Ladies’ Day, the most stylish day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival, is the place where the worlds of fashion and horseracing become one. Our ladies' amateur jockey race, the Magnolia Cup, will get the day off to an impressive start, which in previous years has supported charities dedicated to helping women and children.

Why Ladies' Day?
Racing on day three commences with the Magnolia Cup presented by Markel, an all-female charity race.
The highlight of the racing under rules is the £600,000 Group 1 Qatar Nassau Stakes, for the world’s best fillies and mares. This race was inaugurated in 1840, and we look forward to seeing another great name added to its illustrious roll of honour, following Lady Bowthorpe's 2021 emotional win in the race for trainer William Jarvis and Emma Banks, multi award-winning music agent.
The Magnolia Cup
Twelve fearless women, 40mph racehorses and the world's most beautiful racecourse - there can be only one winner. Reflect on the successes of previous years, including 2019 winner Khadijah Mellah, who created history by becoming the first Muslim rider to race and ride in an amateur horse race and keep up to date with announcements for 2022. There is nothing quite like the Magnolia Cup.

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.
