THE JULY MEETING AT
NEWMARKET 2001
This is the Prestigious July Meeting,
three days of racing culminating in the July Cup, probably the best
6furlong sprint run in Europe each season.
The
Course
Newmarket is unique in providing two complete and distinct racecourses.
The Rowley Course, situated on the fringes of the town, hosts racing of
the highest calibre, including two of the five Classic Races, the 1000
and 2000 Guineas in May, and one of the UK's richest race days,
Champions' Day in October. There is a straight ten-furlong course, which
is wide, and galloping. Races over 12 furlongs or more are right handed.
The course has a long run-in and a stiff finish
The July Racecourse resides alongside the National Stud on the western
approach to the town. It is a course that delights visitors with its
timeless charm and garden party atmosphere and plays host to the
illustrious July Meeting and the now-famous evening meetings, which
feature live bands performing after racing. Races up to a mile are on
the Bunbury course, which also is straight. Races over 10furlongs or
more are right handed with a seven-furlong run in Like the Rowley
Course, the July Course is stiff.
The finishes at both courses are significant as horses meet rising
ground from about two furlongs out (referred to as the dip) it isn't
uncommon, for horses to have snatched apparent victory snatched from
their grasp, as they falter up close home.

COVERAGE
Hopefully over the next three days, we
are able to find you a winner or two

THE DERBY
2001
"Dilshaan won the Dante in good style and is my preference from this camp purely in that tactics looks to be more straightforward for him and he looks assured to stay based on York. He also has the jockey for the big occasion on board. However, for the selection I will choose Galileo. Unbeaten and untested so far his best performance came last time and the form has already been devalued. Despite this it is the potential this one holds which fires my imagination and there seems an heir of confidence in the Irish camp. Unlike Hills and Stoute he is the sole representative from the 6 entries that O'Brien left in at the recent declaration stage. There are always question marks about Saddlers Well's stock and the 12F trip but Imagine went some way to putting that theory to bed yesterday. It also goes without saying that the stable are in simply super form which is another plus. I take him to beat Dilshaan and Putra Sandhurst. Golan (I think) will come full of running but not get home"
