The town of Newmarket , in Suffolk , England , is the headquarters of British Horseracing , home to the largest cluster of training yards in the country and many key horse racing organisations. Newmarket Racecourse has two courses - the Rowley Mile Course and the July Course. Both are wide, galloping tracks used for Flat Racing only. The Rowley Mile Course has a straight of 1 Mile 2 Furlong s (2,012 m) with minor undulations towards 'The Bushes', two furlongs (400 m) out. The penultimate furlong (200 m) is downhill and the last is uphill, forming 'The Dip'. Races beyond the distance of 1 m 2f (2,012 m) start on the 'Cesarewitch' or 'Beacon' course which turns right-handed into the straight. The July Course has a straight of 1 Mile , known as 'The Bunbury Mile'. After two furlongs (400 m), there is a long downhill stretch before the uphill furlong (200 m) to the finish. This course also uses the 'Cesarewitch/Beacon' course for longer distances, again turning right into the straight. The Rowley Mile is used for racing in the Spring and Autumn, while the July Course is used in Summer. NOTABLE RACES Rowley Mile Course:
