    Quality racing

    The most valuable three days of racing at Goodwood outside of the flagship Qatar Goodwood Festival. 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 ever-popular amateur jockey's handicap add intrigue to a fabulous weekend.

    I came here three years ago but once you’re bitten, you have to come back. It is always atmospheric here, it doesn’t matter what the weather conditions are, it is always a memorable day. Everything about Goodwood is done for love, it’s been crafted lovingly over centuries.
