ROWLEY MILE - GROUND UPDATE

Michael Prosser, director of racing at Newmarket Racecourses, said: "We are currently enjoying a beautiful autumnal day and the ground is good to soft with a Going-Stick reading of 6.9

"The forecast is for Wednesday to be dry. It is also predicted to be dry for much of Thursday before a band of rain is anticipated late afternoon. That should have gone through by dawn on Friday."

SECTIONAL TIMING FOR DUBAI FUTURE CHAMPIONS DAY

Newmarket Racecourses is once again delighted to have the Sectional Timing and Tracking System in place for Dubai Future Champions Day.

Michael Prosser, director of racing at Newmarket Racecourses, said: "We have long been staunch advocates of the benefits of STATS. The data provided is important in analysing races of Saturday's calibre - not least because many of the horses running will be returning here next spring for Classic trials and the QIPCO Guineas Festival."

Mike Maher, managing director of TurfTrax, said: "Provision to include this fixture in the STATS deployment schedule was made by QIPCO British Champions Series and Newmarket Racecourses because of the relevance of the data this year and to benchmark the performance of horses that will go on to compete in the 2013 series.

"Taking ground conditions into consideration, analysts of speed and time data will be able to draw valuable comparisons between the likes of Camelot and Homecoming Queen and the potential stars of next year's QIPCO Guineas Festival as they put their Classic credentials on show.

"In addition to the day's six Group races, the Betfred Cesarewich Stakes provides a unique challenge. With a maximum field of 34 expected for the historic two and a quarter mile handicap that stretches across two counties, this will be a real opportunity to demonstrate the robustness and versatility of the Sectional Timing and Tracking System."
