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. Proof of that, if proof were needed, can be found in the fact that, so far in 2007, a Newmarket trained horse, AUTHORISED has won the Derby, giving FRANKIE DETTORI his first Derby win, and trainer Peter Chapple Hyam his second success in the race. Henry Cecil trained LIGHT SHIFT to win the Oaks, giving him a welcome return to Classic winning ways, and Geoff Huffer sent out the gallant COCKNEY REBEL to score in the English and Irish 2000 Guineas.

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 new 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.
