a slight rise two furlongs out. Races of 1m 2f and longer involve a right handed dog leg.
A very fair, wide course, galloping horses are favoured.
Admission (2009 prices, 2010 prices to be confirmed):
There is a three enclosure policy, Members (£22 - £40), Grandstand (£16 - £25) and Family £5 - £11.
Annual membership 2010: New £380, renewal £380. Junior (under 21 on 15/04/09) new £180 and renewal £180
Location:
Newmarket is about 15 miles east of Cambridge. Approach via A45 from Cambridge of from the A11 off J9 of the M11. Head towards Newmarket and then follow the signs.
Ease of public transport access: Poor (limited rail service to Newmarket. Special bus from Cambridge station and Stansted airport)
