The July Festival
July 2011
Three days of racing excellence beckon from the green meadows of Newmarket Racecourse. The July Festival is all about Newmarket's July Course, one of its two famous racetracks. The July Course is Newmarket's summer racecourse - the Rowley Mile is used for spring and autumn races - and it is known for its infamous one mile straight, the so-called Bunbury Mile.
