About the Dubai Future Champions Festival at Newmarket

The Dubai Future Champions Festival has become one of the highlights of the British Flat racing calendar, offering spectators the opportunity to watch some of the sport’s leading two-year-old horses before they progress into their three-year-old campaigns.

The festival was established in its current form in 2015, building on Future Champions Day, which was introduced in 2011. Staged on Newmarket’s Rowley Mile, the meeting is particularly significant for trainers, owners and racing enthusiasts looking ahead to the following season’s Classics.

The festival traditionally features two prestigious Group 1 races, the Fillies’ Mile and Dewhurst Stakes, alongside several other important contests.

The Dewhurst Stakes and Fillies’ Mile

The Dewhurst Stakes is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious races for two-year-olds, with the seven-furlong Group 1 contest regularly attracting some of the leading juvenile prospects in European racing.

Its outstanding roll of honour includes Frankel, Churchill and Chaldean, all of whom went on to win the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket the following season. Their achievements demonstrate why the Dewhurst remains such an important indicator of horses capable of competing at the highest level as three-year-olds.

The Fillies’ Mile provides a similarly important opportunity for leading two-year-old fillies to establish their credentials over a mile. The Group 1 contest has a strong record of showcasing future stars and remains one of the highlights of the opening day of the Dubai Future Champions Festival.

The Cesarewitch Handicap at Newmarket

Another major attraction of the festival has traditionally been the Cesarewitch Handicap, one of the oldest and most competitive staying handicaps in British Flat racing.

First run in 1839 and contested over two miles and two furlongs, the Cesarewitch provides a demanding test of stamina and often attracts horses and trainers associated with both Flat and National Hunt racing.

Together with the Cambridgeshire Handicap, the Cesarewitch forms British racing’s traditional Autumn Double. The Cambridgeshire is the first leg, followed by the Cesarewitch at the Dubai Future Champions Festival.

Experience Racing on Newmarket’s Historic Rowley Mile

Newmarket is widely recognised as the Home of Horseracing, with a racing history stretching back more than 350 years. Its importance to the sport extends far beyond race meetings, with the town home to leading training establishments, racing organisations and stud farms.

The Rowley Mile is one of the two racecourses that make up Newmarket Racecourses, alongside the July Course. Its historic setting and famous straight course provide the stage for some of British Flat racing’s most prestigious fixtures, including the 2,000 Guineas, 1,000 Guineas and Dubai Future Champions Festival.

The Dubai Future Champions Festival takes place towards the end of the Flat racing season, when many leading trainers bring promising juveniles to Newmarket. Performances across the meeting can provide important clues ahead of the following season’s Classics and other major races.

With a combination of Group 1 racing, valuable handicaps and emerging equine talent, the festival offers plenty of interest for experienced racing enthusiasts as well as guests visiting Newmarket for the first time.
