Book TicketsTHE JEWEL OF THE SEASON
Get ready to be swept off your feet by the electrifying Dubai Future Champions Festival, the crown jewel of Newmarket's autumn racing season! This sensational festival spans two glorious days and sets the stage for top-class racing! It's renowned for its uncanny ability to unearth the future legends of the sport.
Hold onto your hats because the action on the legendary Rowley Mile is nothing short of heart-pounding! Across these two days, seven Group races will ignite the track, drawing in some of the planet's most gifted equine athletes. They're here to stake their claim, to prove they're destined for greatness, and to etch their names into racing history.
And that's not all—brace yourself for two days of non-stop entertainment that'll keep your adrenaline pumping away from the track!
So, grab your calendars and circle the dates! Get ready to be part of two spellbinding days of racing excellence at the iconic Rowley Mile. The Dubai Future Champions Festival is where dreams take flight and champions are forged. This is a racing extravaganza you won't dare to miss!
The Friday boasts the Group One bet365 Fillies’ Mile as its feature. Contested by two year olds, the Fillies’ Mile has a stunning track record for highlighting equine stars of the future, with recent winners including the multiple Group One winners Minding (2015) and Laurens (2017).
Dubai Future Champions Saturday then delivers one of the most eagerly anticipated racedays of the entire season – featuring no fewer than four Group races on the card.
The main event is the Group One Darley Dewhurst Stakes, arguably the most prestigious two year old race in the world. Contested by colts over seven furlongs, the Dewhurst’s roll of honour is a Who’s Who of Classic winners, with recent alumni including St Mark’s Basilica (2020), Churchill (2016), Dawn Approach (2012) and the legendary Frankel (2010).
Also on the Saturday is the hugely prestigious Cesarewitch Handicap, which serves as the second leg of the traditional ‘autumn double’ alongside the previous month’s Cambridgeshire Handicap.
Run over two miles and two furlongs, the Cesarewitch is one of the most competitive races of the campaign and requires a mix of class and stamina to win it. Jump racing yards tend to fare well in this, with the legendary Irish handler Willie Mullins winning successive renewals in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
Join us to celebrate the stars of tomorrow for two days of unmissable racing at the Dubai Future Champions Festival!
