Across the last six months and 19 fixtures, the Sussex racecourse has showcased world-class racing and welcomed enthusiastic crowds, including at the headline Qatar Goodwood Festival presented by Visit Qatar.
The final fixture saw Oisin Murphy win Leading Jockey, while Ralph Beckett took the title of Leading Trainer after a successful season at Goodwood Racecourse. The contest for Leading Jockey came down to the penultimate race of the day with Rossa Ryan, Kieran Shoemark and Oisin Murphy all competing for the title.
After being crowned Leading Jockey, Oisin Murphy, said: “It’s great to see such a large crowd at Goodwood Racecourse, with almost 3,000 young people here. Goodwood really does a marvellous job, the ground here is in beautiful condition and it’s great to see people out supporting racing.”
The racecourse’s headline event, Qatar Goodwood Festival presented by Visit Qatar (29 July - 2 August), once again proved itself as one of the highlights of the flat racing season with a 10 percent increase in attendance. A record number of international broadcasters also covered the racing event, while there was an historic result in the Visit Qatar Sussex Stakes with 150-1 winner Qirat.
Goodwood Racecourse Director, James Crespi, said: “We’ve enjoyed a wonderful season here at Goodwood Racecourse. Our flagship event, the Qatar Goodwood Festival presented by Visit Qatar, was a particular highlight with world-class racing, increased attendance, and extensive media and broadcast coverage. We were delighted to welcome Visit Qatar as the new headline partner of the event.
