New Racegoer
Going to a racecourse for the first time is likely to leave you with plenty of questions you would love to have answered.
At Newmarket one of our overriding priorities is to help new or novice racegoers find the answers to any questions they might have, hopefully helping you to get the maximum enjoyment out of your visit to the Home of Racing.
In this section of our website you will find a:
- "Jargon Buster"
- A guide to placing a bet
- An explanation of the "raceday circuit" which many people follow before and after each race.
- Information on our Race Days Tours
- "Do's and Don't's"
- Frequently asked questions.
- If you have a question about racing at Newmarket, email our senior tour guide, Rose Todd, as this new website brings you 'Ask Rose'.
- Guide to Newmarket Nights - Never been to a Newmarket Nights before? This quick guide will tell you all you need to know.

Our main recommendation, however, is that you go and see one of our Racecourse Guides, who will be very visible on the racecourse with their blue "Official Guide" sashes. They will be delighted to answer your questions personally.
If you have any questions that you would like to ask before you come to Newmarket, do call us on 01638 675 500 or send us an email by clicking here.
