More about the Newmarket July Festival:
The Newmarket Racecourse is one of the oldest and most prestigious racecourses not just in the country, but also in the world. It was first opened all the way back in the 17th century, or more specifically 1667. One of the earliest reasons for the racecourse’s fame was because King Charles II road a horse at the Newmarket Town Plate in 1671, and becoming the first reigning monarch to ride a winner in the history of the sport of horse racing.
In terms of the Newmarket July Festival, it has a long and illustrious history all of its own. The July Festival began all the way back in 1876. Colt Springfield, a horse that was bred by Queen Victoria, was very successful in the first two renewals, in the early days of the festival. This achievement was later repeated by Charibert in 1880 and 1881.
And, famously, Ormonde, who was the holder of the prestigious Triple Crown, beat the two nearest rivals to claim victory in 1887. The triple crown is made up of the 2000 Guineas Stakes, The Derby at Epsom and The St Leger Stakes at Town Moor in Doncaster.
Sundridge is one of the most successful horses in the sport of horse racing, with a record of 17 wins in 35 starts. Sundridge won three renewals in a row, from it’s first in 1902, until it won it’s third in succession in 1904.
Fast forward to the 21st century, there have been 5 different winners in the last 5 renewals. US Navy Flag won in 2018, before Ten Sovereigns claimed victory a year later in 2019. Oxted was declared champion in 2020 before an Ed Walker trained Starman won the 2021 renewal. Alcohol Free, ridden by Rob Hornby was the winner of the 2022 race.
There was much anticipation ahead of the 2025 July Festival. Back in 2024, Mill Stream, ridden by William Buick, was not the pre-race favourite, but Buick and Mill Stream were able to put in a sensational performance to fend off the likes of Clifford Lee’s Swingalong (2nd Place) and James Doyle’s Vandeek (3rd Place) to claim victory. Inisherin, ridden by Jockey Tom Eaves, was the pre-race favourite, but they had to settle for a 5th place finish in the end instead.
It was was most certainly not a comfortable victory for Mill Stream in the end, winning by a margin of just a neck ahead of runner-up Swingalong. Mill Stream and William Buick did finish two and three quarter lengths ahead of pre-race favourite Inisherin. All eyes will now be on the race in 2025.
There is no better way to enjoy all of the action at the 2025 July Festival with one of Eventmasters’ VIP Newmarket Hospitality Packages.
