Newmarket Racecourses is to twin with St Moritz in Switzerland,
with each venue set to sponsor a race at the other´s track to be 'called'
by the 'away' commentator. The twinning agreement will be signed on the
Rowley Mile before racing on Friday, October 14, when the Grand Prix White
Turf St Moritz Claiming Stakes will be run during the afternoon. Newmarket
will sponsor a race at St Moritz on their Grand Prix Day on February 19.

Richard Hoiles will commentate on the Newmarket-sponsored race in
St Moritz, while Michael Luxemburger will commentate on the Grand Prix
White Turf St Moritz Claiming Stakes at Newmarket.

Newmarket´s Annual Members will be able to gain free admission to
St Moritz on the day of the Newmarket race with a similar reciprocal
arrangement for St Moritz regulars on 14th October.

"This is a really exciting twinning agreement for Newmarket, not
least because St Moritz is so unique in the racing world with its races
being run on snow," commented Newmarket´s Managing Director, Lisa Hancock.

"As the Home of Racing, we are already twinned with The Curragh and
have a special arrangement with the Dubai World Cup. This is a third
agreement which I hope will create a lot of interest and will certainly add
value for our more adventurous Annual Members who decide to make the trip
to Switzerland!"
