Steeped in history, having staged ‘Classic’ races since 1809 with a glittering array of winners including Sir Ivor, Brigadier Gerard, Nijinsky, Dancing Brave and Frankel, the Rowley Mile Racecourse combines style and formality with top class action.
The Craven Meeting
Tuesday 18 – Thursday 20 April 2023
The bet365 Craven Meeting heralds the beginning of a new season of racing on Newmarket’s historic Rowley Mile. As the horses burst from the stalls and race down the straight towards the grandstands, racing’s ‘HQ’ comes alive once more with the sound of thundering hooves and cheering spectators.
This three-day fixture, first staged in 1771, provides thrilling action on the track and some key clues to the weeks and months ahead. The feature race is the Group Three bet365 Craven Stakes on the Wednesday of the meeting, which traditionally acts as a trial for the first Classic of the season – the following month’s QIPCO 2000 Guineas – held over the same course and distance.
Tuesday 18th April – Day One
Wednesday 19th April – Day Two
Thursday 20th April – Day Three
