Newmarket has been recognised as the Headquarters of Racing for over 300
years.
Some 3000 horses are in training in the immediate vicinity of this unique
racing town, set in the heart of East Anglia, yet only sixty minutes from
London by road or rail.
The historic racecourse, the Rowley Mile, is named after King Charles II
"Old Rowley" who founded the Newmarket meetings following his restoration
to the throne in 1660. The Rowley Mile Course has been home to the first
two of the five great "classic" Races, the One Thousand Guineas and the Two
Thousand Guineas, since 1814 and 1809 respectively, and also stages many
other world famous races including The Champion Stakes on "Champions" Day.
The Cesarewitch and The Cambridgeshire.
