Dullingham Park Stud

Fourteen foals were born in 2009 at Mark and Angie's Dullingham Park Stud, by stallions such as Motivator, Rail Link and Halling. In 2010, they are looking forward to the foaling of progeny by stallions such as Manduro, Elusive City and Beat Hollow.

The stud, set in 100 acres just three miles out of Newmarket (pictured right), operates in conjunction with the main training yard.

It is a fast-developing breeding establishment in its own right, and many of the mares currently housed there were trained by Mark in their racing days. They include Qilin, Topatori, Optimistic, Mega, Sosumi and Nutmeg to name a few. Topatori bred 2007 Middleton Stakes (Group 3) winner, Topatoo, who is now in foal herself to Motivator. The produce of older mares, Kip's Sister and Tiempo, have also enjoyed racecourse success notably Steenberg (winner of the Duke of York Stakes, Group 2), Thingmebob and Ten Bob.

And, at Garrowby Stud (pictured left), newly-purchased and home-bred yearlings begin their education while horses in training can enjoy a spell of rest and recuperation away from the hurly burly of Newmarket.

About Newmarket

Newmarket is the headquarters of British horseracing - some would say world horseracing, for its facilities are unrivalled anywhere.

There are 2,800 acres of fully-maintained training grounds which include 50 miles of turf gallops and 17 miles of artificial surfaces. The town, the stable yards, the surrounding studs, the two racecourses and the famous heath are steeped in racing history which goes back four centuries.

Horses trained in Newmarket win many of the major races every season, both at home and abroad. And with the world's leading equine vets, the renowned auctioneers Tattersalls as well as top-class farriers, saddlers and ancillary services associated to racing, it is no wonder that the horse takes priority in the town.

It is truly unique.
