Newmarket in Suffolk is the headquarters of British Racing. There are around 2000 racehorses in Newmarket spread between 66 racehorse trainers. The two racecourses and training facilities extend over 4500 acres and include 40 miles of turf gallops and 17 miles of all-weather tracks.

The 9000 acres of stud land on the periphery of Newmarket house some of the world’s most valuable bloodstock.

Banstead Manor Stud is situated on the outskirts of the village of Cheveley, some 4 miles south of Newmarket.

The stud comprises 373 acres of land, of which 50 are set aside for the stallion unit at Banstead. The Stud operates on the successful ‘walking-in’ system for visiting mares.
