Three Friday Nights

Welcome to the final edition of our Three Friday Nights in 2023.

Whether you have already enjoyed a night of racing and DJs this month or if you are making your first visit, you are assured a memorable evening.

Six thrilling contests on the track set the tempo for the night, with a warmup DJ set from Mr Doris on the East Parade Lawn, courtesy of our friends Pacha Ibiza. Raising the adrenaline after racing, Roger Sanchez takes to the #3FN stage at 9pm.

After this evening we will be turning our attention to the Qatar Goodwood Festival for five days of unmissable sport, entertainment and splendour from Tuesday 1 to Saturday 5 August. I very much hope you will be able to join us then.

My thanks go to all our sponsors for their generous support of racing at Goodwood. I wish you all a fun and enjoyable evening.

Sponsor’s Thank You

Goodwood Racecourse is very grateful to this year’s sponsors for their generous and continued support throughout the 2023 season. Today we would like to thank:

Become a Racecourse Sponsor

Sponsoring a race is an excellent way of raising your company’s profile and generating great brand awareness. What’s more, being associated with Goodwood is an opportunity to reflect the style and quality of your business. There are various levels of sponsorship available to suit your requirements.

For further details and prices please contact Tony Langenegger on 01243 755022 or by e-mail tony.langenegger@goodwood.com.

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.

RAINYNITEINGEORGIA had the misfortune to bump into Beautiful Diamond at Nottingham and was ultimately no match for the expensive breeze-up purchase, but William Jarvis' youngster beat the rest fair and square and is fancied to make it second-time lucky. Sennockian has displayed a good level of ability in his two starts, while Loaded Gun performed with credit in a competitive Beverley contest Notta Nother offered encouragement at Sandown and also has to enter the equation.

Race Summary

LA PULGA was only narrowly denied over this trip at Pontefract latest and Charlie Johnston's inmate is taken to benefit from a drop in class here Although he has to shoulder top-weight, he bolted up over 1m 5f at Hamilton two starts back leaving the impression there is a lot more to come. Vega Sicilia sports first-time blinkers following a good second at York and is feared most, while Andaleep also makes some appeal.

Race Summary

Desperate Hero scored with plenty to spare at Windsor recently and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to halt him, but slight preference is for SPARTAN ARROW after he caught the eye when failing to get a clear run in a decent contest over 6f at the same course. A Brighton maiden winner last month, Simon & Ed Crisford's colt looks capable of better and he could deliver on that promise with a clear passage. Woolhampton completes the shortlist.

ANOTHER RUN boasts as good a chance as any on the basis that he comes here on the back of a career-best effort at Doncaster Andrew Balding's colt was denied narrowly in handicap company on that occasion and might have more to offer going up in trip on just his third start on turf.

Sceptic was dropped 1lb for his recent fourth at York, which was a solid effort, and he remains capable of taking another step forward. Nails Murphy has shaped well on both starts, including when third under a penalty at Kempton, and he enters the reckoning on his handicap bow. The vote, though, goes to HALLA DUBAI, who has progressed with each run to date and an opening mark of 83 appears to be workable following his second at Doncaster
