Thrilling Racing
Steeped in racing heritage, Qatar Goodwood Festival always attracts the very best equine athletes from the UK and around the world.
The finest stayers in the land provide a fitting curtain raiser in Group 1 Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup, for any racing purist Tuesday is an unmissable day. Spearheading day two are the milers who grace the hallowed Goodwood turf in the £1 million Qatar Sussex Stakes, before the fillies strut their stuff on Ladies Day with the Qatar Nassau Stakes providing the feature spectacle. As if that isn't enough, day five sees the fastest racehorses in the world contest the King George Qatar Stakes before arguably one of the most competitive handicaps in British flat racing comes under starters' orders in the form of the Coral Stewards' Cup on Saturday.
A wealth of raceday entertainment
Located at the heart of the Gordon Enclosure, featuring live music and Instagram worthy moments for that all-important reunion with family and friends, The Earl’s Lawn provides the perfect pièce de resistance.
Sip champagne in Veuve's Clicquot Champagne & Seafood Bar in the premier Richmond Enclosure and get close to the victorious champions.
The Lennox Enclosure is the perfect place to kick back and relax with family or grab a beer with friends in the Sussex Beer Garden.

The beauty of Goodwood, the fantastic hospitality of the sponsors, and the Duke of Richmond, alongside so many friends, enjoying the thrill of phenomenal racing was simply out of this world!
Goodwood is a unique track but one I love the challenge of riding. It’s such a beautiful racecourse and it’s a meeting I always look forward to
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.
There are some amazing racecourses around the world, but without fail you feel like you’re in one of the most special.
July 2021 is going to live long in my memory when my dream of a first Group 1 victory became reality as Lady Bowthorpe in the Qatar Nassau Stakes at Goodwood. The beauty of Goodwood, the fantastic hospitality of the sponsors, and the Duke of Richmond, alongside so many friends, enjoying the moment and the thrill of the phenomenal racing was simply out of this world!
It has been fantastic… this is another great Goodwood event, with a great atmosphere.
The Qatar Goodwood Festival is a beautiful week and Goodwood is the most picturesque racecourse in the country.
