NEWMARKET WELCOMES YOU Welcome to the Rowley Mile. A very warm welcome to Newmarket Racecourse for the first day of the 2022 QIPCO Guineas Festival. This will be the first time since 2003 that the QIPCO Guineas Festival has been held over three days and we are so excited to have extended one of the undoubted highlights of our season. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to QIPCO for their generous support of this three day meeting and also Betfair, for being our Official Betting Partner and for sponsoring all seven races this afternoon. The feature race is the Group Two Betfair Exchange Jockey Club Stakes, run over one mile and four furlongs. This race consistently attracts a very high class field and this year is no exception. The Jockey Club Stakes was first run in 1894 and boasts an illustrious roll of honour, with past winners including Ardross, Silver Patriarch, Sixties Icon and Al Kazeem. We also stage the Best Odds On The Betfair Exchange Newmarket Stakes and the Betfair King Charles II Stakes, both high-class Listed races which look like being very exciting renewals. Away from the racing we have the QIPCO British Champions Series Hall of Fame exhibition, which I would encourage you to go and see. Launched in 2021, the Hall of Fame immortalises the greats, equine and human, who have achieved remarkable things within horseracing since 1970. The exhibition will highlight those key milestones in racing. I hope that you all have a wonderful time here at Newmarket and wish all the horses and their connections the very best of luck. Best wishes, SOPHIE ABLE General Manager of Newmarket Racecourses DON’T FORGET OUR NEXT MEETING - TOMORROW THE QIPCO GUINEAS FESTIVAL DAY 2 The first classic of the season, The QIPCO 2000 Guineas.
