fortified by humic acid. This product stimulates microbial activity and encourages root development, and is applied to the final three furlongs of the Rowley Mile and the final two furlongs of the July Course. “As the horses are accelerating at the end of the race, they grab the surface more effectively and damage the turf to a greater extent,” Alan explains. “We need strong and extensive root growth on the whole course, but particularly in the final furlongs.” Also, in mid March, Multigreen 425 (28:0:0), a controlled release fertiliser activated by soil temperature, is applied to the whole of the Rowley Mile and the Beacon, while Xtend, the company’s slow release product (15:2:20) is applied to the July Course.
“We give the July Course a second application of Xtend (46:0:0) at the end of May, with a view to stimulating fresh growth and improving colour prior to the start of the summer season of racing on the July Course,” Alan continues. At the end of August both the Rowley Mile and the July Course receive a second application of Naturvigor to the same final furlongs as before, and the Rowley Mile and the Beacon receive Xtend (15:2:20) across all areas, to prepare them for their autumn racing. In addition, Alan and his team have Newmarket’s fine turf areas - the ornamental lawns and the parade rings - to look after. “Both the Rowley Mile and the July Course have their own parade ring, and also lawns behind the grandstand, around the bar areas, for
owners and trainers,” Alan explains. “Our maintenance and nutritional
programmes for all these areas are the same, starting with an application of Headland’s Multiverdo at the beginning of March to encourage growth.” At the beginning of April, Alan and his team apply Multigreen controlled release fertiliser, which is expected to perform as a background feed over the next four months and, at the end of the month, all the fine turf is sprayed with TriCure AD wetting agent. Turfcomplex organic seaweed is also applied at this time mainly, Alan says, to enhance colour. “We use Greentec fine turf fertiliser in the middle of May and again at the beginning of July and October to get more growth through,” Alan continues. “It works well for us in conjunction with
