Goodwood Races | Racecourse Guide, Help & Tips

Goodwood is one of the premier Flat racecourses in Britain, best known for its Glorious Goodwood Festival, which is generally held during the last week of July over a five day period. All of its Group 1 contests are held during the Festival, with the most notable in recent years perhaps being the Sussex Stakes, held over a mile. Several high-profile clashes have occurred in this race in recent years, all dubbed as “Duels on the Downs”, with the first being the clash between a three-year-old Frankel and the high-class four-year-old Canford Cliffs back in 2011. However, it is perhaps the Stewards’ Cup, a six-furlong sprint handicap held on the Saturday of the meeting, which is the most popular race for punters at the course.

Statistics for the last 5 seasons.

Right handed, undulating. There are two bends; all races up to a mile and a quarter use the lower bend, and in excess of eleven furlongs use the top bend. Although there is a five-furlong run-in from the top bend, the turns and the pronounced downhill gradients make Goodwood essentially a sharp track, favouring handy types, particularly in the shorter-distance races. The five-furlong course is one of the fastest in the country, meaning speedy sorts often have an advantage. A notoriously tricky course, those held up regularly meet trouble in the straight, particularly when kept to the rail.
