Over five thrilling days, the Qatar-sponsored meeting showcases top-class racing with three key feature races: the Sussex Stakes, Goodwood Cup, and Nassau Stakes. The £1 million Sussex Stakes is the festival’s marquee event, featuring a classic generational showdown between three-year-olds and experienced older horses over a mile. Legendary past winners include the unbeaten Frankel, two-time champion Kingman, and the formidable Baaeed. Last year’s winner, Notable Speech, may return to defend their crown against rising star Field Of Gold.
Kicking off day one is the £500,000 Goodwood Cup, a grueling two-mile contest for the elite stayers. The prestigious £600,000 Nassau Stakes tests the best fillies and mares over a mile and a quarter. Sprint enthusiasts will keep an eye on the King George Stakes, while the Coral Stewards Cup, the major handicap held on Saturday, remains one of the year’s most hotly contested and heavily bet races.
