THE SPRING MEETING

BEHIND THE BRIDLE

SATURDAY 16 MAY 2026

OFFICIAL RACECARD £3.50

WELCOME TO

As we welcome you to the Rowley Mile for day two of our Spring Meeting, we are delighted to host Behind the Bridle, a raceday in partnership with Retraining of Racehorses, celebrating the remarkable versatility and second careers of former racehorses.

Today is not only about competitive action on the track, but also about recognising the dedication and care that ensures our equine athletes thrive beyond their racing days Alongside racing you will have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of displays, showcasing the many disciplines retired racehorses excel in, from horseball and dressage to polo and showing. These demonstrations are a powerful reminder of the adaptability, intelligence and athleticism that make Thoroughbreds so special.

Retraining of Racehorses plays a vital role within the industry, providing structure, support and opportunity for horses as they transition into new careers. We are proud to support their work and to shine a spotlight on the lifelong journey of the racehorse. We are also extremely grateful to all those who have helped deliver this important message. In particular, we thank The Howden Way, Price Bailey, The British Racing School, and The National Stud, alongside all of our demonstration participants and their wonderful horses, whose dedication brings Behind the Bridle to life

We would also like to thank today’s sponsors, BetMGM & Darley, for their support of today’s races, and Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai, for their continued sponsorship of our Owners’ and Trainers’ facility.

Alongside this important celebration, we look forward to an excellent afternoon of racing here on the Rowley Mile as the spring season gathers momentum.

On behalf of everyone at Newmarket Racecourses, I wish all owners, trainers and jockeys the very best of luck Thank you for joining us to recognise and celebrate the lasting legacy of the Thoroughbred.

Guests can enjoy a range of interactive features including shuffleboard, electric darts, and table football—adding an extra layer of fun and friendly competition to the experience. With live music on every Rowley Mile raceday, there’s always something to enjoy, creating a consistent soundtrack to the excitement on the course. Complementing the atmosphere, a selection of drinks is available including Guinness on tap, alongside a well-rounded bar offering for all tastes.

The Gallop Inn is more than just a pub—it’s a celebration of teamwork, community, effort, and race day experience – for you, our guests. We look forward to welcoming you through the doors and sharing in everything this exciting new space has to offer.

Having landed 2 of his first 4 starts, low-mileage 5-y-o TWISTING PHYSICS shaped well on return from another absence over further at Newbury 4 weeks ago, finding himself caught further back than ideal before finishing well. That race contained plenty of depth and he makes plenty of appeal from the same mark back at 1m. Jimmy Speaking has returned better than ever and also merits respect in his hat-trick bid, while top weight Sterling Knight and Helm Rock are others to consider

Tongue Strap worn first time by No 2. Blinkers worn by No 5. Tongue Strap worn by No 1. Stewards Note:

MIRACULOUS: Following its run on 8/5/2026 it was reported that the horse was denied a clear run.

No shortage of chances but MIRACULOUS stepped up on his comeback run and would have been closer still with a clear passage when fifth over this trip at Chester last week. Now operating 2lb below his last winning mark, he rates a serious player and earns preference over Sixtygeesbaby who surely won’t be long in coming good for David O’Meara. Expert Agent and Rajaking, at likely longer odds, are others to consider

SHABAB ALAHLI was only beaten a length into fourth in a traditionally strong Newbury affair and this year's contest already looks up to scratch, with the winner going on to land the Lingfield Derby Trial and the runner-up occupyingthe same position in Listed company.TurtyTreewas one ofthose lefttrailing inWaterTo Wine'swake at Newbury, but is dangerous in receipt ofweight fromthe previouswinners.

Stewards Note: FOLK PAGEANT: Following its run on 2/4/2026 it was reported that the horse was trapped wide throughout.

Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Eddaari (GB), 9-2 Guest House (IRE), 5-1 Alpine Culture (GB), 15-2 The Joker (FR), 17-2 Royal Poetry (IRE), 10-1 Sharp Romance (GB), 14-1 Battosai (IRE), 28-1 Folk Pageant (GB)

A few of these bring potential, not least EDDAARI, who opened his account at Newcastle last month and can follow up now handicapping with this step up in trip looking a big positive. Alpine Culture could emerge as the main danger on his handicap debut ahead of Yarmouth scorer Guest House.

WRYDCROFT continues to progress and he can make it 5 wins from his last 6 starts at the chief expense of Tex, who might well have scored with a better break at Leicester last week. Dashing Donkey is back on a handy mark and can complete the 1-2-3.

CONDITIONS OF ENTRY TO RACECOURSE

Management reserves the right to refuse admission to, or eject from, the racecourse any person without assigning a reason In particular, any instance of unruly behaviour, such as drunkenness, abusive conduct, singing or shouting, shall entitle the Racecourse Executive to expel the offending racegoer without prior notice Racegoers must abide by any regulations including the observance of designated non-drinking areas

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.

EMERGENCY NOTICE

In an event of an emergency please be guided by our security stewards and by messages you will see and hear around the racecourse We would advise that you keep your personal belongings with you at all times. In the event of an evacuation please do as requested by Newmarket Racecourses Management and security staff They will direct you to a safe place. Do not attempt to regain access to buildings

Since 2000 HBLB has invested £1.5bn in prize money to support the British horseracing industry

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
