Newmarket is a quaint market town located in the English county of Suffolk, and placed about 65 miles just north of London. Its major claim to fame in the gambling industry is that it’s widely considered to be the actual birthplace of thoroughbred horse racing. Newmarket houses Britain’s largest racehorse training center and is home to most major British horse racing institutions. In the UK, there are 32 Group 1 flat races, and nine of them are held at Newmarket. You can find two racetracks at Newmarket, Newmarket Rowley Mile Racecourse and The July Course.

Before we get started, though, here’s a little more general information about the charming Newmarket town.

Newmarket, found in the area of Suffolk, is nearly an exclave (a territory legally attached to another territory that’s not physically contiguous), missing the exclave boat by a relative hair with only a narrow strip of territory linking it to the rest of the county. There’s a rich history to Newmarket: the Local Government Act of 1888 made the entirety of the Newmarket district part of the administrative county of West Suffolk, and it was split with one parish: St. Mary in Suffolk, and All Saints in Cambridgeshire. In 1972, a local government bill was proposed, which would have transferred the town to Cambridgeshire, in line with efforts going back to the 1960s that the border around Newmarket be altered. Though the Newmarket Urban District Council supported the move to Cambridgeshire and despite its intense lobbying, the government ultimately withdrew the proposal and kept the existing boundary.
