A stunned spectator filmed as security guards rushed to the scene to break the fight up. 

'First trip back to Newmarket in   years, and these idiots ruined a family day out,' they wrote.

'The poor security staff, and racegoers that had to witness it! Nasty thugs that shouldn't be allowed on a racecourse again!

'It was even worse out the front. Felt so bad for the security, so many people involved and totally outnumbered. People picking up furniture and using as weapons; glasses thrown - really nasty!'

No arrests were made and a Newmarket racecourse spokesperson said: 'There was an isolated disturbance after racing had concluded, which was quickly dealt with by security.

'The matter was referred to Suffolk Police as such behaviour is unacceptable.

'Otherwise, nearly 7,000 spectators enjoyed a fantastic day at Newmarket without incident.'

MailOnline has contacted Suffolk Police.  

This is the second fight in as many months to hit an English racecourse.

One man, 26, was arrested on suspicion of affray, causing actual bodily harm and possession of cocaine during a scrap at Goodwood in August.

The policies that led to the turmoil in Afghanistan, from Bush to Biden

Each president has handled the ongoing struggle differently, but none has succeeded in bringing America's longest war to a peaceful conclusion. As the country falls under Taliban rule, the current retreat has resulted in a bitter battle to expel American citizens and Afghan friends.
