The Course

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.

RACES ONLY ENTER STRAIGHT BY LOWER

Three Remaining 2023 Fixtures

August Bank Holiday

Friday 25– Sunday 27 August

August Bank Holiday racing commences with a bang with our annual Friday night fireworks spectacle. On Saturday, the high octane Group racing features the competitive Celebration Mile and Prestige Stakes before the much-anticipated pony racing gets the action underway on a super Sunday.

The Group 3 Supreme Stakes and the everpopular amateur jockey’s handicap add intrigue to a fabulous weekend. Enjoy a family day out, with no charge for those under 18, and complimentary activities including traditional fairground rides, petting zoo, face painting, circus tutors and more. On track, the most valuable three days of racing at Goodwood outside of the flagship Qatar Goodwood Festival will take place.
