INTRODUCTION BY MARK TOMPKINS I am pleased to be involved with the Newmarket Trainers Website, and hope it will
be a good source of information for Internet users all over the world. Newmarket,
is, after all, the Head Quarters of British Racing - some would say world racing, and no wonder. The place is steeped in a rich racing history, and the facilities remain unrivalled.
2010 was a good year for Newmarket with Sir Michael Stoute winning the Derby with WORKFORCE, ridden by champion jockey, Ryan Moore, and Ed Dunlop taking the English and Irish Oaks with SNOW FAIRY, also ridden by Ryan Moore. Newmarket got off to a great start in 2011 with Henry Cecil bagging his 25th Classic with the great FRANKEL winning the Qipco 2000 Guineas by 6 lengths, ridden by Tom Queally and owned by Khalid Abdulla, and the Mahmood Al Zarooni trained BLUE BUNTING taking the 1000 Guineas ridden by Frankie Dettori for Sheik Mohammed. Since then William Haggis has scooped the Investec Oaks with DANCING RAIN ridden by Johnny Murtagh. Champions Day at Ascot was very successful for Newmarket trained horses with the
unbeaten super- for trainer Henry Cecil and jockey Tom Queally, and DEACON BLUES under Johnny Murtagh, taking the British Champion Sprint Stakes for James Fanshawe, and DANCING RAIN, also ridden by Johnny Murtagh, winning the Fillies and Mares Stakes for William Haggas. FRANKEL is officially the highest rated horse in the world and will race again this season. The season was nicely rounded off with MASKED MARVEL(William Buick) taking the St Leger for trainer John Gosden and ZUIDER ZEE triumphing in the November Handicap ridden by Robert Havlin, also trained by John Gosden. Potential owners have so many trainers to choose from here, in just about every price bracket, and all have use of the outstanding gallops, which continue to be so superbly maintained by Mr.William Gittus, the Managing Director at Jockey Club Estates, and his Heath men. There is no doubt that Newmarket is the Number One place to train racehorses, and I am proud to chair the Newmarket Trainers Federation, which represents so many people with so much talent.
