Three Friday Nights

Welcome to the second of our Three Friday Nights, featuring Felix da Housecat.

Before we start this evening’s racing, I would like to take a moment to remember my mother Susan, Duchess of Richmond and Gordon, who died peacefully at home on Tuesday, June 13 at the marvellous age of 90.

She led an exceptional life, entirely committed to improving the lot of both humans and animals. She contributed so much to Goodwood, and was responsible for putting the Estate back on its feet when she and her husband, Charles, took it on in 1969. She will be remembered by all who met her as the kindest and most loving person.

In tribute to the sport that she so loved, I would like to wish you all a wonderful evening.

The Duke of Richmond and Gordon Chairman, Goodwood Racecourse

Course Characteristics

Goodwood’s pronounced gradients and sharp bends favour the active, handy type of horse, the fluent mover rather than the big, long-striding runner, and this applies especially in short races and when the going is fast.

1 MY MARGIE (IRE) (-)

9-2 (2)

B f Dandy Man (IRE) - Agapantha (USA) (Dynaformer (USA)) Jockey: Pat Cosgrave

Owner: Mr R. Gander

Trainer: Richard Hughes, Upper Lambourn

Breeder: Premier Bloodstock

Sponsor: The Garden Cider Company Ltd

Colours: RED, large YELLOW spots, armlets and spots on cap.

Form:

Half-sister to Chelsea Green, won twice at 7f and 1m. There is a fair bit to like in her pedigree so she is dangerous to ignore, despite the likelihood that a longer trip might suit. Official BHA Rating -

2 PHOENIX DUCHESS (IRE) (23)

Gr f Phoenix of Spain (IRE) - Kassandra (IRE) (Dandy Man (IRE))

Owner: Johnstone Partnership

Trainer: Harry Eustace, Newmarket

Breeder: KCS Bloodstock Ltd

Sponsor: Cambproperty Ltd

9-2 (3)

Jockey: Kaiya Fraser (7)

Colours: CRIMSON, GREEN cap.

Form: 50

Half-sister to Knocklane Lass, won at 7f. Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 7l behind Born To Rock at 6-1 when eighth of 12 on her latest outing at Yarmouth over 5f (good to firm) last month. Showed flashes of ability in each of her previous starts but needs more here. Official BHA Rating -

3 QUORATE (GB) (-)

B f Havana Gold (IRE) - Funday (Daylami (IRE))

Owner: Mrs Mary-Anne Parker

Trainer: Charles Hills, Lambourn

Breeder: Crimbourne Bloodstock Ltd

Sponsor: Stonegate Homes

9-2 (8)

Jockey: Kevin Stott

Colours: ORANGE, PURPLE cross belts.

Form:

Half-sister to Kwela, won three times between 6f and 1m 1f. There is a stout side to her pedigree and it would come as no surprise to see her develop as she gains experience from here. Her yard has made a good start with its juveniles, though. Official BHA Rating -

4 REFLEXION FAITE (FR) (18)

B f Intello (GER) - Lady Ascot (IRE) (Excellent Art)

Owner: Nick Brown Racing

Trainer: Kevin Philippart de Foy, Newmarket

Breeder: Mme Aliette Forien & Mr Gilles Forien

Sponsor: Kpf Racing Ltd

9-2 (4)

Jockey: Ray Dawson

Colours: BLACK, RED sash, WHITE sleeves and cap.

Form: 0

Half-sister to Ascot Angel, won seven times between 1m and 1m 2f. Beaten 10l behind Chief Mankato when eighth of 12 on her debut at Windsor over 6f (good to firm) last month. She is likely to be more alert regarding the starting procedure and improvement is possible. Official BHA Rating -

5 SHIRLASKI (GB) (35)

B f Eqtidaar (IRE) - Shurfah (IRE) (Sea The Stars (IRE))

Owner: Bronte Collection 1

Trainer: Eve Johnson Houghton, Blewbury

Breeder: Shadwell Estate Company Limited

Sponsor: Abm Catering Limited

9-2 (6)

Jockey: Charles Bishop

Colours: GREY, GOLD sleeves and cap.

Form: 5

Half-sister to Muhtashim, won at 1m. Finished 5l behind Dawn Charger when fifth of 7 at 5-1 on her racecourse debut at Ascot over 5f (soft) last month. She holds an appealing pedigree and, given the form of her introduction is working out, is a key player here. Official BHA Rating -

6 WHAT A QUESTION (GB) (-)

Ch f Lope de Vega (IRE) - Ceisteach (IRE) (New Approach (IRE))

Owner: Ballylinch Stud

Trainer: Charlie Johnston, Middleham

Breeder: Newsells Park Stud & Lope de Vega Synd.

Sponsor: Tote

9-2 (5)

Jockey: James Doyle

Colours: EMERALD GREEN, ORANGE epaulets and armlets, ORANGE cap, WHITE star.

Form:

Half-sister to Arranmore, won four times at 6f and 1m. Her dam was a Grade 3 winner in the US and is half-sister to Irish Group 3 winner Steip Amach, so she ticks the right boxes on pedigree for a yard who do particularly well at this track. Official BHA Rating -

7 ADAAY IN DEVON (GB) (32) (2lb)

B f Adaay (IRE) - Favourite Girl (IRE) (Refuse To Bend (IRE))

Owner: Horniwinks Racing Syndicate

9-0 (7)

Jockey: Ross Coakley

Colours: EMERALD GREEN, WHITE cross belts, chevrons on sleeves, WHITE cap.

Form: 5

Half-sister to Devon Envoy, won three times at 5f and 6f. Finished 2 1/2l behind Mariamne when fifth of 11 at 16-1 on her racecourse debut at Wolverhampton over 5f last month. She ran green that day but finished strongly and is likely to be a lot wiser for the experience. Official BHA Rating -

8 PERFECT SPRING (GB) (-) (2lb)

B f Oasis Dream - Dutch Treat (Dutch Art)

Owner: Mildmay Racing

Trainer: Andrew Balding, Kingsclere

Breeder: Mildmay Bloodstock & Mr D. H. Caslon

Sponsor: Mildmay Farm & Stud Ltd

Charlie Parker

9-0 (9)

Jockey: David Probert

Colours: DARK BLUE, LIGHT BLUE epaulets, DARK BLUE and ORANGE striped sleeves, ORANGE cap.

Form:

Dam won twice over 7f. She also finished second in the 2018 renewal of the Listed Washington Singer Stakes when running for this yard, so the trainer knows the family well. She is one to monitor closely in the betting and appeals for future reference too Official BHA Rating -

9 SHE WORE NO JEWELS (IRE) (-) (2lb)

B f Ten Sovereigns (IRE) - Crisaff’s Queen (Zoffany (IRE))

Owner: Oak Lodge Racing

Trainer: Clive Cox, Hungerford

Sponsor: Clive Cox Racing Limited

9-0 (10)

Jockey: John Fahy

Colours: GOLD, DARK BLUE sleeves, BROWN cap.

Form:

Dam a Listed winner in Italy over an extended 5f. Another with a highly appealing profile on paper given her in-form yard has hit the ground running with its juvenile this year. Official BHA Rating -

10 LAND OF MAGIC (GB) (20) (4lb)

Race Summary

What A Question has a lot going for her on paper and, along with fellow debutants Perfect Spring and She Wore No Jewels, warrants serious thought. However, the previous experience held by SHIRLASKI is a vital factor and, given the form of her debut is working out, the daughter of Eqtidaar appeals strongly in this intriguing maiden. Adaay In Devon also caught the eye with a strong finish on her racecourse bow at Wolverhampton and is another to consider.

VEGAS JACK:Following its run on 26/5/2023 it was reported that the horse was hampered late-on.

Race Summary

Recent Chelmsford winner LUCKY FIFTEEN has been highly progressive since making the switch to handicap company last month and Ralph Beckett's charge boasts strong credentials. He beat subsequent winner Lady Rascal when finishing in second at Newbury on his penultimate outing and could prove tough to peg back on his return to turf.

Race Summary

Vaynor rounded off last season with back-to-back victories on the all-weather before finishing down the field at Newmarket on last month's reappearance. Though it would be no surprise were he to resume his progress down in class, preference is for CRESCENT LAKE. A winner over C&D before finishing a creditable fourth at Salisbury 20 days ago, Gary Moore's charge can put his track craft to good use. Others to note include Ravens Ark and State Of Bliss.

Win: CRESCENT LAKE

Race Summary

MISS MAI TAI bounced back to form with a determined success at Leicester last month and a mere 2lb rise for that win may not be enough to stop her going in again. She is narrowly preferred to Flying Barty, who was an eye-catcher when keeping on in third at Bath on her first start for new connections. Puffable is another to consider, having moved stables from Ralph Beckett and now tried in a hood.

Win: MISS MAI TAI

Danger: Flying Barty

The Michael Leahy Memorial Handicap Stakes

Michael was born on the west coast of Ireland on the Beara peninsula. He moved to England in WW2 and lived in Cranleigh Surrey for 70 years. From an early age like many young Irishmen, he took to racing with a passion. When he met his wife Elizabeth, the second date was to the Point-to-Point racing at Pepper Harrow, near Godalming.

Throughout his adult life he followed the form and made sure we his family watched the major races like the Grand National, Oaks and Derby. When he retired, he followed Channel 4 racing most days and made his picks but never actually put a bet on, thus gladly telling us what he would have won or lost with no liability!

His love of racing has been imbued in his family, where his family now sponsor races here at Goodwood. His family are delighted to be honouring Michael’s memory with the running of this race today commemorating what would have been his 100th Birthday.

Race Summary

FAIRBANKS arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories having improved since being switched into handicap company at Haydock last month. He backed that performance up at Leicester in impressive style recently and is 5lb well-in under a penalty. Golspie shaped as though he may benefit from an extra couple of furlongs when fourth at Salisbury on his second start, while Bulldog Spirit could have more to offer following his recent success at Doncaster.

Win: FAIRBANKS

Race Summary

Rawyaan sets the standard having hit the crossbar off this mark at Brighton late last month, but marginal preference is for the unexposed MONTY BAY. Clive Cox's gelding has progressed with each start and got off the mark over 7f at Chepstow two weeks ago. Off an opening mark of 81, the son of Night Of Thunder could be hard to beat on his handicap bow. Others who make the shortlist are Man Of Eden and Cliffs Of Capri.

Win: MONTY BAY Danger: Rawyaan
