As we welcome you to the July Course for the fourth Newmarket Nights of the year, we are excited to bring you another evening of world-class racing in the beautiful surroundings of this much-loved venue.
Evening fixtures at the July Course offer a unique atmosphere - competitive action on the track, a relaxed and sociable setting, and the perfect opportunity to enjoy racing under the summer skies before the entertainment continues after the final race. Tonight’s card promises an engaging programme of contests as the Flat season continues to gather pace.
After racing, the evening comes alive with a live performance from Aitch. Known for his energetic stage presence and chart-topping hits, Aitch is sure to provide a memorable soundtrack and a fantastic finale to another vibrant night at Newmarket.
I would like to thank Zyn for their sponsorship of tonight’s card You can visit their stand opposite the Premier 2 entrance We would also like to thank Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai, for their continued sponsorship of our Owners’ and Trainers’ facility.
On behalf of everyone at Newmarket Racecourses, I wish all owners, trainers and jockeys the very best of luck this evening, and thank you for joining us for what promises to be another exciting and memorable Newmarket Nights experience.
Best wishes,
Sophie Able Newmarket Racecourses and International Director

ROBERT ANSTRUTHER had plenty to spare at Nottingham and is taken make light of a 7lb rise and deny Jimmy Knocker a second successive win at this meeting. Spring Bloom’s good C&D record suggests he’s likely to be on the premises again, while market support for James Owen’s new recruit Blue Samuna would make her a potential threat to all.

MERTOUN has proved a different proposition switched to handicaps over this trip, making it back-to-back wins with a wide-margin success at Carlisle, and can continue his progress to score again. Drifts Away is much respected, though, arriving on the back of a career-best victory at Yarmouth, with Born A Rebel also considered.

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 deliver 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
