Half-price tickets for Aussies -
Australian passport holders will receive half-price admission on Thursday as Aussie sprinter Choisir bids to win Europe's premier sprint race.
The offer applies both to the Members' Enclosure (full price £28; £14 for Australian passport holders) and the Grandstand & Paddock Enclosure (full price £15; £7.50 for Australian passport holders).
Newmarket Racecourses managing director Lisa Hancock said: "Australians love supporting their many sporting superstars, especially against us 'Poms'!
"We hope that as many as possible will come to Newmarket on Thursday to see if Choisir can put Europe's best sprinters to the sword once again and complete an unprecedented sprint hat-trick in just a 23 day period.
"It would be a remarkable achievement if he can and would unquestionably give him the title of Champion Sprinter in Europe.
"With so many Australians living in London, which is only about 65 miles away, we hope that a number will make the journey to Newmarket.
"Hopefully the offer of half-price admission on the production of a valid Australian passport will provide that bit of extra encouragement."
Choisir will renew rivalry in the Darley July Cup with the brilliant British filly, Airwave, who was a fine second to the Australian speedster in Royal Ascot's Golden Jubilee Stakes. The pair dominate the ante-post betting on the big race at Newmarket's three-day July Meeting, which starts with Ladies' Day on Tuesday 8 July.
