STABLING AND TRAINING FACILITIES
There are no training facilities for international runners, at Jockey Club Racecourses. Horses from abroad must be trained away from the tracks. The International Racing Bureau (IRB) will be available to assist you with stabling options including in Newmarket, Lambourn or elsewhere. They will also help with the provision of lead ponies and will advise on the best veterinary and farrier care.
NEWMARKET The home of UK horse racing is the most popular choice for visiting trainers. Access to the many and varied gallops in Newmarket is straightforward and the IRB are on hand to show your staff the range of facilities. The gallops cover an area of approximately 2,500 acres (1,000ha) and provide 50 miles (80kms) of turf gallops and canters as well as 15 artificial tracks totalling 13 miles (21km). The gallops are owned by Jockey Club Estates and managed by Nick Patton.
LAMBOURN Set on the Berkshire Downs with its varied gradients and centuries old downland turf, Lambourn is known as “The Valley of the Racehorse”. Jockey Club Estates also own and manage Lambourn gallops which include 600 acres of training grounds, 8 miles (12kms) of turf gallops and 7 miles (11kms) of artificial tracks.
