As Newmarket does not hold any ordinary shares in Treasury its total number of
voting rights equals its capital.

The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, Newmarket under the FSA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
