About Goodwood
The Glorious Goodwood Festival is one of the most important meetings of the flat horseracing season and it takes place in the last week of July. The drama is played out over five days on the rolling hills of the Sussex Downs, where the vistas of emerald green to the far-off Isle of Wight often compete with the sheer strength and beauty of some of the best thoroughbreds in the United Kingdom.
The meeting’s two standout races races are the Nassau Stakes (for fillies) and the day two feature race, the Sussex Stakes. Four other feature races are run at the meeting, including the Goodwood Cup for stayers, the totesport Mile handicap and the opening feature race, the Gordon Stakes.
