I went to see the 344th running of the Newmarket
Town Plate on Saturday August 24, 2013. This was followed by a normal
race card and
concert by McFly.
TheNewmarket
Town Plateis a historicBritishhorse
racewhich has been run in
the town ofNewmarket,
Suffolksince 1666.[1]The
race was instigated byKing
Charles II, who also won the first running. He stated that it should be
run 'forever'.
It is run over 3 mile 6 furlongs of theNewmarket
Round Course, which runs “on the outside of the Ditch from Newmarket
.]It is only used
once a year for this race.
Horses turning left at the 2 furlong post to go
across.......
Just before the race, Jason had
proposed
to his girlfriend Lauren Bentley who was dressed in his colours,
accepted, and joined him for photos.
