elcome to Goodwood Racecourse on the opening day of the 2023 Qatar Goodwood Festival.

With five thrilling days ahead, we have much to look forward to as we once again welcome the world’s finest Thoroughbreds and their leading international jockeys, as well as racegoers from across the globe.

This afternoon’s Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup will see Ascot rivalries renewed with many of the leading contenders, who can already boast form on the Downs, reopposing in the second leg of the Stayers’ Triple Crown and the third stage of the QIPCO British Champions Series long-distance category.

Last year’s winner, Kyprios, followed-up victory in the Ascot Gold Cup to give Ryan Moore his second success in the race and should that feat be emulated this year, we can expect riotous scenes in the Winner’s Enclosure as Frankie Dettori celebrates his fifth win in the race since Schiaparelli in 2009.

We also welcome this year’s winner of the Goodwood Talent in Fashion Award, Sohee Park and hope you enjoy seeing the beautiful gowns she has created, each one of them inspired by Goodwood’s history.

We extend our gratitude to the Qatar Racing & Equestrian Club, Al Shaqab and the sponsors of today’s races World Pool, Nicholson Gin, The British European Breeders’ Fund and the Festival’s Official Fixed Odds Betting Partner, Coral.

I hope you have a most enjoyable day.

The Duke of Richmond and Gordon 3

Goodwood History Horses have raced at Goodwood since at least the 1740s, and perhaps earlier. A painting in the Goodwood Collection from that period shows the second Duke of Richmond surveying a race in the grounds, with Chichester Cathedral in the backdrop. The Duke’s passion for the turf came from his father, the first Duke of Richmond, who rode at Newmarket aged fourteen, and his grandfather, King Charles II, who rode, set out the rules, and rebuilt the royal Palace at Newmarket. Until the very early nineteenth century, race meetings at Goodwood were private affairs, organised between the Dukes of Richmond and their friends and neighbours. In 1801, a private meeting held by the third Duke of Richmond for the Sussex Militia prompted a change. The meeting’s success drove the third Duke to hold the first public meeting the following year. This saw an exciting head-to-head between Cedar, owned by the third Duke, and Rebel, who belonged to the future King George IV. Rebel was victorious!

From then on, the Goodwood meeting took place every summer, becoming a firm fixture in the racing calendar. The fourth Duke of Richmond introduced the Goodwood Cup in 1812, and the fifth Duke of Richmond, influenced by his great friend Lord George Bentinck, threw resources into the racecourse, including major earthworks in 1829 to extend the racecourse to the foot of the Trundle. Innovations included the pre-race parade of horses and public saddling, designed to hinder the skulduggery that went on behind the scenes and with which the sport was rife. From those early days, ‘Glorious Goodwood’ – as the press dubbed the meeting – became a highlight of the English summer season. King Edward VII, who attended every year, famously described it as ‘a garden party with racing tacked on’ and helped relax the dress-code from the more formal morning coats and top hats to straw hats and lounge suits.

The King also exhibited his colourful wardrobe, on one occasion matching a pink shirt with lavender gloves. The meeting became the place to debut new styles, and for women, show off the latest gowns and hats. For everyone, Goodwood became the final fling of the season before all departed for Cowes Regatta on the Isle of Wight or the Highlands of Scotland.

For much of its early history, racing took place over three consecutive days (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday), with Tuesday being added later. Under the tenth Duke of Richmond, Saturday racing was introduced and the race programme enlarged from four to twenty days across the season. Today, Goodwood is rightly hailed as the most beautiful racecourse in the world and the place where many of the greatest racehorses have battled it out on the top of the South Downs.

Racing in Goodwood Park, 1740s, is the earliest surviving depiction of racing taking place on the Goodwood Estate. It shows the second Duke of Richmond, dressed in a fine blue knee-length coat, embellished with gold brocade thread, surveying the scene. Sarah, Duchess of Richmond stands to the right of him, and in the background is the spire of Chichester Cathedral.

Racehorses Exercising at Goodwood by George Stubbs, 1759-60, depicting Mary, Duchess of Richmond watching her husband, the third Duke of Richmond’s, racehorses galloping on the estate.

The Duchess is accompanied by Richard Buckner, the Estate Steward, and her sister-in-law, Lady Louisa Lennox.

In 1827, the fifth Duke of Richmond had his first classic success with Gulnare in the Oaks. The horse is seen here with his trainer, John Kent, and jockey, Frank Boyce, in the Richmond racing colours of yellow and red.

The 1884 winner of the Goodwood Cup, St Simon, was an outstanding racehorse, who was later referred to as the most influential stallion of the late Victorian and Edwardian era.

Amongst the crowd are leading aristocrats and celebrities of the day, including the composers, Gilbert and Sullivan. The sixth Duke of Richmond can be seen helping Lady Leveson Gower climb up the grass step.

Raceweek house party at Goodwood in 1904 with Edward VII and the seventh Duke of Richmond seated towards the middle. In 1904, the King took advantage of the custom that male fashion would follow the monarch and turned up with a white silk top hat instead of the regulation black one. This was all part of his plan to relax the dress code. Male followers of fashion hurried back to London to beg their hatters to supply the ‘royal model’ overnight!

10

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was a frequent visitor to Goodwood, and is here shown with the ninth Duke of Richmond during raceweek in 1961. Her Majesty had many winners at Goodwood, including Apprentice in 1965 and Gaulois in 1966, both of whom won the Goodwood Cup. Her Majesty’s final winning racehorse was at Goodwood.

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.

2022 WINNER: LORD RIDDIFORD (IRE) 7 8 12 Jason Hart 10-1 (John Quinn) 15 ran STEWARDS NOTED: CLARENDON HOUSE:Following its run on 7/7/2023 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

RAASEL:Following its run on 15/7/2023 it was reported that the horse suffered interference 2f out.

EXISTENT:Following its run on 29/7/2023 it was reported that the horse reared leaving the stalls.

ALLIGATOR ALLEY:Following its run on 18/6/2023 it was reported that the horse hung left handed.

Race Summary LORD RIDDIFORD might not have been at his best recently, but he has won this contest two years on the spin, the latest off 3lb higher, and John Quinn’s battle-hardened sprinter is fancied to bounce back at his favoured venue. Navello makes obvious appeal having landed the Dash off 3lb lower in June, while Raasel, who posted an improved effort at Ascot 17 days ago, might not be far away either. Vintage Clarets and Dream Composer are also noted.

Danger: Navello

Win: LORD RIDDIFORD

The Trifecta paid more than double the Tricast in this race last year, Dusky Lord and Night On Earth chasing home Lord Riddiford, who goes for the hat-trick this year. Work your perm around him being in the frame again, then include the in-form Vintage Clarets and Alligator Alley, who was dropped a 1lb for a 1¼ length defeat last time at Doncaster.

2022 WINNER: MISCHIEF MAGIC (IRE) 2 9 2 William Buick 7-4 (Charlie Appleby) 18 ran

An intriguing maiden in which ARRAY gets the vote in following a pleasing second on his racecourse debut at Newbury last month, beating subsequent winner Indian Run into third.

His pedigree needs no introduction to any racing fan and, given his dam is a half-sister to the world-class Frankel, there is likely much more to come from Andrew Balding’s inmate.

Alaskan Gold finished third over this distance at Nottingham on his racecourse debut and is feared most, while the unraced A La Noche appeals most of the newcomers.

Danger: Alaskan Gold

Win: ARRAY

The Exotics are the way to go again here with the Exacta paying more than twice as much as the bookies forecast in last year’s renewal. The favourite has won three of the last four runnings of this race, so bank on the well fancied Array. Union Island is the other to pick as Charlie Johnston has a 50% strike rate with 2yo’s at Goodwood.

CAIUS CHORISTER:Following its run on 25/6/2023 it was reported that the horse suffered interference.

PARADIAS:Following its run on 8/7/2023 it was reported that the horse hung badly left handed.

MOKTASAAB:Following its run on 8/7/2023 it was reported that the horse was denied a clear run late on.

Race Summary PRIDE OF AMERICA (winner), Haunted Dream (third) and Millebosc (seventh) were heavily involved in a good quality renewal of the John Smith’s Cup at York last month and, while they all boast solid claims, the former shades preference and is fancied to come out on top again off just a 4lb higher mark. The ground has come up in his favour and, with Frederick Larson able to claim 3lb, there is a lot to like about his chance. Sandown winner Lord Protector is another who commands attention.

Win: PRIDE OF AMERICA

Danger: Haunted Dream

£3,670.40 is what the Trifecta paid in this race last year and the bookies’ tricast was just over £900, so perm up again with 16 declared.

Mark Johnston won this four times since 2014, including last year with son Charlie, and now as a sole license holder, Charlie’s Outbreak should be backed in the perm. David Munuisier and Sir Mark Prescott have excellent strike rates in these kinds of races at Goodwood, so include Eagle’s Way and Caius Chorister. Moktasaab is another to consider, who was 3rd in this last year, but returns off a 5lb lower mark.

2022 WINNER: MARBAAN 2 9 3 Jamie Spencer 14-1 (Charlie Fellowes) 9 ran

Race Summary HAATEM has progressed well since catching the eye here on his racecourse debut in May. Fifth in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, he filled the runner-up spot in the Superlative at Newmarket behind City Of Troy, when seeing out this distance well, and, without a rival of that calibre in this line-up, Richard Hannon’s colt has the ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways. Iberian made a bright start to his career at Newbury and should go well along with Chesham third Golden Mind.

Win: HAATEM

Danger: Iberian

The favourite has won seven of the last 10 renewals of the Vintage Stakes which fares well for Haatem and Iberian who are battling it out at the top of the betting. Both hold strong chances, so although it might not be the biggest priced winner you have all day, put the pair in an Exacta and hope that the way they have taken each other on in the betting also plays out on the track.

2022 WINNER: SANDRINE 3 8 9 David Probert 12-1 (Andrew Balding) 11 ran

Race Summary KINROSS looks solid in here given he finished a neck second in the race 12 months ago and won it the year before that. A dual Group 1 winner last year and last seen finishing a close-up third in the July Cup at Newmarket, Ralph Beckett’s charge ticks plenty of boxes and is expected to prove tough to beat. Isaac Shelby is another dropping down from Group 1 company, though, and he can put up a good fight getting 6lb from the selection following his fourth to Paddington in the St James’s Palace Stakes. Al Suhail and Criterion Stakes winner Audience add further spice to the race.

Win: KINROSS

Danger: Isaac Shelby

Frankie Dettori is notoriously overbacked in the World Pool, so taking on Kinross might just pay a handsome reward. Rumour has it that the Gosden’s fancy their chances with Audience, who has won his last two starts, including the G3 Criterion Stakes at Newmarket most recently. Take a chance on him to win the World Pool sponsored Lennox Stakes.

2022 WINNER: KYPRIOS (IRE) 4 9 11 Ryan Moore 6-4 (Aidan O’Brien) 9 ran

STEWARDS NOTED: ENEMY:Following its run on 25/5/2023 it was reported that the horse was fatigued after a hard season.

Race Summary COURAGE MON AMI maintained his unbeaten record when taking a massive step forward from a handicap success here to land the Gold Cup. That was only his fourth career start and, with the prospect of more improvement to come, it would be no surprise to see the son of Frankel prove too strong for the opposition. Coltrane gave the selection plenty to think about at Royal Ascot and arrives at the peak of his powers, while any rain will suit the fourth from that contest Emily Dickinson.

Win: COURAGE MON AMI

Danger: Coltrane

We mentioned previously that Frankie Dettori is well backed in the World Pool, but it’s hard to ignore him here aboard Courage Mon Ami. The Ascot Gold Cup winner was super impressive that day and it’s hard to see anything but him and Coltrane battling it out again.

STEWARDS NOTED: FLOATING SPIRIT:Following its run on 7/5/2023 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

YOUNGEST:Following its run on 23/6/2023 it was reported that the horse ran too free.

LADY MOJITO:Following its run on 22/7/2023 it was reported that the horse suffered interference in running.

Race Summary In a wide-open heat, only a tentative vote can go to GOOD GRACIOUS. The daughter of Kingman took a significant step forward when fitted with first-time blinkers, winning in good style at Ascot 18 days ago, and a subsequent 8lb rise might not halt further progress.

The hat-trick seeking Rowayeh appeals as a likely player from 5lb higher than her handicap debut success at Sandown, while Bridestones and Royal Dress can also figure. Back See Daa and Novus are just two others to consider.

Danger: Rowayeh

Win: GOOD GRACIOUS

With 20 runners declared for this Fillies’ Handicap, it’s a great chance to play the Swinger, where you need just two of your selections to be placed in the first three - finding 2nd and 3rd in last year’s race paid £20.05 to a £1 stake. This time, aim to do that with Stormy Sea, Rowayeh, Espresso and Rajindri.

Race Summary This could go the way of the hat-trick seeking KITAI, who kept on well to score by two and a half lengths over this distance at Pontefract last month. A 7lb rise may not be enough to hold her back here and she is taken to get the better of the grade-dropping Funny Story, who wasn’t disgraced in Listed company at Ayr in June. Candle Of Hope also warrants consideration following a creditable run at Royal Ascot last time out.

Win: KITAI

Danger: Funny Story

RACE EIGHT

You could have landed as much as £76.95 from a £1 bet on the Swinger in the 2022 running of this, so we’ll stick with that bet type again. Kitai won nicely at Pontefract last time, so shape your perm around her, then play Crazy Luck and Minnetonka who are ridden by Oisin Murphy and Jamie Spencer respectively, both who have excellent records in 3yo races at this track SELECTIONS: Kitai, Crazy Luck, Minnetonka BET TYPE: Swinger
