Goodwood Racecard - Saturday 26th August

Family Fun

Welcome to Goodwood on day two of our traditional three-day August Bank Holiday fixture.

Prize money for today’s seven-race card exceeds £370,000 making it our most valuable race day outside of the Qatar Goodwood Festival.

The race programme is highlighted by the £150,000 Group 2 William Hill Celebration Mile, conceived as a natural follow-up to the £1 million Qatar Sussex Stakes and with an illustrious roll of honour, which includes such luminaries as Brigadier Gerard, Kris, Known Fact, Selkirk, Mark Of Esteem and subsequent Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Raven’s Pass.

While three-year-olds have enjoyed by far the best record in the race since its inception in 1967, seven of the last ten winners including last year’s victor, the Simon & Ed Crisford-trained Jadoomi, have been aged four years or older. In 2017 Lightening Spear, at the age of six and in the colours of Qatar Racing Limited, became the only horse to win back-toback runnings of the race.

Today’s feature is supported by a valuable William Hill Handicap and the Group 3 William Hill Prestige Stakes for two-year-old fillies won last year by Fairy Cross initiating a Group race double on the day for jockey William Buick.

All the fun of the fair returns with our traditional 1950’s funfair offering complimentary rides for the younger racegoers and live music throughout the afternoon will add to a relaxed Bank Holiday feel.

My thanks go to our sponsors William Hill and the British EBF and to you for choosing to spend your day at Goodwood.

The Duke of Richmond & 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.

Race Summary

Al Hujaija pulled too hard at Newmarket last month and failed to get home as a result of that, but should benefit from this drop back in trip. However, the vote goes to RULING SOVEREIGN, who was a promising fourth at Windsor on debut. The George Scott-trained filly was very green on that occasion and looks sure to have benefitted from the experience, while the booking of James Doyle looks another positive sign. Adaay In Devon got off the mark in impressive style earlier this month and is also respected.

Race Result

Race Summary

An interesting mix of form versus potential here. Easy Haydock winner FOREVER BLUE looks a serious player and may represent a bit of value. Ralph Beckett's filly quickened clear inside the final furlong on her introduction in the manner of a very promising juvenile and there should be more to come. Elegant Madame, who could be a surprise package at a price after her cosy debut success, and Albany Stakes eighth Carla's Way are others to consider

Win: FOREVER BLUE

Race Summary

Aldaary boasts some high-class form and, given he has won over a mile, he has to be taken very seriously in his bid to gain a first success at this level. However, CHARYN came out best when the duo finished third and fourth in the Sussex Stakes here 24 days ago and, granted his rock-solid previous efforts, Roger Varian's colt is taken to add to the Group 2 success he gained in France last October Epictetus won a Group 3 over this C&D earlier in the month and also looks a big player

Race Summary

STAR OF ORION was a very good third in the International Stakes over 7f at Ascot last time and he appears the one to beat. Ralph Beckett's charge was beaten just three-quarters of a length in third on that occasion and he can enjoy a change of fortunes, despite being raised 2lb in the ratings for that effort. Ramazan is feared most after his one-length success over 7f at Chepstow off 3lb lower earlier this month, while Rhoscolyn should also be taken seriously.

Win: STAR OF ORION

The 1 3/4m handicap at Glorious Goodwood could be the key piece of form here, with the very progressive SWEET WILLIAM taken to confirm his superiority over Adjuvant despite 4lb worse terms. Jackfinbar, the better drawn of the Willie Mullins pair, and the very consistent HMS President complete the shortlist.

Race Summary

LUCKY FIFTEEN has already been a terrific servant for connections this season and, despite a further 7lb rise, the four-timer looks very much on the cards on the back of another comfortable success at Ffos Las last month. A winner over C&D on his penultimate outing, the son of Lope De Vega is preferred to narrow Hamilton second Mr Professor and Graignes, who is out again quickly after scoring at Sandown on Sunday

Race Summary

This could go the way of recent distance runner-up FAUSTUS. He gets to compete off the same mark and, given Connor Planas knocks 3lb off the five-year-old's back, he is fancied to make a return to winning ways. Glamorous Breeze is not without a chance following a decent third at Ascot last month, while Lord Riddiford, a four-time C&D winner, and Angle Land are others to consider

PRINCE ALEX:Following its run on 21/7/2023 it was reported that the horse was unsuited by the going.

Race Summary

There wasn't much to separate Ravens Ark (second) and Vaynor (third) over C&D in June and both are likely to be thereabouts again. However, NATHANAEL GREENE has been running consistently well all season without getting his head in front and looks to have been found an ideal opportunity by William Haggas. He went off 11/4 when fourth behind subsequent Ascot Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami over C&D in May, and that form reads well in the context of this handicap.
