JOIN THE SUMMER CELEBRATIONS

 

The perfect afternoon of racing on the July Course. 

 

There will be plenty of action on the track for all to enjoy including the Grey Horse handicap which takes centre stage as a field of only grey horses come thundering down the track. One things for sure on this day – you’ll back a grey winner!

 

There will be a face painter and bouncy castle in the Garden Enclosure for our younger racegoers.

 

Remember, under 18s go FREE! U18s must be accompanied by an adult aged 18+ at all times.

The Grey Horse Handicap

Staged over the last six furlongs of the Bunbury Mile on Newmarket’s July Course, it is the only race of its kind in the UK that is restricted to those registered as grey horses only. To compensate, there is also a corresponding race over the same course and distance the previous evening for non-greys.

 

First staged in 2003, it is an amazing sight to see a field of grey sprinters charging home on the historic Newmarket turf. The Grey Horse Handicap has a maximum field of 20 runners.

 

Be here to witness the 2025 running of the Grey Horse Handicap.
