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.
The Guineas meeting,
held at the historic Newmarket course, hosts the first Classics of
the Flat season. The 2,000 Guineas is for three-year-old colts and
fillies and is run on the famous Rowley Mile course.
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.
