Badge Allocation
Every Owner or Partnership is entitled to six Owners’ Badges per runner on the day that their horse is running. In an effort to improve the experience of Owners and Trainers at the world-renowned Qatar Goodwood Festival, entry to the Parade Ring, Pre Parade Ring and Winners enclosure this year will only be permitted with a Parade Ring pass. This will ensure that the Parade Ring, Pre Parade Ring and Winners enclosure remains a comfortable and safe environment.
The Owners of each horse running will be entitled to a minimum of six passes, Trainers will be entitled to two passes each and Jockeys one pass each. Additional passes will be available on a race by race basis providing the Parade Ring Safety limit has not been reached. These passes will be race-specific, although there will be day and week passes available where appropriate for those with multiple runners.
Where to collect your Badges?
The passes will be available at the Owners and Trainers entrance on arrival and we would ask that you please collect your passes on arrival.
The PASS System will be in operation at the Owners & Trainers desk also located at the West Entrance.
