1884-1894 Peter Price
Somerville Lodge was built in the late 19th century of gault brick and dropped slate, with one of its earliest resident trainers being the veteran trainer Peter Price who built the place having earlier built Meynell House (Holland House). Peter, born in 1817, had begun training in the 1850s, but confined his training activities to horses owned by Captain Meynell and Edward Tattersall and himself in later years, dying on 23rd April 1894 aged 77 and was buried in Newmarket Cemetery.

NEWMARKET RACECOURSES
For over 4 centuries racing has been staged in Newmarket, but how have the racecourses evolved from an initial starting point at Fleam Dyke Pumping Station, some 8 miles from the town, with a winning post barely 200 metres from the town centre, into two world recognized, excellent racecourses and a universal acceptance that Newmarket is the Headquarters of racing?
To access an interactive racecourse map showing over 50 individually named racecourses CLICK HERE. The map will enable you to:-
1. Determine when extended races over 8 miles, 6 miles and 4 miles began to be replaced by the courses now visited by thousands annually;
2. Consider how the challenge of crossing the Devil's Dyke was overcome;
3. Contemplate why the town no longer has a steeplechase course despite having at least 5 courses during the past 2 centuries;
4. Examine the practicalities of having up to 48 starting posts and winning posts;
5. Appreciate that it was not financially viable to have an open racecourse spread widely across the heath, with a finishing post barely 200 metres from the town centre;
6. Research how and why the Cambridgeshire Handicap has been contested over 3 different courses.
NOTE: The map does not make mention of 2 particular courses:-
(i) Sefton Course (also known as the Cambridge Road Course)
Source: 1970 Raceform. Used from 1959 to 1975.
(ii) New Circular Course
The Circular Handicap was run on Friday 29th October 1875 on the New Circular Course of about two miles.
Source: London Standard (30th October 1875): ''the horses started near the Turn of the Lands, ran back way of the Cambridgeshire Course towards the Ditch, and afterwards proceeded down the side of the Tan Gallop, and turned into the Rowley Mile near the Bretby Stakes starting post, finishing at the stand at the end of the flat. Except in the hollow near the Cambridgeshire start the runners should have been visible all the way if the sky had been bright and clear''.
Another report hoped that the Circular Handicap would become a feature in future programmes, as it would be contested in front of the new grandstand which would be completed in about a year and would be able to accommodate thousands.
(I am grateful to Tim Cox for bringing attention to these 2 courses.)
Enjoy researching the intriguing history of Newmarket and its many racecourses.

1895-1903 Edward Price, Mr James Russell
In the will of veteran Newmarket trainer Peter Price, issued in September 1894, his personal estate was valued at £11,735 (equivalent today to £1.54 million), leaving his Meynell House estate to his nephew, Peter Price, and his Somerville Lodge estate to his nephew Edward Price. During some of the years following the death of Peter Price, and before Dawson Waugh took over in the early years of the 20th century, James Russell was listed as selling a number of horses from his Somerville Lodge base. It is not certain whether he worked in conjunction with Edward Price, or also trained at the racing establishment.

1904-1943 Matthew Dawson Waugh
Matthew Dawson Waugh, named after the great Newmarket trainer Matthew Dawson, was born in 1873 while his father Jack Waugh was training in Poland. He was the 7th son of a 7th son, for good or ill, and his brothers William, Charles and Tom all went into the racing industry. He could have had no better start in his introduction to training than by serving with John Porter at Kingsclere, and then Dawson took over in Hungary as private trainer to Prince Festitics, winning every principal race in the country for his esteemed owner. In 1900 he returned to England to support his brother William, who was private trainer to Sir Blundell Maple at Falmouth House Stables, but who suffered from ill health. In 1904 Dawson was appointed private trainer to Walter Raphael at Somerville Lodge Stables where he enjoyed much success. Dawson registered his own racing colours, orange with brown braid and cap, and enjoyed his first winner as an owner when Diagoras was ridden to victory by Otto Madden. Dawson had learnt from his father the importance of feeling a horse's legs which he did every morning with great skill, testing whether there was excessive heat. In July 1906 the Sporting Life listed all of the Newmarket Stables together with their respective trainers; Matthew Dawson Waugh was listed at Somerville Lodge.

Stable fire Friday 23rd June 1906
Stanley House stables had one of the best equipped Fire Brigades in Newmarket, guarding the stables against potential fire, and in early June 1906 that Brigade was put to the test when a stable fire demolished a small stable block which housed Lord Derby's Keystone II (SR 1927), winner of the 1906 Epsom Oaks and Coronation Stakes. The horse was evacuated to another stable block without harm and the fire was quickly and efficiently extinguished. However, the Stanley House Fire Brigade was called to deal with a much more serious fire at Somerville Stables on Friday 23rd June 1906. The fire began just before one o'clock in one of the lofts over the stable block where Dawson Waugh trained for Walter Raphael among others, and an urgent message was sent to the Newmarket Fire Brigade, at that time directed by Captain F A Simpson, although the Stanley House Stable Fire Brigade was one of the first on the scene, and were later supported by the Fire Brigade from nearby St Alban's House, overseen by trainer J A Dawson. The fire had been spotted by James Brewer, Head Lad at George Blackwell's La Grange Stables, when he noticed smoke coming from the block and raised the alarm. The 16 or 17 horses stabled in the affected block were led to safety and stabled at Meynell House Stables. The fire was under control within 30 minutes, and completely extinguished in less than an hour, and it was thought that the damage would not amount to more than a few hundred pounds insurance claim, although a quantity of saddling and the clothes of the lads were destroyed.

If anyone recognises any of the firefighters shown in the Stanley House Fire Brigade then please contact me.

Dawson laid claim to being the only trainer to train a grey filly to win the Epsom Derby at the time, building on the success of Tagalie (SR 1989) in the 1000 Guineas to land the Epsom Derby for owner Walter Raphael. The next year he won the 2000 Guineas with Louvois (SR 1956) and very nearly landed a second Derby when Louvois was runner-up in the notorious 1913 Epsom Derby in which a suffragette was killed bringing down the King's horse, while the first past the post Craganour was disqualified in favour of 100/1 winner Aboyeur. He did achieve a fourth English Classic in 1924 when Straitlace (SR 1937) won the Epsom Oaks for Sir Edward Hulton. After the death of Walter Raphael and Sir Edward Hulton, Dawson trained for Lord Howard de Walden, winning many important races with Rose En Soleil in 1931. He retired from training, placing Somerville Lodge in the hands of his nephew Jack Waugh in 1943, retiring to Bournemouth where he died on Thursday 3rd November 1955 aged 83.

1938 Percy Waugh
In 1938 Percy Waugh deputised for Dawson and was particularly successful with Lundtofte on its ventures abroad. At that time the stable apprentice was Harry Blackshaw, who later became a successful Middleham trainer, but in the summer of 1938 Harry partnered Lundtofte to success in the Danish Derby in late June, and followed up in the Swedish Derby on 10th July 1938.

1943-1945 Jack Waugh
Jack Alfred James Waugh was born on 11th November 1911, eldest son of the Classic winning racehorse trainer Tom Waugh who won the 1920 1000 Guineas with Cinna (SR 1958). Jack was Head Lad to his father from 1927 until 1932, moving on to take up the post of Assistant Trainer to Basil Jarvis from 1932 to 1939. He served with the Royal Artillery during World War II, but was wounded at Dieppe in 1942 and invalided out. He took over the yard of his uncle, Dawson Waugh at Somerville Lodge, in 1943, winning with Response at Newmarket in April 1943. In 1945 he purchased Heath House Stables, where he trained very successfully for the next quarter of a century.

1946-1955 Claude Halsey
In 1912, prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Claude Halsey was training at Sackville House. He was the son of the successful jockey and trainer William (Bill) Halsey, and was born in 1889, riding his first winner in 1904. Claude's training career was interrupted by the outbreak of the First World War, but he resumed training after the War, enjoying his most successful period as a trainer between 1920 and 1940 at Chantilly, France where his chief patron was Monsieur Alexandre Aumont. In November 1913 he married Doris Watts, daughter of the late trainer Jack Watts, at St Mary's Church, Newmarket, and was given away by her brother, the trainer J E Watts, although they later had an acrimonious divorce. After the Second World War ended he moved to Saville House, Newmarket between 1945 and 1946, before transferring a year later to Somerville Lodge where his son Alan acted as his assistant trainer, remaining at Somerville until his death in 1955. In 1947 Halsey took charge of a 3-year-old French colt in readiness for the Epsom Derby. Pearl Diver was stabled at Somerville Lodge for a brief period of a few weeks in May and June 1947 and officially trained by Claude Halsey at the time of the Epsom Derby, although racecards of the day still recorded it as being trained in France. Note also the colours worn, white with black hoop, not yellow as printed in the racecard.

As a yearling he was inherited by Baron Geoffroy de Waldner on the death of his father-in-law Edward Esmond, and was trained as a 2-year-old by Percy Carter in Chantilly. As a 3-year-old he was awarded the Prix Matchem on disqualification, and was re-housed in Newmarket in preparation for the Epsom Derby. Pearl Diver (SR 2000) won the Derby at 40/1 by 4 lengths in the hands of George Bridgland before returning to France. The 1949 season got off to a flying start for Claude on Lincoln day when he won the first 2 races, the Sudbrooke Plate with Prince Foot and the Cranwell Handicap Plate with Trespass owned by Mrs V Esmond. Claude died of coronary thrombosis on Thursday 29th December 1955, aged 66, and was replaced at Somerville Lodge by son Alan.

I am grateful to Mary O'Byrne, daughter of Claude Halsey, trainer of 1947 Derby winner, for the photo shown below.

February 1956-1957 Alan Halsey
Alan 'Jock' Halsey had served for 9 years as assistant trainer to his father Claude at Somerville Lodge from 1948 to 1955, but when his father died on Thursday 29th December 1955 Alan applied for a licence to train on his own account. He was granted a licence for the 1956 season at the young age of 34, and later the next year moved on to train at Machell Place.

1962-1964 Marcus Marsh
Marcus Maskell Marsh, son of Classic winning trainer Richard Marsh, was born in 1904 and followed in his father's footsteps, landing his first English Classic victory with Windsor Lad (SR 2100) in the 1934 Epsom Derby when training in Lambourn, followed just 3 months later in the St Leger. He had learnt his trade from his uncle, Fred Darling, before moving on as assistant to Captain Richard Gooch at Hodcott House, West Ilsley. In 1950 he took the brave decision to transfer to Newmarket, taking charge at Fitzroy House Stables. It paid almost immediate dividend when he was crowned British Flat Racing Champion Trainer in 1952 on the back of a dual Derby and St Leger victory by Tulyar (SR 2075). Marcus Marsh trained for over 40 years, including a final move to Somerville Lodge, before announcing his retirement in 1964, and then enjoyed 19 years of retirement during which time he wrote his autobiography, Racing with the Gods, in 1968.

1967-1976 Alfred Dalton
Alfred Dalton, previously a National Hunt trainer, took over Somerville Lodge in 1967 and branched out on the flat. One of his most prolific winners across both codes was Derreen who was owned by Huntingdonshire farmer Jack Billings. In 1967 it won the Junior 4-y-o Maiden Hurdle at Nottingham to become the first winner for Alfred's 18-year-old son John, and was so adaptable that it captured the 5 furlong Sedgley All-aged Stakes at Wolverhampton, later in the season going on to win the first running of the Claude Harrison Memorial Challenge Trophy at Haydock Park. Although Alfred kept his winners total moving along steadily for the next 9 years, wins were predominantly in low class handicaps or selling races.

1977-1982 Dickie Westbrook
Richard 'Dickie' Westbrook, born in New Cross, London on 26th July 1927, was a proud Cockney who spent all of his working life in racing, arriving in Newmarket as a 5st 4lb lad, working his way up to Head Lad for Jack Watts via the post of Travelling Head Lad. In 1974, aged 47, he decided to launch his own training career at the 25-box Cadland Stables, winning 3 races in his first season, but also guiding exactly half of his runners to be placed in the first 3. In 1975 he suffered very badly from the stable lads strike as all of his 5 lads were members of the Transport and General Workers Union, which meant he had to feed, water, muck out and exercise all of his string almost singlehandedly. He encouraged his father, a retired bricklayer, to support his efforts, while Daphne, his wife, took a holiday from her job working for the GPO to also land a hand. Such was the respect that some of the top Newmarket jockeys had for Dickie that Brian Taylor, Graham Sexton and Greville Starkey all rode out where they could. Among his best horses during his training career were Silca Star Key, Baltina, who he purchased for just £300 when Alf Dalton retied from training in 1982, guiding that horse to 6 victories from 7 races, and Ring the Bell. It is believed that Westbrook left Cadland Stables to move to Somerville Stables, but the exact dates are uncertain.
October 1982-1985 Geoff Huffer
At the start of the 1979 season Geoff Huffer began training at Cheveley Park Stables, having been assistant to John Bingham in Doncaster. In 1982 he moved stables twice in one season, transferring from Cheveley Park Stables to the Lester Piggott owned Calder Park Stables in January, before moving to Somerville Lodge in October 1982. He then moved on to La Grange stables in 1985 where he trained predominantly for Kuwait based owners and enjoyed a Group race success in 1988 when Persian Heights won the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.

1987-present William Haggas
William Haggas, son of Brian, a Yorkshire Textile factory owner, was born at Skipton, Yorkshire on 23rd August 1960, and did not spend his early years in a racing environment. He was educated at Harrow-on-the-Hill and was a keen cricketer, representing Harrow at Lords against their arch rivals Eton College. Although he spent a short time working in his father's textile business, after 3 months he escaped to Newmarket, learning his trade from John Winter and Sir Mark Prescott. He launched his own training career in 1987 at Somerville Lodge, although initially he was in charge of a small string of 40 horses. He is married to Lester Piggott's daughter Maureen, and they have 2 children, Maryanne and Sam. He gained an early success with Tricky Note on 15th April 1987, while one of his first major winners was Bog Trotter, owned by his father Brian, who won the 1990 Champagne Stakes. In 1996 he won the Epsom Derby with Shaamit (SR 1970) owned by Khalifa Dasmal and ridden by Michael Hills, although he had to wait a further 15 years before landing his second English Classic, the 2011 Epsom Oaks with Dancing Rain (SR 1799). He had a record-breaking number of winners in 2014, equalling the record in the 2015 season, and then surpassing the total in 2016. William continues to send out high profile winners from Somerville Lodge both in the UK and on the International stage.
