The Sussex countryside provides a stunning backdrop for the racing, with the racecourse situated at the top of the Downs. Established in 1802, ‘Glorious Goodwood’, now known as the Qatar Goodwood Festival, sits alongside Royal Ascot as one of the main events in the British flat racing calendar.
Three of the 36 group one races of the British flat-racing season take place around the iconic course, with the Sussex Stakes, the Goodwood Cup and the Nassau Stakes all providing thousands of visiting fans with high-quality racing to enjoy.
The Festival kicks off with a world class day of racing on Tuesday, 1st August, with the Goodwood Cup showcasing some of the best stayers in the world. Then, on Wednesday, the £1 million Qatar Sussex Stakes takes centre stage.
