2018 MEDIA GUIDE

QATAR GOODWOOD FESTIVAL 2018

3

Still known affectionately as ‘Glorious Goodwood,’ our five-day meeting is shaping up to be another wonderful event, featuring

some of the highest quality racing and an atmosphere to savour.

At the time of writing, we have received some excellent entries for our Group 1, Group 2 and Heritage Handicap races. The £1-million Group 1 Qatar Sussex Stakes could feature the hugely talented Without Parole, who was impressive when maintaining his unbeaten record at Royal Ascot in June. His trainer, John Gosden, won the Sussex Stakes in 2014 with Kingman, while his jockey at Ascot, Frankie Dettori, will be hoping for his fourth win in our most valuable race.

The Group 1 Qatar Nassau Stakes entries include the winners of two British Classic races, with 1,000 Guineas winner Billesdon Brook and Oaks winner Forever Together in the initial line-up. British and Irish Champion trainer Aidan O’Brien will be looking to continue his superb record in the race, having won the Nassau three times since 2007. As well as Forever Together, he has made seven entries, including Magic Wand, Rhododendron and Hydrangea.

The Group 1 Qatar Goodwood Cup has the potential to be the highlight of the week, as three of the first four home in the Ascot Gold Cup may all meet again on the Sussex Downs. Last year’s winner Stradivarius was victorious at the Royal meeting, with Torcedor and Order Of St George close behind in third and fourth. His connections have said they are targeting Goodwood and, if he arrives in peak form, we should be in for another fascinating battle between the stayers.

The staying division has recently been given some much-needed impetus from both the BHA and European Pattern Committee, and Goodwood Racecourse has been extremely supportive of this change. In 2017, we were delighted to be able to upgrade the Qatar Goodwood Cup to Group 1 status and this year we learned that the Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes, run over 1m 6f, was to be promoted

from Group 3 to Group 2 status. In addition to this, the March Stakes, run over the same distance at our popular August Bank Holiday fixture, has been upgraded from a Listed to a Group 3 race. Entries for our fourth Group 1 race, the £400,000 Group 1PA Qatar International Stakes for Purebred Arabians, are also looking extremely exciting. Over half of the entries could head to Goodwood from overseas, with potential runners from Qatar, France and Holland. The first leg of the £1-million Doha Triple Crown, this race has helped to raise the profile of Purebred Arabian racing and is an integral part of the Festival, held on Wednesday, August 1.

At a time when equality is still being fought for by women, we are extremely proud to once again host the Magnolia Cup, presented by Swarovski. Now in its eighth year, this race will be contested by 12 inspiring women from outside of the sport. Doctors, media professionals, business women, models and designers have been training rigorously to race over five and a half furlongs down Goodwood’s straight on Thursday, August 2, Ladies’ Day, to raise money for Cancer Research UK to fight female cancers. They will all wear silks created by Morvarid Sahafi of Morv London, whose designs have been inspired by the Suffragette movement.

Across the Racecourse, we have invested in improving facilities for our guests, as well as ensuring everyone can enjoy their time at the Qatar Goodwood Festival in the relaxed and peaceful manner the week is known for. I greatly look forward to welcoming you to Goodwood and hope that the Racecourse continues to exceed your expectations.

The Goodwood Handicap Course of two miles and five furlongs starts from

below the winning post and, running the reverse way up the course, turns left after about half a mile and returns to the straight via the top bend.

The Goodwood Cup Course is the last two miles, the Bentinck Course the last one mile and six furlongs and the Gratwicke Course the last mile of the Goodwood Handicap Course.

The one mile and three furlongs distance was introduced in 2001. It starts at the same point as the mile and a half course but enters the straight via the lower bend.

The Craven Course is one mile, one furlong and 197 yards long (described as a mile and a quarter) starting in almost the same spot as the Gratwicke Course but running in the reverse direction and returning to the straight by the top bend. The one mile and one furlong course, though starting at

COURSE CHARACTERISTICS

TVTerrestrial television coverage of British horseracing moved to ITV at the start of 2017. The broadcaster covered the Qatar Goodwood Festival for the first time that year with Ed Chamberlin and Francesca Cumani hosting.

The Goodwood broadcast, which was on the main channel for all five days of the meeting and will be again in 2018, included lots of special features along with live coverage, in-depth interviews and analysis.

ITV Racing won a BAFTA in May for its broadcast of Aintree’s 2017 Randox Health Grand National Festival, which took place just four months into its schedule. ITV took over from Channel 4, which broadcast successfully from Goodwood between 2007 and 2016.

Racing at Goodwood was first covered by BBC TV on July, 31 1956, when the corporation showed three races – the Craven Stakes, the Stewards’ Cup and the Bentinck Stakes.

Race commentary came from Peter O’Sullevan, knighted in 1997, and paddock commentary from Clive Graham. BBC TV ceased covering Goodwood after the 2006 season.

Racing UK was launched as a subscription channel on May 29, 2004 and now broadcasts from 37 racecourses in the UK and returns its profits to them, the shareholders.

Goodwood Racecourse was integral to the formation of Racing UK and has been a driving force behind the success of the channel, which now has around 50,000 residential subscribers and 6,500 pubs and clubs subscribers.

Racing UK will show all races from the 2018 Qatar Goodwood Festival. Coverage begins in the morning and the presentation team will be led by Nick Luck, Lydia Hislop, Tom Stanley, Rishi Persad and Dave Nevison. The channel is available on Sky 432, Virgin Media 536 & 411, Freeview / YouView 231, as well as online and on mobile.

RADIOBBC Radio first negotiated with Goodwood as early as 1937 about the possibility of transmitting race commentaries, but the scheme was abandoned because of technical difficulties.

Talks reopened in 1947 and in June of that year Mr Rathbone of the Goodwood Executive wrote to the BBC confirming that the public corporation had been granted full facilities at a cost of 15 guineas a day.

The first race transmitted was the Goodwood Handicap on July 30, 1947 on the Light Programme. The commentator was Frank More O’Ferrall.

The 2018 Qatar Goodwood Festival will be covered by a number of regional and national BBC and commercial radio stations.

almost the same point, follows the lower bend till joining the straight.

The Old Mile and seven-furlong courses start on the Goodwood Handicap Course and join the straight on the lower bend.

The five-furlong and six-furlong (Stewards’ Cup) courses are straight, the first furlong of the latter being uphill and then slightly undulating downwards to the finish.

The sharp bends and downhill gradients of Goodwood usually suit the handy, well balanced, neat actioned sort and are potentially against the big long-striding horse.

The course benefits from an artificial watering system.

Ed Arkell took over from Seamus Buckley as Goodwood’s Clerk of the Course at the end of last season.

Following 51 years in racing – he started out as a jockey, but injury curtailed that career – and 23 at Goodwood Racecourse, Buckley retired at the conclusion of Goodwood’s 2017 Flat season on October 15 amid much acclaim.

Racing was introduced to Goodwood by the third Duke of Richmond out of a sense of obligation to the officers of the Sussex militia, of which he was colonel.

For many years, the officers had held their annual races in nearby Petworth

Park, courtesy of the Earl of Egremont, but when that capricious nobleman did not renew the invitation in 1801, the Duke of Richmond came to the rescue by laying out a course on that part of the Goodwood Estate known as the Harroway.

So pleased was the Duke with the popularity of that first two-day meeting that he organised a three-day one under Jockey Club rules the following year. On the first day, he won with a horse called Cedar, but on the third day Cedar was beaten by Trumpator, owned by the Prince of Wales, later King George IV. To accommodate his more distinguished guests, the Duke had a small wooden stand erected.

The first Duke of Richmond, who purchased the Goodwood Estate in 1697, was an illegitimate son of Charles II and Louise de Keroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth.

His grandson, the founder of the Goodwood meeting, was a man of taste

and considerable talent. He was one of the earliest patrons of the equine artist George Stubbs, who stayed at Goodwood for nine months in 1759, and, as Master-General of the Ordnance, he commissioned the first ordnance survey maps, still in use today.

Following the death of the third Duke in 1806, the title and estate were inherited by his nephew, an eminent soldier. A civilian by the time of Waterloo, he would have missed the battle had he obeyed the instructions of his friend the Duke of Wellington, who told him to go back to Brussels, but the fourth Duke hid in a bush and cheered the troops on!

Lack of funds (due to the third Duke’s prolific spending) prevented the fourth Duke from being at home for long periods. It was, however, during his time that the Goodwood Cup was first run in 1812 over a three-mile course. Two years later, at the suggestion of his son, the Earl of March, the date of the meeting was changed from May to its now long traditional slot in late July or early August.

The move to July proved an immediate success and greatly enhanced the social status of the meeting. This was because it coincided neatly with the end of the London season and retained a relatively informal atmosphere, much appreciated by the aristocracy before they retired to their country estates for the remainder of the summer.

While the importance of the meeting increased, the Goodwood Cup did not immediately carry the prestige that it would in the middle of the century and was only staged spasmodically. It was not run in 1815 or between 1817 and 1824, while there was a walkover in 1826. No horse of any consequence won it until Priam, successful in the Derby of the previous year, in 1831, six years after the distance raced over was reduced to two miles and five furlongs.

The fourth Duke died in 1819 and was succeeded by his son, another notable soldier. Having been severely wounded by a musket ball at Orthez in the Peninsular War in 1814, the fifth Duke returned to

HISTORYOF GOODWOOD

RACECOURSE

Goodwood to devote himself to hunting. When a heavy fall aggravated his old injuries so badly that he was obliged to give up following hounds, the Duke, who served a term as President of the MCC, devoted much of his time to racing. He did a great deal to improve the racecourse, including the building of a new grandstand for 3,000 people in 1830.

Also in that year, the Stables, completed to the designs of Sir William Chambers for the third Duke of Richmond in 1761, were filled with horses belonging to the fifth Duke of Richmond and Lord George Bentinck. A heavy gambler, who never felt himself constrained by the strict code of honour he sought to impose upon others, Lord George was overbearing far beyond the point of arrogance and a born organiser. The outstanding member of the Jockey Club of that era, he was enabled, by his friendship with the Duke of Richmond, to implement many reforms at Goodwood that would later become common practice on other courses.

As well as railing off a number of enclosures, including one for cigar smokers, he reformed the method of starting by equipping the starter with a flag instead of simply having the official shout ‘go’. He also fined the Clerk of the Course if races started late and insisted that every horse had a number on the racecard corresponding to that displayed on the board indicating the runners.

Furthermore, he gave orders that the runners should parade in front of the stands. Bentinck also set aside an area in which they were to be saddled and another in which they were to be unsaddled. In consequence, the Goodwood meeting was conducted far more efficiently than had ever been the case on any other course.

At the time when Lord George was bringing in these improvements, many of the most popular races of the Qatar Goodwood Festival were becoming entrenched in the programme. The Molecomb Stakes was founded in 1833, while the six-furlong Stewards’ Cup was first run in 1840 when Epirus, trained by John Scott at Malton in Yorkshire, beat 21 rivals. The latter race is now the handicap highlight on the final day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival.

The Nassau Stakes also came into existence in 1840 and the Sussex Stakes

was introduced in 1841 to coincide with the construction of a weighing room at the racecourse. The Sussex Stakes started out as a race for two-year-olds but in 1878 the conditions changed it into a contest for three-year-olds over a mile and from that point never looked back.

Goodwood is more than just a racecourse. It is a country estate, covering 11,500 acres, quite different from any other. Its unique ambience and air of understated glamour have drawn people to it throughout three centuries of ownership by the Dukes of Richmond. It is made up of many varied aspects.

These include Goodwood House, which was refurbished between 1966 and 1971 and again between 1994 and 1998 and is now restored to its former Regency glory; a motor circuit which has again resounded to the roar of historic racing cars since 1998; a hotel and country club, aerodrome, golf club, organic farm and more.

Goodwood House hosts parties, both private and corporate, as well as weddings for couples who want to celebrate their marriage in wonderful surroundings. Set in immaculate parkland, the meticulously restored State Apartments, which house a magnificent art collection, are open to visitors from March to October. The ninth Duke of Richmond did not share his forbears’ great passion for the turf, but loved racing - in the form of motor cars.

Adjacent to the Estate was the RAF Airfield at Tangmere and it eventually dawned on him that its annexe, Westhampnett Airfield, part of the Goodwood Estate, would make a suitable motor circuit.

The first meeting took place in September, 1948 and, until its closure in 1966, the Goodwood Motor Circuit was Britain’s leading racing venue. Reopened in 1998, the circuit stages an historic race meeting, the Goodwood Revival, each September, which lovingly recreates the glamour and romance of motor racing in the 1950s and 1960s.

The 2018 Goodwood Revival takes place on September 7, 8 & 9. The Festival of Speed, which was staged over four days between July 12 and July 15 in 2018, is the other major motor sport event at Goodwood. It is the world’s biggest and most diverse celebration of the history of motor sport and car culture. It is the only occasion to

see the greatest competition cars and star drivers from all eras in action: everything from 19th century steam carriages to current Formula One; fabulous racing motorcycles; classic rally cars to 3,000bhp dragsters; plus motor sport legends like Moss, Surtees, Fittipaldi and Andretti rubbing shoulders with today’s hottest properties such as Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Petter Solberg.

The annual Festival of Speed has established itself as the most exclusive garden party fixture of the season where motor racing fans mingle with spectacular cars and their drivers in the parkland surrounding Goodwood House.

The Flying School continues to attract people from all walks of life keen to gain the freedom of their private pilot’s licence or simply to soar above the stunning Sussex countryside. Just across the park from Goodwood House, the Goodwood Hotel, with 91 bedrooms and suites, offers everything you might expect from a world-renowned hotel, including extensive leisure facilities and relaxing treatments. The two award winning restaurants serve organic Estate reared and local produce.

The old Goodwood Golf Course, stretching up the Downs to the Racecourse, was superbly renovated in 2004 and is one of the two 18-hole courses on the Estate. The first round of golf played at Goodwood was in 1901. Golf At Goodwood, a new vision for the sport, was launched in 2006 and is about paying for the golf that people want to play, when they want to play it. Members have access to the Downs Course, already rated in Golf World’s Top 100 courses in Great Britain and Ireland, and the Park Course.

Instead of paying a high joining fee and annual subscription, new members pay a joining fee (first year only), annual subscription and the cost of Goodwood Golf Credits. The more golf played, the less the rounds cost. All of the Estate’s activities can be viewed at www.goodwood.co.uk The Kennels is the modern central clubhouse for all of the Estate’s sporting and social memberships, while the Hound Lodge offers high-level accommodation. The racecourse boasts private boxes, restaurants and bars to suit all tastes.

of racecourses set high on the Sussex Downs. Goodwood’s popularity as a venue for horseracing began to grow rapidly, particularly after the Second World War during which there had been no racing on the course. In 1953, 55,000 spectators gathered for the Tuesday of Glorious Goodwood (still at that time the only racing staged at Goodwood - an August meeting had been held from 1946 to 1948, but was then dropped from the programme), with no less than 21,000 on the slopes of Trundle Hill. That figure has not been surpassed since, but the demand for racing at this most scenic of courses led to the introduction of three additional fixtures in 1965, two in August and one in September.

The May meeting was started in 1968, while in 1970 Glorious Goodwood was extended to five days with the addition of the Saturday. The racecourse has undergone some important changes. Until 1967, horses pulled up running up Trundle Hill, during which time the parade ring was positioned behind what is now the Charlton Stand.

In 1976, however, the parade ring was moved to the south side of the racecourse behind the March Stand. At the same time, the weighing room, which had previously been in the old Charlton building, was relocated to the north side of the parade ring. This involved moving the old road south of the racecourse. The old Stand was demolished after the Festival meeting of

1979 and replaced by the present March Stand, designed by the architect Sir Philip Dowson, which won the annual Concrete Society Award. It was opened on July 29, 1980, by Her Majesty The Queen who unveiled a bronze horse created by the famous sculptress, Dame Elizabeth Frink. In June, 1985, an evening fixture was staged for the first time.

The next phase of redevelopment occurred in 1989 with the new Charlton Stand, followed in 1990 by the opening of the Sussex Stand at the Festival meeting by Peter (subsequently Sir Peter) O’Sullevan. The Sussex Stand won a commendation from the Royal Fine Arts Commission.

To coincide with this development and, with effect from the start of the 1990 season, the winning post was moved approximately 31 yards in the direction of the six-furlong start. As a result, starts and race distances had to be modified. Thus the Goodwood Cup, traditionally run over two miles and five furlongs, was reduced to two and a half miles.

Following the Jockey Club’s review of staying races, the distance of the Goodwood Cup was further reduced to two miles in 1991. In 1989, a new race distance of one mile and one furlong was successfully introduced, starting at the same point as the one mile and two-furlong start. Prize money was steadily increased

and more racing introduced, including additional evening meetings. Goodwood’s evening fixtures, now on Fridays, remain enormously popular.

The staging of Goodwood’s first Sunday fixture, following the legalisation of Sunday betting, happened on August 27, 1995 – the Sunday of the August Bank Holiday – while Goodwood held the inaugural running of the Shergar Cup, now run at Ascot, in May, 1999. Goodwood currently has three Sunday fixtures.

The exciting paddock development, innovatively designed by Sir Michael Hopkins, opened in 2001. It comprised a new Members’ entrance, Double Trigger Restaurant, three elliptical pavilions housing bars and restaurants and a 5,000 viewing capacity amphitheatre style parade ring.

The racecourse celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2002 and the occasion was marked by the publication of the Glorious Goodwood book and video.

At the end of 2014, Goodwood Racecourse announced the biggest sponsorship deal ever in British racing involving a 10-year deal with Qatar.

The partnership, which commenced in 2015, resulted in over £2 million extra being invested into prize money for eight key

races during the Qatar Goodwood Festival as well as a commitment to increase this year-on-year.

Total prize money on offer for the week in 2018 comes over £5.5 million, with Qatar again demonstrating passion and support for British racing.

A modern-day record of 103,457 racegoers attended the five-day Qatar Goodwood Festival in 2015, while last year’s meeting, hit by heavy rain on the second day in particular, attracted a total crowd of 101,133.

The Group One Qatar Sussex Stakes, scheduled for Wednesday, August 1, 2018, has a prize fund of £1 million, cementing its position as one of the most valuable mile races in the world.

The Group One Qatar Nassau Stakes, moved from the Saturday to the Thursday in 2017, is worth £600,000, making it the most significant mid-summer race for fillies and mares, as well as the richest European race of its kind.

The Goodwood Cup, promoted to Group One status for the first time in 2017, is the highlight on the opening day, Tuesday, of the Qatar Goodwood Festival and carries a prize fund of £500,000.

Each Group Two feature race, the Qatar Lennox Stakes (Tuesday), the newly-promoted Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes (Thursday) and the King George Qatar

Stakes (Friday), is worth £300,000, attracting some of the best horses at their respective distances, seven furlongs, 14 furlongs and five furlongs.

Other races that benefitted from increased prize money are the two Group Two races for two-year-olds, the Qatar Vintage Stakes and the Qatar Richmond Stakes, each with £200,000 in prize money, supporting their status as the proving grounds for future champions.

The Unibet Stewards’ Cup, on the fifth and final day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival, is the headline handicap of the week with prize money totalling £250,000 and, as part of this uplift, the consolation race rose to £75,000.

A key race for Arabian horses is staged at the Qatar Goodwood Festival, with the mile Qatar International Stakes worth £400,000. It is the first leg of the Doha Triple Crown, while the second leg will take place on Arc day in France and the final one at Doha, Qatar, in February.

Last year sadly saw the death of the 10th Duke of Richmond, who passed away on September 1 at the age of 87. The 10th Duke of Richmond, Lennox, Gordon and Aubigny developed and strengthened the Estate, with particular focus on the racecourse.

The high quality of racing enjoyed at Goodwood Racecourse is largely thanks to his efforts; when he first took charge,

Goodwood only staged four days of racing each year, at its Festival meeting at the end of July, while Saturday racing did not exist.

During the 1970s and 1980s, the 10th Duke increased the number of racedays, built the Charlton and March grandstands, created the new paddock and, ultimately, took the quality of the horseracing at Goodwood to new heights.

He was succeeded by his son (previously Lord March, born 1955), who is the 11th Duke Of Richmond. The current Duke took over the chairmanship of the Goodwood Group of Companies in 1994. He founded both the Festival of Speed (1993) and the Goodwood Revival Meeting (1998).

Before assuming the management of the Estate, he was a successful advertising photographer in London and continues his photography career as Charles March.

He married the Hon. Janet Astor, daughter of the third Viscount Astor, in 1991 and they live in Goodwood House with their children.

King Charles II established the headquarters of English racing upon Newmarket Heath. By way of complete contrast, his descendants, the Dukes of Richmond, created the most beautiful racecourse in Britain amidst the tranquillity of the vividly undulating Sussex countryside and overlooking the sparkling waters of Chichester Harbour and the sea.

1697The first Duke of Richmond purchased a hunting lodge in Sussex at Goodwood so as to hunt with the nearby Charlton Hunt, the first pack of foxhounds formed in England.

1757The second Duke commissioned the stables, in which the runners are still accommodated today, for his hunters. The stables, to be seen on the south side of Goodwood House, were designed by Sir William Chambers, the greatest architect of the time.

1801Goodwood first staged racing with a two-day race meeting organised by the third Duke of Richmond.

1802A three-day race meeting was held under Jockey Club rules in April, incorporating two City of Chichester Plates, the first over two miles and the second over three miles. Most events were still run in heats in 1802. The first horse to win two heats was the outright winner,

while those beaten could be withdrawn at any stage. The opening race on the first day of the inaugural meeting, Wednesday, April 28, 1802, was the Hunting Club Subscription which cost 20 guineas to enter and was run in two-mile heats. There were four runners. Pantagruel, carrying 11st 13lb, beat Cornwallis (12st 7lb) in the first heat, finished third to Cornwallis in the second, and then beat Cornwallis again in the third heat, to win the stakes. Thus Pantagruel and Cornwallis both covered six miles, under jumping weights, before the issue was resolved. On the third and final day of the meeting, the City of Chichester Stakes, of £50 each, was run in three-mile heats. Fortunately for the five-year-old Mystery, owned by Mr Ladbroke the banker, he won in straight heats, so he too had to cover only six miles, whereas it could have been nine miles or even further. Running in heats was an arduous task by today’s standards, notwithstanding the fact that racing started in the morning, so that horses were afforded more respite than would have been the case

if everything had had to be decided during the afternoon.

1812 The first running of the Goodwood Cup took place in May.

1814Goodwood’s only race meeting was moved to July and the Festival, now known as the Qatar Goodwood Festival, has remained there ever since. It normally starts in July but often lasts into August. Unusually, the five-day meeting started and ended in August in 2017.

1824Horses taking part in the Cocked Hat Stakes had to be ridden by gentlemen wearing cocked hats! The race was won by a chestnut mare called Olive, ridden by the redoubtable Lord George Bentinck, who was to become known as the “Dictator of the Turf”.

1830A new grandstand was built by the fifth Duke of Richmond. William IV, often referred to as “the Sailor King”, won the

Goodwood Cup with Fleur De Lis. The horse had captured the 1829 renewal for his late brother King George VI.

1831Priam, owned by the Earl of Chesterfield, became the first Derby winner to seal victory in the Goodwood Cup, denying Fleur De Lis a hat-trick. The race was worth £300, of which £100 was given by the City of Chichester. Priam was a horse of exquisite quality. When in extreme old age, and long retired, trainer John Kent wrote: “In my opinion, and I am never tired of repeating it, Priam was the best and most perfectly-shaped racehorse I ever saw.” Priam gained a second Goodwood Cup success in 1832.

1833The Molecomb Stakes was run for the first time.

1840 A field of 22 went to post for the first running of the Stewards’ Cup. The winner was the John Bowes-owned six-year-old Epirus, trained by John Scott

KEY DATES In Goodwood’s History

at Malton in North Yorkshire. The Dukes of Richmond are also Dukes of Aubigny in France so it was fitting that the Goodwood Cup of 1840 went to the French-trained Beggarman, owned by the heir to the French throne, the Duc d’Orleans.

1841The Sussex Stakes was first run as a race for two-year-olds. It remained in that guise for 37 years, during which time it was uncontested on 25 occasions, with 14 walkovers.

1854Virago won the Goodwood Cup by 15 lengths and, two days later, the three-year-old filly completed a rare double when landing the Nassau Stakes. She had already won the 1000 Guineas, after taking the City & Suburban and Great Metropolitan handicaps on the same day at Epsom’s Spring Meeting and two valuable races on consecutive days at York. Virago was trained by John Barham Day in the Michel Grove stable at Findon, a few miles across the Sussex Downs from Goodwood, and ran in the colours of ‘Mr Howard’, the nom de course of the moneylender Henry Padwick.

1861Forty five horses had been due to face the starter in the Stewards’ Cup of 1861, but many of them were unable to line up due to a severe lack of jockeys. Plenty of those that came under orders were partnered by incompetent pilots, but out of the chaos emerged the winner, Croagh Patrick, who was the subject of a huge gamble.

1865Gladiateur, the first French-bred horse to win the Derby, was also seen to advantage at Goodwood on his next start, winning the Drawing Room Stakes by 40 lengths.

1866Harry Custance, a leading jockey, had an unpleasant experience before the running of the Chesterfield Cup. Fearing that he would have trouble with the foul-tempered Broomielaw, he obtained permission for the colt to be led, rather than cantered, to the post, while he followed on foot. When Custance removed his coat, Broomielaw came for him open-mouthed, roaring like a bull. While the lad used the coat as a blindfold, Custance jumped in the saddle, from which the horse tried to dislodge him by bucking, kicking and rearing, eventually going down on his knees to tear the turf with his teeth. Having delayed the start for half an hour, Broomielaw eventually jumped off, with a long tom cracked beneath his hocks, and won by three parts of a length from Ostreger. He never ran again.

1873Two of the three runners in the Goodwood Cup of 1873 were the Derby winners Favonius and Cremorne. Both were beaten by outsider Flageolet, a three-year- old who stormed home 30 lengths clear of Favonius.

1874Goodwood has always been a happy hunting ground for the top jockeys, but 17-yearold Fred Archer found himself in trouble in 1874, when he rode Modena at 7st 1lb in the Stewards’ Cup. In his eagerness to reach the start early and secure the best position, with there being no draw for races in those days, he took the mare through the crowd. After Modena had won, Archer was reprimanded by the stewards for going down before the order to clear the course had been given. He won the race again on Trappist the following year, and might have won for a third time on Hackthorpe in 1880, instead of being beaten a head, had he not put up a pound overweight at 8st 8lb.

1877The first staging of the Richmond Stakes proved an instant success as a Classic trial with the winner Janette going on to win the Oaks and St Leger the following year. Matthew Dawson trained Janette and also the 1878 winner Wheel of Fortune. During the first decade of the Richmond Stakes, the contest was dominated by Fred Archer. Having won the inaugural race on Jannette, the jockey was successful again in each of the next four seasons and for a sixth time on Rosy Morn in 1884. The other two Goodwood races in which he had outstanding records were the Molecomb Stakes, with six winners between 1877 and 1886, and the Nassau Stakes, which he won five times between 1875 and 1885.

1878The Sussex Stakes became a mile race for three-year-olds. The great Hungarian filly Kincsem, born in 1874, made her only appearance in England a memorable one with victory in the Goodwood Cup. Kincsem retired unbeaten after 54 races spanning five countries. She was very attached to her favourite cat, so much so that she would not move or travel without the animal.

1880Bend Or was the first of five Derby winners to have won the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood the year before. The others were the Prince Of Wales’s Persimmon (1896), Pommern (1915), Manna (1925) and Mahmoud (1936).

1881Among the many Derby winners previously successful at Goodwood as two-year-olds was Iroquois, who became the first American-bred horse to triumph in the premier Classic. He started 4/6 favourite for the Lavant Stakes the year before at Goodwood and gave Isola Madre 8lb and a half-length beating.

1884The Duke of Portland’s St Simon, arguably the greatest racehorse of the 19th century, won the Goodwood Cup of 1884 as a three-year-old, beating the 1883 St Leger winner Ossian by 20 lengths.This brilliant colt was also twice successful at Goodwood as a two-year-old, being ridden by Fred Archer on both occasions. He was trained at Newmarket by Matthew Dawson. An unqualified success as a stallion, St Simon was champion sire nine times.

1886Fred Archer enjoyed at least 99 successes at Goodwood. It is impossible to be precise, as the name of the jockey who walked over on a horse was not recorded until 1880. The first Goodwood winner that he partnered was East Acton in 1873 and the last came on Cavalier in the Charlton Welter Handicap, four months before the famous rider took his own life at the age of 29 in 1886.

1887Morny Cannon, then 14 and weighing in at 6st 3lb, won the Stewards’ Cup aboard Upset. Runner-up was Tib, ridden by his brother Tom Cannon Jnr and trained by his father Tom Cannon Snr. Tib avenged the defeat in 1888. Lester Piggott is Tom Cannon Snr’s great-grandson. Morny and Tom Cannon Jnr were his great uncles, with their sister Margaret being the wife of the great jockey’s grandfather Ernie Piggott.

1888Three fillies have completed the Sussex Stakes/Nassau Stakes double in the same year: Zanzibar in 1888, Waldorf Astor’s celebrated Winkipop in 1910, and 1000 Guineas third Olein in 1939.

1891 Nineteen-year-old Otto Madden was following in something of a family tradition when winning the Stewards’ Cup on Unicorn in 1891. His father had also obtained an important success at the course, having won the Goodwood Cup on Kincsem 13 years earlier.

1892Marvel, trained by Richard Marsh for the eighth Duke of Devonshire, won the Stewards’ Cup in 1890 and 1892. So badly deformed was Marvel as a foal, he was nearly shot.

1895Persimmon, a son of the great St Simon, won the 1895 Richmond Stakes for the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII. Persimmon was one of five winners of the Richmond Stakes to go on and triumph in the Derby.

1900American jockeys dominated the Festival meeting in 1900. Little Johnny Reiff, known as ‘Knickerbocker’ Reiff, rode the winner in eight races. These included the Stewards’ Cup on Royal Flush and the Rous Memorial Stakes on Volodyovski, who was successful in the Derby the following year. In addition, elder brother Lester Reiff won the Sussex Stakes on The Raft and the Richmond Stakes on Handicapper. Lester Reiff finished the season as champion jockey, but was warned off for stopping a horse at Manchester in 1901, when John Reiff discreetly retired to France.

1902The Gordon Stakes was first run. The previously extinct Dukedom of Gordon was revived by Queen Victoria in 1876 in favour of the Richmond family, and the race was named accordingly.

1903The Goodwood Golf Club was inaugurated.

1904A new two-tiered open grandstand replaced the old one.

1908No horse better deserved to win the Stewards’ Cup, but was never rewarded by success than Solly Joel’s Poor Boy, who ran in the race in each of the seven seasons prior to the outbreak of the First World War. Following being beaten a neck when aged three in 1908, he went down by a neck again in 1910 and also finished runner-up for a third and fourth time in 1912 and 1913. Poor Boy was unplaced in 1909, 1911 and 1914.

1910The Felix Leach-trained Magic caused the biggest upset in Goodwood Cup history when defeating the previous year’s St Leger winner Bayardo, who was sent off at 1-20 among the three runners.

1911The five-furlong King George Stakes was first run, in hour of King George V who came to the throne the year before.

1914The previous year’s winner, Lord Annandale, dead-heated for first and thus became the first horse to win the Stewards’ Cup in consecutive years.

1921Tetratema was the first of seven dual winners of the King George Stakes. The others to achieve this feat were Stingo (1930 & 1931), Veuve Clicquot (1936 & 1937), Abernant (1949 & 1950), Right Boy (1958 & 1959), Lochsong (1993 & 1994) and Take Cover (2014 & 2016).

1930Brown Jack, the best-loved horse to race between the

world wars, was ridden by Steve Donoghue to obtain one of the most important successes of his long career in the Goodwood Cup of 1930. In addition, the great stayer won the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Ascot six times, the Ascot Handicap, the Chester Cup, the Ebor Handicap at York and the second running of Cheltenham’s Champion Hurdle. Brown Jack was owned by Sir Harold Wernher, whose grandson Nicky Phillips won the Nassau Stakes with Roussalka in 1975 and 1976.

1939 Trainer Basil Jarvis and jockey Tommy Lowrey brought off a remarkable treble for Lord Glanely, the shipping magnate, in 1939. They won the Halnaker Stakes, the last race on Tuesday, with Ashford Bend, the Sussex Stakes, the first on Wednesday, with Olein, and then the next race on the card, the Lavant Stakes, with British Empire. At that last meeting at Goodwood before the war, they also won the Goodwood Cup with Dubonnet and brought out Olein again to score in the Nassau Stakes.

1939-1945Goodwood was closed for the duration of the Second World War. The army was billeted in the stands and other buildings, being joined just prior to D-Day by the RAF in which the Duke Of Richmond was serving. Goodwood House became a hospital. The course may not have been in use, but the name was not forgotten. The action, with which the final phase of the war in north-west Europe began, was codenamed ‘Operation Goodwood’.

1946Gordon Richards, the famous jockey who was knighted in 1953, made the Sussex Stakes almost his own from 1946 through to 1952, winning the top mile contest five times in

seven runnings. Radiotherapy was his successful Mount in 1946. He captured the race eight times in all. His tally at Glorious Goodwood 1946 was nine. From 1946 to 1948, an August meeting was staged in addition to Glorious Goodwood to make up for no racing having taken place at Goodwood during World War Two.

1947 The first BBC radio broadcast of horseracing happened at Goodwood on July 30 on the Light programme, with commentary by Frank More O’Ferrall. Gordon Richards started a remarkable string of successes in the King George Stakes, winning the sprint every year from 1947 to 1952, as well as on Myrobella in 1933 and Neuvy in 1938. He set a new record during Glorious Goodwood, achieving 10 victories, which still stands today. The peerless rider equalled his own record in 1949.

1948Goodwood’s motor circuit was first used for racing. The former George Todd Apprentice Handicap commemorated the trainer who won many of the most important events at Goodwood while he had the famous Manton stable, including the Stewards’ Cup with Dramatic in 1948, the Sussex Stakes with Roan Rocket in 1964 and the Goodwood Stakes with French Design in both 1952 and 1955. George Todd died in 1974, a few months after his retirement.

1949Gordon Richards rode 10 winners at Glorious Goodwood that year, equalling the record he first set in 1947. His tally at the then four-day meeting was 61 successes between 1946 and 1953. The introduction of the photo-finish camera to British racing in 1947 did not produce the desired infallible verdicts immediately and some of the

most serious of its teething problems centred upon a race at Goodwood. After Lord Astor’s popular old horse High Stakes, ridden by Richards, and the French-trained Hornet III, the mount of Rae Johnstone, had fought out a desperate finish to the Bentinck Stakes, the judge, Malcolm Hancock, was handed a distorted print, in which the head of one horse appeared transposed on to the neck of the other. By way of interpretation of this optical illusion, Hancock gave High Stakes the win by a short-head. Having examined the photograph further, the local stewards were convinced the judge was in error and the Jockey Club stewards reached the same conclusion, but it was too late under the rules then prevailing to alter the result. The Stewards’ Cup was won in 1949 by The Bite, ridden by Bert Packham, by a short-head from Spartan Scarifice, the mount of Michael Beary. The Bite was trained by Jimmy Wood at Downs House Stable, subsequently the quarters of Philip Mitchell, at Epsom. Wood was the son of the Victorian jockey Charlie Wood, who became champion on the death of Fred Archer. Wood senior won the Stewards’ Cup twice, on Peter in 1879 and Hornpipe in 1883.

1950Lester Piggott rode the first of his 197 Goodwood winners aboard Vidi Vici in a handicap on July 25.

1952Goodwood became the first British course to provide racegoers with live commentaries over loudspeakers in 1952. It had long been the ambition of progressive clerk of the course Ralph Hubbard to have the public address system used for that purpose. The first commentary was given by Bob Haynes. The Ralph Hubbard Memorial Nursery, run for a

long time, was a reminder of the man who did so much to raise the standard of racing and improve the facilities for the public at Goodwood. Gordon Richards was the leading jockey at Glorious Goodwood with seven successes. This was the seventh successive year that he topped the jockeys’ table at the meeting.

1953A record crowd of 55,000 watched the first day of the Glorious Goodwood. Manny Mercer ended the four-day meetings as top jockey after amassing six victories, with Gordon Richards on four wins.

1954The Queen owned the winner of the Sussex Stakes, Landau, who was ridden by Willie Snaith following an accident to Gordon Richards which ended the illustrious jockey’s career 18 days earlier. Richards retired from riding after a British record of 4,870 winners and achieved 26 champion jockey titles.

1956The first televised coverage by the BBC occurred on July 31, with three races shown live. Race commentary came from Peter O’Sullevan, with observations from the paddock by Clive Graham.

1957Lester Piggott’s big-race record at Goodwood was, like almost everywhere else, second to none. After his first major win at Goodwood on Abelia in the 1957 Molecomb Stakes, Piggott dominated the Festival meeting. He won the Gordon Stakes four times, the Goodwood Cup and Nassau Stakes five times each, the Sussex and Richmond Stakes six times each, the Molecomb Stakes eight times and the King George Stakes on no less than nine occasions. He rode his first Goodwood winner on July 25, 1950, on the

handicapper Vidi Vici and in 1974 he partnered nine winners at the Festival Meeting. In total, he enjoyed 197 winners at Goodwood. The leading rider at Glorious Goodwood 1957 was Scobie Breasley with eight successes.

1958Largely through his achievements at Goodwood, Predominate became the most popular horse of his day. A lean, lanky chestnut gelding owned by Jim Joel, nephew of Solly Joel, Predominate gained three successive wins in the Goodwood Handicap starting in 1958. As a nine-year-old in 1961, he became the oldest horse to win the Goodwood Cup (his record was beaten by 10-year-old Persian Punch in 2003) when holding on grimly to resist the challenge of Shatter by a short-head. Goodwood’s former Derby trial at the May meeting, which started in 1968, was named in Predominate’s honour when founded in 1970 and run until 2006.

1960Derby winner St Paddy, the 8/11 favourite, was beaten half a length in the Gordon Stakes by Kipling, the mount of Geoff Lewis and trained by Peter Hastings-Bass. The Sussex Stakes was opened to four-year- olds, in addition to three-year-olds, so as to increase the number of runners in Goodwood’s feature race.

1962The handicap for three-year-olds over a mile, one furlong and 197 yards was introduced at Glorious Goodwood and called the News Of The World Handicap until 1969. It became the Extel Handicap between 1970 and 1989 and is now run as the Matchbook Best Value Exchange Handicap.

1963 Sir Gordon Richards, who dominated Goodwood as a

jockey in the post-war years, was leading trainer at Glorious Goodwood with four victories.

1964This was the final year that Goodwood just staged four days of racing annually.

1965Three new fixtures were introduced at Goodwood (two in August, one in September). The March Stakes, designed to be a St Leger trial, was founded.

1967Sir Gordon Richards, following eight victories in the Sussex Stakes as a jockey, saddled Reform to win the mile race. The Celebration Mile was first run in late August. Goodwood saw the biggest tote Jackpot pool of £412,687 on July 28, 1967, which paid a dividend of £745 to the 409 winning tickets. The record remained in place until 1991.

1968The May meeting was introduced. Sky Diver, trained by Peter Payne-Gallwey in Lambourn, was successful in the Stewards’ Cup in both 1967 and 1968, becoming the most horse recent to triumph in successive years.

1970Glorious Goodwood was extended to five from four days, with the addition of racing on the Saturday. The Predominate Stakes, a Derby trial, was introduced at the May meeting.

1971Brigadier Gerard, one of the best racehorses ever seen, won the Sussex Stakes easily by five lengths. He was defeated only once in 18 starts. Lester Piggott gained eight successes at Glorious Goodwood.

1972Scottish Rifle, trained by John Dunlop, won three races during the year at Goodwood,

QATAR GOODWOOD FESTIVAL 2018 QATAR GOODWOOD FESTIVAL 2018

the Predominate Stakes, the Gordon Stakes and the March Stakes. The Lupe Stakes, an Oaks trial, was introduced at the May meeting.

1973Three jockeys, Geoff Lewis, Tony Murray and Lester Piggott, all gained five successes at Glorious Goodwood.

1974Take A Reef’s half-length success in the 1974 Extel Handicap (now the Matchbook Best Value Exchange Handicap), under a welter burden of 9st 11lb, entitled the Bruce Hobbs-trained three-year-old to be rated the best of his generation according to the official handicappers, ahead of the Derby winner Snow Knight and the 2000 Guineas hero Nonoalco. Lester Piggott partnered nine winners during Glorious Goodwood.

1975The Vintage Stakes was first run. The seven-furlong event for two-year-olds has generated three winners who have gone on to Derby success - Troy, Dr Devious and Sir Percy – and three subsequent 2000 Guineas scorers - Don’t Forget Me, Mister Baileys and Galileo Gold – plus many other top horses. Court Lane proved successful three times during the year at Goodwood, taking the Drayton Handicap, the Waterford Rosebowl Handicap and the John Kent Handicap for trainer Gavin Hunter.

1976The parade ring and weighing room were moved from the western end of the course to behind the main stand and thus became much more accessible. The Henry Cecil-trained Fool’s Mate enjoyed two Glorious Goodwood successes under Lester Piggott, taking the 12-furlong Trundle Handicap, the first race on the opening day, and the PTS Laurels

Handicap over 10 furlongs on the final day.

1978Troy won the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood as a two-year-old and in 1979 went on to capture the Predominate Stakes at Goodwood’s May meeting on his way to winning the 200th Derby at Epsom Downs. Trainer Luca Cumani burst onto the scene at Goodwood in September, 1978. Kilroy Hawk’s victory in the Bain Dawes Maiden on September 16 was his first winner at the course, and was followed by two more winners that afternoon – Lily Marlene in the Pilleygreen Stakes and Music By Hand in the Inkpen Stakes. All three were ridden by Pat Eddery and were hardly unexpected - they all started heavily-backed, odds-on favourites. It was an early warning for bookmakers that Cumani was a trainer to be feared at Goodwood. His consecutive victories in the Extel Handicap (now the Matchbook Best Value Exchange Handicap) with Free Guest (1984), Fish N’ Chips (1985) and Chinoiserie (1986) left many a bookmaker licking his wounds and the Newmarket-based handler has continued to do well at the course.

1979The Bombay Sapphire Glorious Stakes, then known as the Alycidon Glorious Stakes, was first run at Glorious Goodwood and the 12-furlong contest was named after the 1949 Goodwood Cup winner.

1980The March Stand was opened by Her Majesty the Queen on the first day of Glorious Goodwood, Tuesday, July 29, 1980. Le Moss won his second successive Goodwood Cup.

1981Trainer Henry Cecil celebrated a third Goodwood Cup success in a row when saddling Ardross.

1982The first running of the Goodwood Handicap (which became the Goodwood Stakes) was held at Santa Anita, California, following a partnership between Oak Tree Racing Association and Goodwood Racecourse. The Oak Tree Stakes took place for the first time at Glorious Goodwood. The race, open to fillies and mares and run over seven furlongs, had been founded two years beforehand.

1984Chief Singer won an eventful Sussex Stakes in which the half-length second Rousillon was disqualified and placed last after his jockey Greville Starkey, subsequently banned for 14 days, was judged to have ridden recklessly by the stewards and caused interference to the winner. Chief Singer had previously won the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, also over a mile, and the six-furlong July Cup at Newmarket.

1985The first evening fixture at Goodwood was staged in June. Steve Cauthen, a top American jockey who rode in Britain from 1979, enjoyed considerable success at Goodwood, partnering 94 winners before his retirement in 1993. One of the races he did best in was the Vintage Stakes. His first winner was on Faustus in 1985 and two more came on High Estate (1988) and Be My Chief (1989), all trained by Henry Cecil.

1986 The great Dancing Brave, trained locally at Pulborough by Guy Harwood, made his only appearance at Goodwood in 1986. Having won the 2000 Guineas, Eclipse Stakes and King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes in devastating fashion earlier that year as well as finishing an unlucky second in the Derby at Epsom,

Dancing Brave used the G3 Select Stakes as a prep race for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Five opponents lined up in the Select Stakes, but such was Dancing Brave’s superiority, bookmakers did not bet on the race and no starting price was returned. Khalid Abdullah’s colt coasted home by 10 lengths under Greville Starkey. The following month, Dancing Brave triumphed in one of the strongest-ever renewals of the G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp, France, and was the highest-rated horse in what became the World’s Best Racehorse Rankings until Frankel’s exploits in 2012.

1988Jack Berry, a popular character at Goodwood, saddled his first winner at the track with Almost Blue on July 29, 1988. He retired at the end of the 1999 season, having sent out 18 winners at Goodwood over the course of his career, 10 of which came at Glorious Goodwood, very much an annual pilgrimage for the Lancashire-based trainer, who has since become well-known for his charitable fundraising. His trademark red shirt was last seen in the winner’s enclosure at Goodwood on July 31, 1998, when Eastern Lyric triumphed under a fine ride from Kieren Fallon in the Singleton Handicap. Mtoto, the brilliant winner of the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown (1987, 1988) and the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot (1988), started his 1988 campaign in the most controversial circumstances in Goodwood’s Festival Stakes. The drama that unfolded was none of his doing, however. Mtoto won the race convincingly in the style expected of an odds-on favourite, but the whole field had been directed on to the wrong course by dolls incorrectly positioned (resulting in the horses covering appreciably less than the 10

furlongs which had been the intended race distance). The stewards were left with no option but to declare the race void and refund all stake money.

1989The 10th Duke of Richmond, who died in 2017, took the title and the Charlton Stand was opened. Kerita, trained by Fulke Johnson Houghton, won three times on three separate racedays in 1989, all run over seven furlongs. Starting in the Boxgrove Fillies’ Maiden in May, she progressed to Listed success in the Oak Tree Stakes at Glorious Goodwood before taking the G3 Supreme Stakes in October.

1990The Sussex Stand was opened by peerless BBC commentator Peter O’Sullevan (later Sir). The Glorious Goodwood handicap for three-year-olds over a mile and a half was initiated as the Tote Gold Trophy and, for the first three years, was for older horse too. The best victor was the 1995 one, Pilsudski, who went on to win six G1 races. The race is now called the Move Over To Matchbook Handicap.

1991Owner/breeder Jeff Smith enjoyed a remarkable run of success at Goodwood from 1991 in which year Flashfoot (twice), Primitive Singer, Northern Habit and Philidor all won for him. The following year saw Lochsong’s victory in the Stewards’ Cup and 1993 brought even more glory for Lochsong in the King George Stakes and Philidor in the Celebration Mile. Lochsong gained a second win in the King George Stakes in 1994, while Blue Siren landed the Oak Tree Stakes the same year. Grey Shot captured the 1996 Goodwood Cup, while earlier on – in 1984 – Smith was victorious in Goodwood’s premier race, the Sussex Stakes, with Chief Singer.

1992Marling defeated Selkirk in an epic finish to the Sussex Stakes. The race was one of the most thrilling ever witnessed at the track, with the brilliant filly defeating the champion miler by a head following a prolonged duel. Spinning became the first horse to win twice at Glorious Goodwood since Fool’s Mate in 1976. Ian Balding’s charge won Wednesday’s Tote Gold Trophy under Ray Cochrane before following up for the same jockey in Friday’s Glorious Stakes.

1993Pat Eddery became the first jockey to ride 200 winners at Goodwood when Cheveux Mitchell, trained by Mick Channon, won the Kidsons Impey Trophy on May 20. He reached 271 Goodwood winners by the end of the 2003 when he retired from the saddle.

1994Following his victories in both the Select Stakes and the Festival Stakes in 1994, Alderbrook was the second Goodwood victor within a few years to go on to win the Champion Hurdle (1995) at Cheltenham. Morley Street won the Gatwick South Terminal Stakes in 1990 prior to his 1991 Champion Hurdle triumph.

1995Goodwood’s first Sunday race fixture was staged on August 27, 1995, giving a record total of 19 racedays at the course that year. The day featured the first race, the Ucello II Trophy Handicap, for Jump jockeys at Goodwood and was won by David Bridgwater aboard Mr Browning. The novel contest attracted many leading riders including Adrian Maguire, Jamie Osborne, Carl Llewellyn, Norman Williamson, Andrew Thornton and Adam Kondrat from France. A similar race is now run at Goodwood’s final fixture of the year in October.

Three course records, which still stand, were set during Glorious Goodwood – Brief Glimpse went 1m 23.88s in the Listed Oak Tree Stakes over seven furlongs, Vena passed the post in 1m 52.18s for the nine-furlong Drawing Room Handicap and Presenting won the 12-furlong Westminster Taxi Insurance Gordon Stakes in 2m 31.57s. The Bentinck Conservatory was built.

1996Another new fixture was added to Goodwood’s calendar in June, bringing the number of racedays up to 20. Mark Of Esteem, ridden by Frankie Dettori, put up one of the most impressive performances of the season when winning the G2 Celebration Mile on August 24. The 2000 Guineas winner, who had won a two-year-old maiden at Goodwood’s July Meeting in 1995, swept into the lead in the final furlong with a blistering turn of foot to beat Bishop Of Cashel by three and a half lengths. Mark Of Esteem later secured the title of champion European miler following an emphatic success in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot. That victory was the third leg of the charismatic Italian’s record-breaking seven-timer. Glorious Goodwood in 1996 coincided with the centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, and Champagne Lanson, then the sponsors of the Vintage Stakes, celebrated the occasion by presenting a magnum of champagne to the owner of every horse that ran at the meeting with the word Olympic in its name. James and Marguerite Baturi ensured that the sponsors kept their promise when Olympic Spirit finished fifth in the Molecomb Stakes. The lucky owners were fortunate to win the horse in a competition organised by William Hill and Midland Bank to raise money for the British Olympic Fund.

1997Sir Peter O’Sullevan, doyen of racing commentators, delivered his final Goodwood broadcast on September 13, before retiring from his duties behind the microphone for the BBC. It was not an easy assignment with which to sign off. The race in question was the William Hill Sprint Cup Handicap, a six-furlong dash with 29 runners in which the winning margin was a short-head. Master trainer Major Dick Hern was another legendary figure who retired in 1997. His first winner at Goodwood was Trimmer in the 1959 Trundle Stakes. Another 114 victories followed, including two Sussex Stakes, two Goodwood Cups, five Gordon Stakes and six Vintage Stakes. His final success at the track was Khafaaq in the Scats Handicap on September 25, 1997, and he nearly had a winner with his last Goodwood runner when The Thruster went down by three quarters of a length in the St John Ambulance Brigade Nursery later on the same card. Averti’s last-gasp success in the King George Stakes at Glorious Goodwood brought both trainer William Muir and the horse a first Group victory. One of the reasons the six-year-old had not previously realised his full potential on the racecourse was a fear of the starting stalls which caused him to panic at the beginning of his races. On the final day of Glorious Goodwood, racegoers had the unusual privilege of watching in action a future Eclipse Award winner for Best Turf Filly or Mare in the United States. The filly in question was the John Gosden-trained Ryafan who justified favouritism in the Nassau Stakes which turned out to be Ryafan’s final race in Europe as she was sent across the Atlantic in the autumn. She won all three of her races in America – the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland, the Yellow Ribbon Stakes at Santa Anita and the Matriarch Stakes at Hollywood Park.

1998The 1m 1f 197y start (previously 1m 2f) combined with the 1m 1f start, the longer races using the top bend and the shorter contests the lower bend. Double Trigger became the first horse to win three Goodwood Cups, having previously gained glory in 1995 and 1997. He had seemingly lost his way after the 1997 victory. However, a good second to Kayf Tara in the 1998 Gold Cup at Ascot showed that ‘Trigger’ was not a light of yesteryear. Sent off at 11-2 behind the 5-2 favourite Kayf Tara, Double Trigger stormed through to beat Canon Can by three quarters of a length to the delight of the big crowd. What is now the G3 Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes, for three-year-olds over a mile, was introduced into the Glorious Goodwood race programme. The Tote’s new Trifecta bet came into existence in the Stewards’ Cup. Champion trainer under both codes in Ireland, Aidan O’Brien gained his first Goodwood win with the two-year-old colt Orpen in the EBF Richard Baerlein Maiden on August 1.

1999The Nassau Stakes was promoted to G1 status. The draw for the Stewards’ Cup was decided by owners and trainers for the first time and this practice continues for the big sprint handicap. Apprentice Adrian Nicholls completed a fantastic 1,979/1 treble on the Friday of Glorious Goodwood, scoring on Pure Elegancia for his trainer father Dandy Nicholls, Petrus for Clive Brittain and Out Line for Michael Madgwick. Saeed bin Suroor pulled off a magnificent training feat in 1999, winning both of Goodwood’s G1 contests, as well as being the top trainer at Glorious Goodwood with four winners. The Newmarket-based handler, who trains for Godolphin, sent out Aljabr to land the Sussex Stakes in a

new course record time of 1m 35.66s (since broken) and was also successful with Zahrat Dubai in the Nassau Stakes. It was a good year for the trainer at Goodwood as he was also successful in the Goodwood Cup with Kayf Tara, Cape Cross won the Celebration Mile and Dubai Millennium captured a Listed race. Three other course records, which still stand, were broken during Glorious Goodwood. Five-year-old Rudi’s Pet went 56.01s in the five-furlong King George Stakes, while two-year-olds Bachir (1m 9.81s in the six-furlong Richmond Stakes) and Ekraar (1m 24.99s in the seven-furlong Vintage Stakes) set new records for their age group.

2000A festive crowd came to Goodwood to celebrate HM The Queen Mother’s 100th birthday on Thursday, August 4, 2000. The G3 Molecomb Stakes was named the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother’s 100th Birthday Molecomb Stakes to honour the occasion. The defining moment of the season was the ‘Iron Horse’ Giant’s Causeway winning the G1 Sussex Stakes. The three-year-old Storm Cat colt thus gained his third G1 success of the campaign and he went on to two further victories at the highest level, as well as finishing a magnificent second to Tiznow in America’s Breeders’ Cup Classic at Churchill Downs in November that year. Giant’s Causeway, trained by Irish champion Aidan O’Brien, was the first Irish-trained winner of the Sussex Stakes since the (no relation) Vincent O’Brien-trained King’s Lake in the 1981 renewal. The Lennox Stakes was first run as a G3 event and achieved promotion to G2 status in 2003. Richard Hughes, much better known as a Flat jockey, renewed his Jump licence especially so he could partner all-the-way winner Samarardo in the Ucello II &

Ubu III Trophy Handicap, confined to Jump jockeys, for trainer Nick Littmoden on September 21.

2001 The paddock redevelopment opened to much praise.

2002 The Racecourse celebrated its 200th Anniversary and the occasion was marked by the publication of the ‘Glorious Goodwood’ book and video and the launch of the GG Club, Goodwood’s racing club for the younger generation. The Aidan O’Brien-trained Rock Of Gibraltar equalled Mill Reef’s record of six consecutive G1 victories with success in the G1 Sussex Stakes.

2003Persian Punch will always be remembered with great fondness at Goodwood and his rousing victory in the 2003 Goodwood Cup will go down as one of the most memorable in Goodwood’s history. It was two years after his first success in the race and, at 10 years of age, there were a group of young pretenders eager to snatch the staying crown from this most admirable of horses. Sent off the 7-2 second favourite, the son of Persian Heights was soon leading the field and despite coming under pressure at the half-way stage, his supporters drew confidence from his previous heroic performances. So many times had he turned around a hopeless-looking situation and come out on top, but it was obvious from a quarter-mile out that Persian Punch would have to fight like never before. Jardines Lookout, the previous year’s winner and four years Persian Punch’s junior, looked momentarily as though he would grasp victory, but David Elsworth’s charge stuck his neck out and managed to land a famous victory under an emotional Martin Dwyer. The jockey paraded Persian

Punch in front of the stands and the reception the horses received was no less vociferous than when Double Trigger claimed his third Goodwood Cup in 1998. A seventh run in the Goodwood Cup was on the agenda for Persian Punch in 2004, but sadly, the huge horse with an even bigger following collapsed and died on his seasonal reappearance at Ascot in April. Persian Punch’s courage and spirit will always be intrinsically linked to Goodwood and it is only fitting that his ashes are buried at the racecourse where he achieved so much. A new fixture was introduced on Sunday, October 12.

2004The racecourse hosted its first ever fixture on a Saturday evening, entitled ‘Romance At The Races’. Goodwood was one of 30 courses to sign up to Racing UK, the dedicated horseracing broadcaster. The Goodwood groundstaff team, headed by Seamus Buckley, won the Neil Wyatt award for the best Flat racecourse in Britain for the second year running and a third time in all. They won it for the first time in 1999.

2005The new tote betting hall, which benefited both the Richmond and Gordon Enclosures, was unveiled before the first raceday of the season.

2006They said that we’d never witness a more exciting race at Goodwood than Marling’s epic head victory over Selkirk for the 1992 Sussex Stakes – well they were wrong! Those present for the G1 Nassau Stakes remain adamant that the battle between those two globetrotting mares Ouija Board and Alexander Goldrun was ‘as good as it gets’. The seven runners could boast success in no fewer than 13 G1 races, yet from the two-furlong

pole where classy three-year-old Nannina, who had won the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, had to give best to her elders, the duo fought tooth and tail up the straight, neither giving an inch. Frankie Dettori committed Ouija Board turning for home, but Alexander Goldrun, who had been the heroine in this race 12 months earlier, mastered Lord Derby’s much-travelled superstar in the last 300 yards, seemingly set for victory. However, defeat was not a word you could associate with either Frankie or Ouija Board and they found one renewed surge close home to win a thrilling encounter by a short-head. This was a simply wonderful renewal of Goodwood’s prestigious midsummer championship for fillies.

2007Channel 4 took over terrestrial television coverage of racing at Goodwood, following on from a 50-year partnership with the BBC.

2008Goodwood celebrated with one of its greatest friends when staging the Sir Peter O’Sullevan ‘The Voice of Racing’ 90th Birthday Handicap during Glorious Goodwood.

2009The quality of the racing was tremendous throughout the year, but particularly noteworthy was Rip Van Winkle’s impressive triumph in the G1 Sussex Stakes, while Midday, the gutsy winner of the Nassau Stakes, and Vale Of York, successful in the Listed Peter Willett Stakes, both went on to triumph at America’s top meeting of the year, the Breeders’ Cup. Danny Smith, a member of Goodwood’s groundstaff for 42 years, retired.

2010Midday won the G1 Nassau Stakes for a second successive

year, rallying well, while top-class three-year- old Canford Cliffs got the better of Rip Van Winkle in cheeky fashion at the end of a thrilling renewal of the G1 Sussex Stakes. Canford Cliffs was one of a modern-day record of nine winners at Glorious Goodwood for trainer Richard Hannon snr and jockey Richard Hughes. Hannon ended the year with 22 Goodwood successes – a new annual record total for any trainer at the West Sussex course. Adam Waterworth took over as managing director at the end of the year from Rod Fabricius who retired after 28 years in the role. Goodwood finished runner-up for the best Flat racecourse for the fifth year running in the Pitchcare Neil Wyatt Racecourse Groundstaff Awards.

2011Frankel became a true champion when the emphatic five-length winner of the much-anticipated ‘Duel on the Downs’ with the Richard Hannon-trained star Canford Cliffs in the G1 Sussex Stakes. He ended the year rated the best horse in the world. Sir Henry Cecil, Frankel’s trainer who was knighted in June, 2011, also saddled Midday to win a record-breaking third consecutive G1 Nassau Stakes – the mare’s sixth success at the highest level. Richard Hughes dominated the jockeys’ standings at Goodwood for the second successive year, riding an astonishing 21 winners.

2012History was created when Frankel became the first horse to win the G1 Sussex Stakes twice. Starting at 1/20, he was the shortest-priced favourite to capture the G1 mile feature and had no difficulty in seeing off by six lengths Godolphin’s Farrh, who won two G1s the following year. Frankel retired unbeaten in 14 starts - 10 of which came at G1 level - and earned a rating of 140 in the World’s Best

Racehorse Rankings. This was the highest rating awarded since the system was introduced in 1977 and Frankel has a claim to be the best horse to have run at Goodwood.

2013Goodwood’s most successful trainer of modern times, Richard Hannon snr, handed over the reins to his son Richard at the end of 2013. The Wiltshire handler retired following a record 257 victories at the course, of which a then joint-record of 73 were at Glorious Goodwood. A superb final season for the trainer included a third success in the G1 Sussex Stakes with Toronado, a record-equalling nine winners at Glorious Goodwood and a 10th leading annual trainer award with 18 triumphs. Fellow training legend Sir Henry Cecil passed away following a long battle with cancer in June, 2013. The master of Warren Place in Newmarket was responsible for 170 wins at Goodwood, with a then joint-record of 73 at Glorious Goodwood - and oversaw the careers of Sussex Stakes winners Bolkonski, Wollow, Kris and the imperious Frankel, as well as outstanding stayers Le Moss and Ardross, who both won the Goodwood Cup.

2014Richard Hannon jnr continued where his father left off and was leading trainer at Goodwood with 11 wins through the season. Kingman put up an imperious performance to win the G1 Sussex Stakes, scoring easily by a length from Toronado. The colt, owned by Khalid Abdullah and trained by John Gosden, was named the joint-best three-year-old in Europe and crowned Cartier Horse Of The Year. In December, at the iconic Shard building in London, Goodwood Racecourse announced a new 10-year partnership with Qatar - the single biggest sponsorship

deal ever done for the benefit of British racing. Commencing in 2015, the new partnership made the Qatar Goodwood Festival one of the most significant and valuable meetings in the world.

2015Total prize money on offer for the Qatar Goodwood Festival received a £2-million boost thanks the Qatar sponsorship and totalled over £4.5 million for the Thoroughbred races. Attendance at the five-day meeting was a record 103,457. Richard Hughes, one of the most successful jockeys at Goodwood in recent years, retired from riding following the 2015 Qatar Goodwood Festival. The three-time champion jockey, who took out a training licence after hanging up his riding boots, rode 179 winners at Goodwood and was leading jockey at the Qatar Goodwood Festival four times – 2010 to 2013. He partnered nine winners at the five-day meeting in 2010. Simple Verse finished second off a mark of 77 on her handicap debut in the Goodwood Flying School Fillies’ Handicap at the May Festival and the fast improving three-year-old filly returned to Goodwood to capture the G3 Markel Insurance Fillies’ Stakes at the Qatar Goodwood Festival. She subsequently went on to register a memorable G1 double for trainer Ralph Beckett, with victories in the Ladbrokes St Leger and QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes. Dubday became the first Qatari-trained horse to win a race in Great Britain when successful in the G3 Betfred Glorious Stakes at the Qatar Goodwood Festival for his handler Jassim Al Ghazali and owner Al Shaqab Racing.

2016Take Cover became the first two-time winner of the G2 King George Qatar Stakes since Lochsong in 1993 and 1994,

defeating Washington DC by a neck. David Griffiths’ popular front-runner scored by the same margin in 2014, and was beaten a head in 2015. Minding, the subsequent Cartier Horse Of The Year 2016, won the G1 Qatar Nassau Stakes, while Big Orange captured the Qatar Goodwood Cup for the second successive year. Sir Michael Stoute became the most successful trainer ever at the Qatar Goodwood Festival, achieving his 75th winner after four 2016 successes – he went past the 73 Festival successes accumulated by both Richard Hannon senior and the late Sir Henry Cecil. Ryan Moore, son of Sussex trainer Gary Moore, partnered eight winners during the 2016 Qatar Goodwood Festival.

2017Yorkshire trainer David ‘Dandy’ Nicholls, a former jockey, passed away in June at the age of 61. The king of sprinters, Nicholls, sent out 43 winners at Goodwood, including a remarkable 32 at the Qatar Goodwood Festival. He enjoyed three successes in the Unibet Stewards’ Cup – Evens

And Odds (2010), Gift Horse (2005) and Tayseer (2000) – and partnered the David Chapman-trained Soba to victory in the 1982 renewal of the same race. The Qatar Goodwood Cup, first run in 1812, was promoted to G1 status ahead of the 2017 running and the prize money raised to £500,000. The historic race became the highlight of the opening day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival, Tuesday, having been moved from the Thursday. The G1 Qatar Nassau Stakes moved to the Thursday, the G1PA Qatar International Stakes went to the Wednesday and the G3 Qatar Gordon Stakes switched to the Saturday. Clerk of the Course Seamus Buckley retired at the end of Goodwood’s 2017 season after 51 years in racing and presiding over his 23rd Qatar Goodwood Festival. The 65-year-old, who was awarded the Neil Wyatt Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016, has been succeeded by Edward Arkell. The 2017 Qatar Goodwood Festival got off to a dramatic start after Her Majesty The Queen’s Fabricate was awarded the Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap in the stewards’ room having

finished second to Dark Red. The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Expert Eye was a sensational four and a half-length winner of the G2 Qatar Vintage Stakes, whilst Big Orange was denied a third straight success in the Goodwood Cup when narrowly beaten by the John Gosden-trained Stradivarius. Andrea Atzeni, on board Expert Eye and Stradivarius, completed an amazing 8,344-1 four-timer on the first day. The Andrew Balding-trained Here Comes When was a shock 20/1 winner of the feature £1-million Qatar Sussex Stakes, getting the better of 8/13 favourite Ribchester by a neck. One of the stars of the week was Aidan O’Brien’s Winter in the G1 Qatar Nassau Stakes. The Charlie Hills-trained Battaash confirmed his class with a convincing two and a quarter length victory in the G2 King George Qatar Stakes. Sir Michael Stoute registered his 10th victory in the G3 Qatar Gordon Stakes after Crystal Ocean’s impressive win under Ryan Moore. Trainer Mark Johnston gained his 11th leading trainer award at the Qatar Goodwood Festival with four winners. Ryan Moore

won the Racing UK Top Jockey Award for the second year in succession, having partnered five winners during the 2017 Qatar Goodwood Festival. The 10th Duke of Richmond, Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox, passed away at the age of 87 on September 1. He saved and transformed Goodwood House and turned the Goodwood Estate, with the racecourse at its centre, into a thriving enterprise.

2018Former trainer and a long-time director of Goodwood Racecourse John Dunlop passed away on July 7 aged 78. He was born in Tetbury, Gloucestershire on July 10, 1939 and took out a training licence in 1966 at nearby Arundel and was a constant at Goodwood until his retirement at the end of the 2012 season. From Castle Stables, he saddled 10 British Classic winners, including the Derby with Shirley Heights (1978) and Erhaab (1994). Champion trainer in 1995, he enjoyed 205 winners at Goodwood, with 42 of those coming at Glorious Goodwood. Dunlop’s first course winner was Storm Bird in the New Ham Stakes on July 25, 1967, while the curtain came down with Sejalaat’s success in the Reheat Nursery on September 4, 2012. His biggest Goodwood success was with Posse in the 1980 Sussex Stakes. Dunlop famously saddled Sheikh Mohammed’s first winner in Britain, Hatta, at Brighton in 1977 and the filly went on to land the Molecomb Stakes in the same year at Glorious Goodwood. He was a tireless fundraiser for charities, especially those connected with stable lads’ welfare, and in 1996 that work was recognised by his appointment as OBE. Dunlop also gave his time generously to Goodwood Racecourse, serving as a director between 1991 and 2012.

The 10th Duke of Richmond

This race came into existence as the Chesterfield Cup in the same year

as Goodwood’s most famous handicap, the Stewards’ Cup (1840), and was named after George Stanhope, the sixth Earl of Chesterfield. The Earl was a great racing man and reckless gambler who won two Goodwood Cups with Priam (bought after his 1830 Derby victory).

The Chesterfield Cup was run at Glorious Goodwood up to 1969 but, when in 1970 the Festival was extended to five days to include the Saturday, the PTS Laurels Handicap (also over nearly 10 furlongs but for older horses only) was introduced as a replacement and the Chesterfield Cup was moved to the August Meeting.

The race was switched back to the Saturday of Glorious Goodwood in 1979 and four years later was moved to the first day of the meeting.

Some classy horses have been successful in the Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap. The 2003 winner, Imperial Dancer, won the G1 Premio Roma later that season and then became a successful stallion. The 1998 second Yavana’s Pace made history four years later when, as a 10-year-old, he became the oldest winner of a G1 race in Europe with victory in the Credit Suisse Private Banking Pokal in Cologne, Germany.

The James Given-trained Indian Days swept to victory in 2010, prior to scoring in G3 and G2 races. The now-retired trainer Ian Balding sent out six winners of this race, including the only dual scorer Mailman in 1984 and 1986.

Yorkshire-based Mark Johnston joined Balding on six winners in 2016, when Fire Fighting was successful.

The 2017 renewal was a dramatic one with Her Majesty The Queen’s Fabricate awarded the race in the stewards’ room after suffering interference with the head first past the post, Ed Dunlop’s Dark Red, who was subsequently demoted to second. Fabricate progressed to win the G3 Winter Hill Stakes at Windsor next time out.

Adam Kirby has ridden the last three winners.

Three horses have defied 10st - Pelorus in 1989, Fluellen in1977 and Hail The Pirates in 1974 - while three-year-old Criterion shouldered 9st 10lb in 1982.

17 of the 72 favourites since 1946 have won. The age breakdown of winners in the same time frame has been 3yo - 7; 4yo - 40; 5yo - 18; 6yo - 5; 7yo - 2.

The Qatar Vintage Stakes is one of the premier two-year-old races of the

season and has been won by numerous top-class performers including some who have gone on to Classic glory the following year.

The first Vintage Stakes winner to do so was Troy in 1978, who progressed to take the Derby at Epsom Downs the following June. Dr Devious became the second colt to achieve this notable double in 1991/1992, while Sir Percy also tasted glory in the 12-furlong Epsom Classic after clinching the 2005 renewal.

Don’t Forget Me (1986), Mister Baileys (1993) and Galileo Gold (2015) won the Goodwood race before adding the mile Classic, the QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, the following spring.

Mark Johnston, responsible for Mister Baileys, also trained the 2003 winner Lucky Story and the exceptional Shamardal. The latter was champion two-year-old in 2004 after winning the Vintage Stakes in an unbeaten campaign that culminated in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket. The following season, after being transferred to Godolphin, Shamardal was brilliant in

three G1 starts, winning the Poule d’Essai de Poulains, the Prix du Jockey Club and the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Rio De La Plata, who gave Frankie Dettori the third of his four Vintage Stakes victories, was a good winner in 2007, also for Godolphin, and went on to finish second in the Poule d’Essai de Poulains the following year.

Subsequent Hong Kong G1 winner Xtension provided trainer Clive Cox with his first Vintage success in 2009 and was

narrowly beaten in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket later in the season.

Richard Hannon snr and Richard Hughes dominated the Vintage Stakes from 2010 to 2013, with four consecutive wins courtesy of King Torus (by six lengths in 2010), Chandlery (2011), Olympic Glory (2012) and Toormore (2013). Olympic Glory subsequently captured two G1 contests, including the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot in October, 2013, while Toormore was crowned Europe’s champion two-year-old following an unbeaten campaign.

Ireland’s champion trainer Aidan O’Brien registered a first Vintage success in 2014 with Highland Reel scoring easily in the hands of Joseph O’Brien, enjoying a first Qatar Goodwood Festival victory. The son of Galileo progressed to win the G1 Secretariat Stakes at Arlington, USA and the G1 Hong Kong Vase in 2015, while in 2016 he captured Ascot’s G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes and the G1 Breeders’ Cup Turf at Santa Anita, USA. In 2017, the son of Galileo plundered the Investec G1 Coronation Cup at Epsom and the G1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot, before his career aptly

culminated with a game success in the G1 Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin, with Highland Reel amassing over £7.5million in prize money, a new record total for a European-trained horse.

O’Brien was also on the mark in the 2016 Qatar Vintage Stakes with War Decree, while the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Expert Eye justified favouritism in 2017 with a devastating four and a half-length success.

The Qatar Vintage Stakes moved to the opening day in 2015 and 28 favourites have obliged in the 43 runnings.

Goodwood acquired the Lennox Stakes in 2000 after it had been staged at

Newcastle as the Beeswing Stakes. The inaugural running at Goodwood, with G3 status, was won by the John Gosden-trained Observatory, who went on to triumph in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot the following month.

Nayyir captured the 2002 renewal and came back in fine form for a repeat victory in 2003, when the race was upgraded to G2. Court Masterpiece succeeded in 2005 and progressed to G1 success at Longchamp, France, that October before returning to Glorious Goodwood the following year to win the G1 Qatar Sussex Stakes.

Iffraaj, now a successful stallion, had been beaten a head in the G1 Darley July Cup over six furlongs at Newmarket prior to landing the 2006 renewal of the Qatar Lennox Stakes impressively by four lengths, the widest winning margin in the race.

Paco Boy proved himself a very worthy winner in 2008 as he went on to race most consistently at the highest level. The three-year-old, also doing well as a stallion, displayed his burgeoning brilliance when slamming 1000 Guineas winner Natagora

by three lengths in the G1 Prix de la Foret at Longchamp later in the year. Trained by Richard Hannon snr, Paco Boy gained two more G1 victories, taking the 2009 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot and adding the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury the following year.

Finjaan, winner of the 2008 Molecomb Stakes, showed his liking for Goodwood with Lennox success in 2009, giving trainer Marcus Tregoning his second victory in the race following on from Fath in 2001.

In 2012, there was a second success for Sir Henry Cecil when 5-4 favourite Chachamaidee scored comfortably by a length and a half. The five-year-old was the first mare to prevail and went on to G1glory in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown in Ireland.

Garswood became the first Northern-trained winner in 2013, when the North Yorkshire-based Richard Fahey sent out the three-year-old to triumph under Ryan Moore.

Es Que Love, trained by Clive Cox, got up by a neck in 2014 to defeat odds-on favourite Toormore, successful in the

2013 Vintage Stakes. Toormore went one better in 2015, seeing off fellow joint-favourite Dutch Connection by three quarters of a length.

The Charlie Hills-trained Dutch Connection himself succeeded in 2016, having been sold to Godolphin. It was a first Goodwood success for his New Zealand-born jockey James McDonald.

The David Simcock-trained Breton Rock was a shock 50/1 winner of the 2017 renewal under Andrea Atzeni, who registered a remarkable 8,344-1 four-timer on day one of that Qatar Goodwood Festival. Horses in behind Breton Rock included Aclaim who went on to land the G2 Park Stakes and G1 Prix De La Foret, Librisa Breeze, successful in the G1 QIPCO British Champions Sprint Stakes, G1 winner Limato and G1 Al Quoz Sprint victor Jungle Cat.

The age breakdown of winners has been 3yo - 7; 4yo - 5; 5yo – 5; 7yo - 1. Six of the 18 favourites have won the Qatar Lennox Stakes.

One of the oldest events in the Flat racing calendar, the Goodwood

Cup was established in 1812 as a three-mile race. The distance dropped to two miles in 1825 and then settled at two miles and five furlongs from 1833 before being reduced to two and a half miles in 1990 due to the repositioning of the winning post. Following the Jockey Club’s review of staying races, the distance went back to two miles in 1991 and remains at that trip. In 2017, the Qatar Goodwood Cup was upgraded to G1 status with boosted prize money of £500,000 (up from £300,000 in 2016).

King George IV was successful with Fleur De Lis in 1829 but, when the horse returned 12 months later to win again, the monarch had passed away (June 26, 1830) and the owner was his brother, King William IV, who also had the second and third, Zinganee and The Colonel.

Fleur de Lis tried for three in a row in 1831, but she was beaten by Priam, who became the first Derby victor (1830) to win the Goodwood Cup. Priam, one of the best horses to race in the 19th century, took the Cup again in 1832.

There was plenty of interest in the race from France and Beggarman (1840), Jouvence (1853), Monarque (1857) and Flageolet (1973) all represented French interests, while Starke (1861) originated in America. Other great winners in the 19th century were the supremely tough and talented filly Virago (1854) and the unbeaten St Simon (1884), who would go on to be one of the most influential stallions of all time.

Also on the roll of honour is the great Hungarian-bred mare, Kincsem, successful in 1878 on her sole start in Britain. Kincsem was the outsider of three runners, but she never appeared in danger of giving up an unbeaten run which stretched to 54 races on her retirement. She also won races

in Austria, France and Germany as well as in Hungary.

Brown Jack, so good at Ascot, got on the Goodwood Cup roll of honour in 1930, while excellent performers such as Alycidon (1949), the French-trained Pan (1951), Souepi (1953), Zarathustra (1956), Gladness (1958), Trelawny (1963), Rock Roi (1971) and Erimo Hawk (1972) all succeeded.

More recently, such champion stayers as Le Moss (1979 & 80), Ardross (1981), Double Trigger (1995/97/98), Kayf Tara (1999) and Yeats (2006 & 08) have triumphed. The race was downgraded to G3 from G2 status for the 1986 running, despite the Ascot Gold Cup/Goodwood Cup double having been achieved five times from 1979 to 1984. In 1995, the Goodwood Cup deservedly regained G2 status.

That same year, the Goodwood Cup was won by the remarkable Double Trigger, who went on to complete the stayers’ Triple Crown in the Doncaster Cup, having already taken the Gold Cup at Ascot.

He was the latest of six horses to succeed in the three races of the stayers’ Triple Crown. The other horses were Isonomy (1879), Alycidon (1949), Souepi (1953), Le Moss (1979 & 80), and Longboat (1986).

Double Trigger returned for a second Goodwood Cup victory in 1997 and created history with his third success in 1998, becoming the only three-time winner to great celebration. His trainer, Mark Johnston, also captured the Goodwood Cup in 2000 with Ascot Gold Cup winner Royal Rebel, who came second in 2004 to stable companion Darasim.

The Saeed bin Suroor-trained Kayf Tara, the 1998 and 2000 Ascot Gold Cup winner, put up a dazzling display for Godolphin in 1999 to give Frankie Dettori his first of three successes in the Goodwood race.

Persian Punch, one of the most popular stayers of recent times, proved too good for his 11 rivals in 2001 and returned to claim victory again in the 2003 renewal, beating 2002 winner Jardines Lookout, who had been a rare three-year-old scorer, when rallying to get up by a short-head.

Aged 10, that victory, which sent the large crowd into raptures, saw the front-running Persian Punch become the oldest horse ever to win the Goodwood Cup. The wonderful David Elsworth-trained campaigner, so game in his races, ran six times in total in the Goodwood Cup. He was also third, fifth twice and last. His ashes were scattered near the winning post at Goodwood soon after his demise in 2004.

Yeats was without doubt one of the greatest stayers of the modern era, with an unprecedented four Ascot Gold Cup triumphs to his name, and the Aidan O’Brien-trained champion was imperious in winning a second Goodwood Cup in 2008, having first triumphed in 2006.

The filly Allegretto was successful from 14 rivals in 2007 and she ended that year by winning a G1 event in France, while Schiaparelli, owned like Kayf Tara by Godolphin and ridden by Dettori, stepped up to two miles for the first time at Goodwood in 2009 after gaining four G1s at 12 furlongs, won well and subsequently captured another G1. Goodwood specialist Illustrious Blue took the 2010 renewal for local trainer William Knight, who is based at Angmering Park near Arundel. The seven-year-old had scored at Goodwood six times previously, from seven to 12 furlongs.

Godolphin and Dettori enjoyed a third Goodwood Cup victory in 2011 with Opinion Poll, one of the top stayers of the year, who also triumphed in York’s Lonsdale Cup and was second in the Gold Cup at Ascot, the Doncaster Cup and the QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup.

In 2012, Irish handler John Oxx scored with Saddler’s Rock, who became the trainer’s first winner at Goodwood, while Tom Dascombe-trained Brown Panther took the spoils in 2013 to great acclaim for his part-owner and breeder Michael Owen, the former England footballer.

Cavalryman gave Saeed bin Suroor his third Goodwood Cup success in 2014 and the eight-year-old provided Godolphin with a fourth victory.

Big Orange battled gamely for a neck success over Quest For More, with Gold Cup winner Trip To Paris a short-head back in third, in a thrilling finish to the 2015 renewal. All three horses went on to run well in the Melbourne Cup at Flemington with Trip To Paris taking fourth ahead of Big Orange in fifth and Quest For More finishing a close ninth in Australia’s most famous race.

Big Orange returned for a repeat Qatar Goodwood Cup success in 2016, coming home a length and a quarter in front of Pallasator, with subsequent G1 Irish St Leger victor Wicklow Brave back in fourth. Successful in the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in 2017, 6/4 favourite Big Orange finished a length and three-quarters second behind John Gosden’s Stradivarius in his bid for a third consecutive victory in the Goodwood Cup.

The G1 Goodwood Cup is sandwiched between the G1 Gold Cup over two and a half miles at Ascot in June and the G2 Doncaster Cup over two and a quarter miles in September.

In 2018, the Qatar Goodwood Cup forms part of the Weatherbys Hamilton Stayers’

Million. The WH Stayers’ Million is a bonus of £1 million awarded to the connections of the horse who. having won one of four recognised prep races in May – Longines Sagaro Stakes (Ascot), Boodles Diamond Ormonde Stakes (Chester), Yorkshire Cup (York) or the Matchbook Henry II Stakes (Sandown Park) – then goes on to win the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in June, the Qatar Goodwood Cup at the Qatar Goodwood Festival in July and the Weatherbys Hamilton Lonsdale Cup at York’s Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival in August.

Lester Piggott (Gladness (1958), Exar (1960), Proverb (1974), Girandole (1975) & Ardross (1981)) and Pat Eddery (Erimo Hawk (1972), Valuable Witness (1985), Mazzacano (1989), Sonus (1993) & Grey Shot (1996)) both partnered five winners of the Goodwood Cup. In earlier times, Jem Robinson, George Fordham and Steve Donoghue also achieved five Goodwood Cup triumphs.

The most successful trainer since 1946 has been Cecil Boyd-Rochfort with six victories, while Barry Hills and Mark Johnston have five wins each. John Scott’s record of saddling the winner seven times came through Hornsea (1836), Carew (1837), Charles the Twelfth (1841 & 1842), Canezou (1849 & 1850) & Sweetsauce (1860).

The age of the winners since 1946 has been: 3yo - 8; 4yo - 29; 5yo - 19; 6yo - 8; 7yo - 4; 8yo - 2; 9yo - 1; 10yo - 1, while 36 out of the 72 winners started favourite.

One of the course’s oldest races, this marathon handicap has always been

a popular feature of Glorious Goodwood. The distance of the Goodwood Handicap was reduced by three furlongs to two miles in 1990 following the moving of the winning post and the introduction of new race distances, but, the following year, it was extended to two and a half miles. The trip was further lengthened to two miles and five furlongs in 2001 so as to have a race over the traditional trip of the Goodwood Cup which had then been dropped down to two miles.

The runners start in front of the stands and go the reverse way down the course before looping around and returning the correct way. This race is now the longest run at Goodwood each year.

Hugs Dancer, trained by James Given, was victorious in 2001 and 2002. He became the first horse since Golden Fire (1962 & 1963) to win the Goodwood Handicap two years in succession. The tough and versatile gelding also was victorious the Ebor Handicap and the Chester Cup before

transferring to Australia where he gained a G2 contest.

Baddam landed a famous double at Royal Ascot in 2006, winning the Ascot Handicap and Queen Alexandra Stakes, and the popular stayer swept to another long-distance triumph in the 2008 renewal of the Matchbook Betting Podcast Handicap.

Jump trainers dominated the finish in 2010, with the Nicky Henderson-trained Ghimaar defeating Ascot Handicap winner and subsequent Cheltenham Festival hero Junior, saddled by David Pipe, by a length and a half. It was Henderson’s second success in the race, following on from Afrad in 2005.

Dual-purpose trainer Micky Hammond, based in Yorkshire, saddled his first Goodwood winner when Hollins triumphed at 20-1 in 2011.

Another Yorkshire-based handler, Mark Johnston, collected a fourth Goodwood Handicap in 2013 with Broxbourne, adding to the victories of Hurricane Higgins

(2012), Knavesmire Omen (2003) and Cloud Inspector (1997).

Johnston’s Maid In Rio was sent off the 11/8 favourite in 2014, but it was 33/1 outsider Teak who stayed on best of all to score for trainer Ian Williams and jockey Silvestre de Sousa.

It was the turn of the Jump trainers again in 2015 when Sands Of Fortune, a rare Flat runner for dual Grand National-winning trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies, took the honours with son William in the saddle, while the grey mare Star Rider, trained by Hughie Morrison, won eased down in 2016.

Ian Williams saddled his second winner of the race, run in heavy rain, in 2017 with Cool Sky, who scored under Josephine Gordon, enjoying her first QatarGoodwood Festival success.

The age breakdown of winners (since 1946) has been 3yo - 4; 4yo - 35; 5yo - 17; 6yo - 6; 7yo - 7; 8yo - 3. 16 of the 72 favourites since 1946 have won the Goodwood Handicap.

THREE-YEAR-OLDS ONLY. ONE MILE & FOUR FURLONGS. FIRST RUN 1990 (NOTE: FOR THREE YEAR-OLDS AND UP 1990-92).

This handicap has been won by some high-class individuals, but pre-eminent

among them is the brilliant Pilsudski, victorious in 1995 for Newmarket trainer Sir Michael Stoute.

The colt progressed into a superstar over the next two seasons as he triumphed in premier G1 races such as the Breeders’ Cup Turf, Japan Cup, Eclipse Stakes and both the English and Irish Champion Stakes.

The middle-distance handicap has also gone the way of Midnight Legend (1994), subsequently a leading National Hunt sire, and Maylane (1997), who went on to take the G3 September Stakes at Epsom.

Midnight Legend’s trainer Luca Cumani won four of the first seven runnings of

the race. His other successes came with Black Monday (1990), Tidemark (1991) and Freequent (1996).

Sir Michael Stoute has enjoyed six victories in all, the most recent in 2015 through Her Majesty The Queen’s Dartmouth, who progressed to win the G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2016 and the 2017 G2 Yorkshire Cup. The Newmarket trainer was also responsible for Muhib (1998), Mary Stuart (1999), Regal Flush (2007) and Verdant (2010).

Mark Johnston has a good recent record, scoring with Love Galore (2008), Sir Graham Wade (2012), Double Bluff (2014) and Londinium (2017).

The 2003 winner, No Refuge, subsequently made his mark over hurdles with a G1 victory at the 2005 Cheltenham Festival.

Goodwood celebrated in 2008 with one of its greatest friends when renaming the race the Sir Peter O’Sullevan ‘The Voice of Racing’ 90th Birthday Handicap.

The 2016 victor Dal Harraild progressed to win two Listed races.

Five market leaders have been successful in the 28 runnings, the most recent being Dartmouth at 9-4 in 2015.

Previously run on Saturday, the race moved to Wednesday in 2017.

MARKEL INSURANCE MOLECOMB STAKES (GROUP THREE)

£75,000, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 2018

TWO-YEAR-OLDS ONLY. FIVE FURLONGS. FIRST RUN 1829 (NOTE: TWO-YEAR-OLD FILLIES ONLY 1932-80).

The Markel Insurance Molecomb Stakes is named after part of the Goodwood

Estate and for nearly half of the 20th century the race was restricted to fillies.

The Maktoum family celebrated a first-ever Group victory when Hatta won the 1977 renewal for Arundel trainer John Dunlop, while the brilliant Marwell won the last fillies-only race in 1980.

Fillies have continued to do well, with 14 successful since 1981, including Hoh Magic who added the G1 Prix Morny in 1994 and Carmine Lake, victorious in 1996 before defeating the best five-furlong sprinters in Europe in the 1997 Prix de l’Abbaye.

Enticing triumphed in 2006 and returned to the Glorious Goodwood winner’s enclosure in the 2008 King George Stakes over the same trip, while another speedy filly, Fleeting Spirit, won in 2007 and then took the 2009 G1 Darley July Cup.

Among high-class colts to have triumphed was Precocious, who prevailed in 1983 and went on to win the G2 Gimcrack Stakes at York in an unbeaten campaign.

Finjaan won the 2008 Molecomb Stakes and ended the season as one of the leading two-year-old colts after going down by two noses when third to Intense Focus in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket.

Irish-trained horses have been successful six times, with the latest winning raider being the David Wachman-trained Requinto in 2011.

Charlie Hills sent out Cotai Glory to win in 2014 in a new two-year-old course record time of 57.30s, bettering Requinto’s time of 57.51s set in the 2011 Molecomb Stakes. Trainer Mark Johnston saddled a first Molecomb Stakes winner in 2016 with Yalta who broke the course record when passing the post in 57.14s.

Another North Yorkshire handler, Karl Buke, landed the 2017 renewal with Havana Grey,

The incomparable Lester Piggott gained eight victories in the Molecomb Stakes during his brilliant riding career - the first in 1957 on Abelia and the final one with Precocious in 1983.

A French success came through Palariva, who was awarded the spoils by the stewards after finishing the head second in 1955.

32 of the 72 runnings since 1946 have gone to the market leader, most recently in 2010 when Zebedee won at 2-1. The shortest-priced winning favourite was 1-8 chance Diableretta in 1949. At the other end of the odds’ spectrum, Hotbee triumphed at 100-1 in 1985.

QATAR SUSSEX STAKES (GROUP ONE) (British Champions Series)

£1,000,000 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 2018

THREE-YEAR-OLDS & UPWARDS. ONE MILE. FIRST RUN 1841 (NOTE: FOR TWO-YEAR-OLDS ONLY UP TO 1878: FOR THREE-YEAR-OLDS ONLY UP TO 1959; 1960-74 FOR THREE & FOUR-YEAR-OLDS ONLY).

The Qatar Sussex Stakes is one of Europe’s most prestigious and richest

mile contests, with a roll of honour to match any major horse race in the world. It was promoted in value to £1 million in 2015 from £300,000 the previous year, thanks to Qatar’s sponsorship.

Goodwood’s race of champions had inauspicious beginnings, however. Lord George Bentinck and the fifth Duke of Richmond devised the race for two-year-olds, but it did not match the

prestige of either the Stewards’ Cup or the Goodwood Cup.

First staged in 1841, the Sussex Stakes was aimed at two-year-olds for 37 years. During that time, however, the race was uncontested on no fewer than 25 occasions and included 14 walkovers!

The race’s fortunes changed for the better after 1878 when it became a mile event for three-year-olds. Its status rose so that by 1885 the 2000 Guineas winner Paradox

lined up and augmented his Classic triumph with victory on the Sussex Downs. Royal patronage was received in 1909 when King Edward VII’s Derby winner Minoru took the spoils, his victory coming three years after Troutbeck, owned by the second Duke Of Westminster, won en route to Classic success in the St Leger at Doncaster. Other winners of note in that period include 1000 Guineas scorer Winkipop (1910), the prolific Stedfast (1911) and two more St Leger heroes in Tracery (1912) and Black Jester (1914).

The First World War (1914-18) halted the sport at Goodwood including the Sussex Stakes and, upon racing’s resumption, the Sussex Stakes failed to draw the same calibre of horses. It took until 1932 when the Aga Khan’s Irish Derby victor Datsur won for the race’s profile to be raised again. Within a decade, global conflict had once more caused the cessation of racing at Goodwood. After Eastern Echo won a replacement contest staged at Newmarket’s July Course in 1941, the Sussex Stakes was not held until 1946 when a golden era ensued.

The post-war years witnessed the ascendance of the Sussex Stakes as a premier mile championship event. In 1948, the Maharaja of Baroda’s My Babu, who had earlier won the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, became the first of eight horses since 1945 to win the first colts’ Classic and the Sussex Stakes in the same season.

The others to complete this famous double have been Palestine (1950), Brigadier Gerard (1971), Bolkonski (1975), Wollow (1976), Rock Of Gibraltar (2002), Henrythenavigator (2008) and Frankel (2011) - some of the best horses seen on British turf. Her Majesty The Queen owned the winner of the 1954 Sussex Stakes, Landau, who was ridden by Willie Snaith following the accident to Sir Gordon Richards which ended the leading jockey’s career 18 days earlier. Brigadier Gerard was one of the greatest horses to race in Britain. The Dick Hern-trained superstar was successful on 17 of his 18 career starts over three seasons, ranging from six furlongs to a mile and a half. Brigadier Gerard made all to win the 1971 Sussex Stakes comprehensively by five lengths.

More recently, Rock Of Gibraltar equalled the record of six consecutive G1 victories, set by Brigadier Gerard’s onetime rival Mill Reef, when defeating the previous year’s winner, Godolphin’s Noverre, in 2002. Four-year-olds were allowed to compete from 1960 and, after another 15 years, five-year-olds and upwards were also able to run in the Sussex Stakes. Le Levanstell, trained in Ireland by Seamus McGrath, became the first four-year-old to succeed in 1961, while the oldest winners have been six year-olds Noalcoholic (1983) and Court Masterpiece (2006).

Three fillies have won the 1000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes in the same season – On The

House (1982), Humble Duty (1970) and the great Petite Etoile, who, ridden by Lester Piggott, justified odds of 1-10 to beat five rivals in 1959.

Trained by Sir Noel Murless for Prince Aly Khan, the grey Petite Etoile had also won the Free Handicap and Oaks before Goodwood and later captured the Yorkshire Oaks, Champion Stakes and the Coronation Cup twice. She won a total of 14 races ranging in distance from five furlongs to a mile and a half.

Another superb filly, Marling, narrowly missed out in the 1992 1000 Guineas, but made no mistake in the Sussex Stakes later that summer. Lining up against the imposing figure of the previous year’s champion miler, Selkirk, the brilliant daughter of Marwell dug deep to repel her older rival at the end of one of the most thrilling duels a Goodwood crowd has ever witnessed.

Sayyedati, trained by Clive Brittain, took the Sussex Stakes in 1995, having landed the 1000 Guineas two years earlier. Sonic Lady, second in the 1000 Guineas, made amends in the 1986 Sussex Stakes, having already annexed the Irish 1000 Guineas, and subsequently won the Prix du Moulin.

Most of the best milers of recent years have landed the Sussex Stakes and the roll of honour also includes such greats as Kris (1979), Chief Singer (1984), Soviet Star (1987), Warning (1988), Zilzal (1989) Giant’s Causeway (2000), Rock Of Gibraltar (2002), and Frankel (2011 & 2012).

Godolphin’s Aljabr put up a tremendous front-running display in 1999 that resulted in the grey colt lowering the course record, while 2000 saw the “Iron Horse” Giant’s Causeway, trained by Aidan O’Brien, collect the third of five consecutive G1 wins that season.

Ramonti, owned by Godolphin, captured a thrilling renewal of the Sussex Stakes by a head from Excellent Art and gained four G1s in 2007 as well as finishing a close second in another two.

The 2008 winner Henrythenavigator replicated the feat of Rock Of Gibraltar in winning the English and Irish 2000 Guineas, St James’s Palace Stakes and Sussex Stakes in the same season. O’Brien, who trained both horses, was on target for a fourth time in the 2009 renewal when Rip Van

Winkle gained an impressive victory. Rip Van Winkle attempted a second triumph in 2010 but was no match for the Richard Hannon (snr) - trained three-year-old Canford Cliffs. The Irish 2000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes winner unleashed a scintillating burst of speed to win by a cheeky neck under Richard Hughes.

Canford Cliffs returned in 2011 for the ‘The Duel on the Downs’ with the unbeaten three-year-old Frankel taking him on. Frankel put up a brilliant performance, making all to beat Canford Cliffs impressively by five lengths and confirming his position as a horse completely out of the ordinary.

Frankel created history in 2012 by becoming the first horse to win the Qatar Sussex Stakes twice. Starting at odds of 1/20, the hottest-ever favourite in the race’s history, the amazing colt had little difficulty in going away from his closest rival Farhh by six lengths - a joint record winning distance.

Frankel retired at the end of 2012, having won all 14 of his starts and was given a rating of 140 in the World Thoroughbred Racehorse Rankings - the highest since the system was established in 1977.

Goodwood played host to another ‘Duel on the Downs’ in 2013 as three-year-olds Dawn Approach and Toronado squared up for a third time that year. The Jim Bolger-trained Dawn Approach had beaten his rival when winning both the QIPCO 2000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes, with only a short-head separating the pair at Royal Ascot.

But Toronado gained his revenge at Goodwood as Richard Hannon’s colt swooped from the rear under a typically audacious Richard Hughes ride to collar Dawn Approach near the line and prevail by half a length.

Frankel’s owner Khalid Abdullah was on the scoresheet again with Kingman in 2014. The John Gosden-trained colt produced his trademark burst of speed to mow down 2013 winner Toronado inside the final furlong. Kingman retired with seven victories from eight starts and was crowned Cartier’s Horse Of The Year.

Solow became the fifth French-trained horse to win the Sussex Stakes when

comfortably beating Arod in 2015 for trainer Freddy Head, whose father Alec sent out Venture VII to score in the same race in 1960. It was a fourth straight G1 win for the Maxime Guyon-ridden Solow, who had previously taken the Dubai Turf, Prix d’Ispahan and Queen Anne Stakes, and he went on to cement his place as Europe’s champion miler with victory in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.

The 2016 renewal saw a fifth victory for Aidan O’Brien when The Gurkha took the spoils from Galileo Gold. The pair had won the French and Newmarket 2,000 Guineas respectively earlier in the season and had met previously at Royal Ascot in the St James’s Palace Stakes, when it was Galileo Gold who triumphed. The Royal Ascot result was reversed in the Qatar Sussex Stakes when The Gurkha prevailed by a neck from Galileo Gold. Sadly, injury

meant The Gurkha never ran again although the rock-solid form of the race was upheld by the third Ribchester, progressed to win G1 contests at Deauville, Newbury, Royal Ascot and Chantilly in 2017.

The Andrew Balding-trained Here Comes When was a shock 20/1 winner of the 2017 Qatar Sussex Stakes, defeating 8/13 favourite Ribchester by a neck.

Sir Gordon Richards, with eight victories, has been the most successful jockey in the race’s history, enjoying his first win on Marconigram in 1928 and final one on Agitator in 1952. Richards, who was knighted in 1953, made the Sussex Stakes almost his own from 1946 through to 1952, winning the mile contest five times in seven runnings. Piggott and Pat Eddery each triumphed on six occasions.

Eddery’s first victory came aboard Posse in 1980 and further success followed with King’s Lake (1981), Warning (1988), Marling (1992) and Distant View (1994). The jockey had already decided to retire from race riding at the end of the 2003 season when he went to post aboard 20-1 shot Reel Buddy for that season’s Sussex Stakes. The unheralded outsider, the joint longest-priced horse to win the Sussex Stakes since 1946, provided the fairytale ending to a phenomenal riding career, swooping from last to first under a vintage Eddery ride to score by a head.

There have been 72 renewals since 1946 and 40 favourites have won, including eight of the last 10.

The Qatar Sussex Stakes is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series.

QATAR INTERNATIONAL STAKES (GROUP ONE PA)

£400,000, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 2018

FOR PUREBRED ARABIANS. FOUR-YEAR-OLDS & UPWARDS. ONE MILE. FIRST RUN 2015.

The G1 Qatar International Stakes for Purebred Arabians was run for the first

time at Goodwood in 2015, following the sponsorship deal which created the Qatar Goodwood Festival, and is the first leg of the Doha Triple Crown.

The Doha Triple Crown was initiated in 2015 and the other two races are the Qatar Arabian World Cup (G1PA, 1m 2f), run at Chantilly, France, in October and the HH Emir’s Sword (G1PA, 1m 4f) in Doha, Qatar, in February.

This series links together three of the most prestigious international Arabian races and has a US$1,000,000 bonus to any horse who can win them all.

The overall prize fund for the Qatar International Stakes is £400,000, with

£200,000 to the winner. The Qatar International Stakes moved from the Saturday of the Qatar Goodwood Festival to the Wednesday in 2017.

French challenger Sir Bani Yas came with a strong run to land the inaugural Qatar International Stakes in 2015 for owner Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nayhan, trainer Elizabeth Bernard and jockey Jean- Bernard Eyquem.

The five-year-old won the 10-furlong Qatar Derby at Chantilly, France, in 2014 and his assured stamina came into play as he snatched victory from Prada T in the shadow of the post, with favourite Mister Ginoux, carrying the colours of Al Shaqab Racing, a close third.

Prada T was second again in 2016 as Al Mourtajez, the highest-rated Purebred Arabian racehorse in the world at the time, ran out a facile eight-length winner for Al Shaqab Racing, French trainer Thomas Fourcy and jockey Julien Auge.

Al Mourtajez followed up with another impressive display in the Qatar Arabian World Cup at Chantilly, but failed in his bid for the Doha Triple Crown when third to Ebraz in the HH Emir’s Sword.

Tayf, trained in Qatar by Alban de Mieulle, registered a thrilling nose victory under Olivier Peslier over the French-trained Ebraz, partnered by Alan Munro, in the 2017 renewal on soft going.

As with several of the fiercely competitive handicaps at the Qatar

Goodwood Festival, winners of this race often go on to make their mark in Pattern races.

The 1987 victor, Broken Hearted, added the then G2 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury the following spring before finishing a close second to the brilliant Mtoto in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Macaw’s victory in 2002 prompted a transatlantic sale and the gelding twice finished runner-up in the highest class before winning a G3 at Keeneland. Tiber (2003) and Art Trader (2004) both

continued their careers with G3 victories in Hong Kong.

The William Muir-trained Enforcer (2005) was another to clinch G3 success and he also reached the frame in three G1 races during 2006.

The 2007 winner Pipedreamer made the frame in a G1 before winning G2 contests in both 2008 and 2009. Indian Days scored for James Given in 2008 and won a Turkish G2 in 2010 as well as the G3 John Porter Stakes in 2011.

The 2012 victor Grandeur, trained by Jeremy Noseda, subsequently raced in the US, with G2 victories at Santa Anita and

Hollywood Park, while he was also second in the G1 Hollywood Derby.

The 2016 edition saw a local success, with You’re Hired coming home in front for Pulborough-based trainer Amanda Perrett. It was Perrett’s second success in the race following Art Trader in 2004. The David Simcock-trained Good Omen landed last year’s renewal under Jamie Spencer.

Mark Johnston has the best record of any trainer with six victories, most recently when Lyn Valley led home a one-two for his Yorkshire stables in 2014.

Out of the 56 favourites, 16 have won.

*Lindoro was beaten ¾l by Red Rufus, but the latter was disqualified and placed last after a stewards’ enquiry.

This race was introduced to the Goodwood programme in 2003 as the

Gladness Stakes, a Listed contest named after the 1958 Goodwood Cup winner, and the Rae Guest-trained Moments Of Joy won from nine rivals by coming from last to first.

The following year the 14-furlong contest was upgraded to G3 status and called the Lillie Langtry Stakes after the famous actress and mistress of the future Edward VII.

The race has been further upgraded to G2 status for the 2018 renewal, with prize money tripled to £300,000. The follows the decision of the European Pattern Committee to enhance the programme for stayers.

In 2004, Astrocharm beat Pongee who went on to run second in the G1 Yorkshire Oaks. Tartouche, trained near Arundel by Lady Herries, won by a length in 2005 and followed up in 2006 in a tighter finish, prevailing by neck.

The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Hi Calypso came from last to first as she gained victory in 2007, before beating All My Loving in the G2 Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster.

Gravitation and Folk Opera provided a treat in 2008 as they duelled to the line from fully two furlongs out. The William Jarvis-trained Gravitation nailed her rival in the final stride to clinch a hard-fought success. The runner-up subsequently triumphed in the G1 E P Taylor Stakes at Woodbine, Canada.

The Mark Johnston-trained Eastern Aria won in 2010 and went on to add Doncaster’s G2 Park Hill Stakes to her list of successes.

Wild Coco also followed up success in this race with victory in the Park Hill Stakes next time out before returning in 2013 to claim a second Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes. She was trained by Sir Henry Cecil in 2012 and by his widow, Lady Jane Cecil the following year.

Missunited became the first Irish-trained winner in 2014 when repelling all challengers gamely to score for Michael Winters and Jim Crowley.

Simple Verse, successful in 2015 for Ralph Beckett and Harry Bentley, is the best winner of the Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes, having gone on to G1 success in both the final British Classic, the St Leger at Doncaster, and the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes at Ascot.

The 2016 renewal went to four-year-old California for owners Denford Stud, trainer John Gosden and jockey Rab Havlin. The Charlie Appleby-trained Endless Time landed a thrilling renewal of the 2017 edition as he defeated Sir Michael Stoute’s Dubka by a neck, with a further neck back to Ralph Beckett’s Melodic Motion in third.

Four of the 15 favourites have succeeded. Seb Sanders and Tom Queally have each partnered the winner on three occasions.

The sixth Duke of Richmond gave his family name to this race in the days

when future Classic winners were more precocious than they are now. It was appropriate then that a horse named Duke Of Richmond won the Richmond Stakes in 1883. Plenty of future stars have won this prestigious contest, such as the St Leger and Ascot Gold Cup hero Bayardo (1908), as well as five Derby winners, Bend Or (1879), Persimmon (1895), Pommern (1914) Manna (1924), and the Aga Khan’s 1935 victor, the subsequent Triple Crown winner Mahmoud. Palestine triumphed in 1949 and progressed to win the 2000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes in 1950.

Nowadays, sharp types and future sprinters tend to win the Qatar Richmond Stakes and the downhill six-furlong track a Goodwood puts the emphasis on speed. Having said that, the Guy Harwood-trained Warning took the spoils in 1987 and progressed the following season to win the G1 Qatar Sussex Stakes back at Glorious Goodwood and the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot, boh over a mile.

Bachir was successful in 1999 and he went on to capture both the French and Irish 2000 Guineas for Godolphin the following year. The 2000 winner, Endless Summer, was subsequently disqualified when it came to light that he was actually a three-year-

old, having been foaled on December 26, 1997, and not January 2, 1998, as registered.

Trainer Richard Hannon snr and jockey Richard Hughes teamed up to win the race four successive times between 2008 and 2011, with subsequent dual G1 winner Dick Turpin taking the 2009 renewal.

Richard Hannon jnr, in his first season as the licence holder, gained more glory for the family when saddling the smart Ivawood, again ridden by Hughes, to victory in 2014. Hannon jnr was on the mark again in 2016, with the Al Shaqab Racing-owned Mehmas.

The impressive winner in 2015, the John Gosden-trained Shalaa, ended the season as Europe’s second best juvenile following successes in two G1 races, the Prix Morny at Deauville and the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket.

The Brian Meehan-trained Barraquero won well in 2017, having previously bolted up by six lengths in a Chepstow contest.

Lester Piggott partnered six winners of the race during his illustrious career. A total of 33 of the 72 market leaders since 1946 have come home in front.

in the Nassau Stakes. She became the only horse to win four British Classics when capturing the St Leger that September.

While Sceptre had been kept very busy around the racecourses of England to prove her mettle, Pretty Polly enjoyed a career more becoming a champion filly. She lined up for the 1904 Nassau Stakes the winner of the 1000 Guineas, Oaks and Coronation Stakes, and was sent off the 1/33 favourite. She remains the shortest-priced winner in Nassau Stakes’ history and emulated Sceptre in adding the St Leger to her famous triumphs.

Racing at Goodwood did not take place during the war years of 1914-18 and 1940- 45. Upon the resumption of the sport at the course following the Second World War in 1946, Wayward Belle won the Nassau Stakes for Jack Jarvis and jockey Eph Smith. It was Lester Piggott, however, successful five times, along with trainers Sir Noel Murless, Sir Michael Stoute and Sir Henry Cecil, who would come to dominate the post-war roll of honour. Murless, with six wins, and Piggott joined forces to secure victory with Aunt Edith (1965) who also triumphed in the Prix Vermeille, Yorkshire Cup and King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

In the decade after Aunt Edith, the Nassau Stakes, while still a race of some consequence, was not producing the same

calibre of winners as in its heyday. Racing was already on the cusp of evolving into a global sport and the Goodwood executive, imbued with foresight, sensed the need for a change if the Nassau Stakes was to maintain its standing.

1975 thus marked the moment when the race was opened to older fillies and mares, yet the Classic generation still prevailed thanks to the three-year-old, Roussalka, ridden by Piggott and trained by Cecil. The filly returned in 1976 and created history when she became the first four-year-old to win the race as well as becoming the first dual winner.

Park Express in 1986, trained by Jim Bolger, was the first Irish raider to succeed in the Nassau Stakes. She went on to produce the 2008 Derby winner and leading stallion New Approach, also trained by Bolger.

The Nassau Stakes continued to be dominated by three-year-olds up to the turn of the century with the monopoly only broken by the four-year-old Free Guest (1985) and two-time winner Ruby Tiger (1991 - by seven lengths - & 1992) – owned by sculptor and former jump jockey Philip Blacker - who also tasted major success in the G1 E P Taylor Stakes at Woodbine, Canada. The older generation enjoyed a hold on the race from 2004 through to 2006 as the four-year-olds Favourable Terms

(2004) and Alexander Goldrun (2005), as well as the five-year-old Ouija Board (2006), succeeded.

Favourable Terms was a third consecutive winner of the race for trainer Sir Michael Stoute (and seventh in all) and jockey Kieren Fallon, who previously teamed up for success with Islington (2002) and Russian Rhythm (2003). Islington twice won the G1 Yorkshire Oaks and also captured the G1 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf in 2003.

Many a thrilling spectacle has played out on the racecourse beneath Trundle Hill, but the 2006 Nassau Stakes was surely one of the most breathtaking in the racecourse’s long history. Bolger’s mare Alexander Goldrun, a G1 winner in France, Britain, Ireland and Hong Kong, had won the previous year’s Nassau Stakes and returned to defend her crown against another global star, the Ed Dunlop-trained Ouija Board. Both mares arrived at Goodwood seeking a sixth career G1 victory, Ouija Board having proven herself as a Classic-winning Breeders’ Cup heroine.

None who witnessed the scintillating final three furlongs of the 2006 Nassau Stakes will ever forget Ouija Board’s brave strike for home off the turn into the straight; Alexander Goldrun’s smooth progress to narrowly lead; Lord Derby’s mare drawing on her deepest reserves to edge level; and the

FROM GROUP TWO TO GROUP ONE IN 1999).

Established in 1840, the Nassau Stakes was named in recognition of the

friendship between the fifth Duke of Richmond and the Dutch Royal Family, the House of Orange and Nassau. The race was restricted to three-year-old fillies for the first 135 years of its existence and was granted G1 status in 1999, acknowledging the fact that the near 10-furlong contest had regained the prestige it enjoyed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, thanks to the victories of top-class winners throughout the 1990s such as Ruby Tiger, Last Second, Ryafan and Alborada.

The contest moved to the Thursday of the Qatar Goodwood Festival in 2017, having previously been staged on the Saturday. The switch ensured the best possible ground was available for the G1 race and created a focus on fillies’ races that day, complimenting the ambience of Ladies’ Day.

The early runnings of the Nassau Stakes were dominated by fillies owned by Lord George Bentinck and his friends, including George Payne and Charles Greville, who once wrote of Bentinck: “He feared no one and did nothing by halves.” Bentinck was forced to run his own horses in the colours of friends because his father, the fourth Duke of Portland, strongly disapproved of his son’s heavy gambling.

As the Nassau Stakes gained in popularity, many star fillies of the 19th century triumphed. One such champion to display her prowess was the brilliant Thebais. Trained at Manton by ‘Old Alec’ Taylor, a man reputed to give his yearlings a two-mile gallop before Christmas, Thebais had already taken the 1000 Guineas and Oaks, before winning at Goodwood in 1881.

La Flèche’s accomplishments leave no doubt as to her brilliance. Successful in the 1000 Guineas and Oaks - terrible jockeyship cost her the Derby - the great filly triumphed at Goodwood in 1892 and subsequently won the St Leger, Cambridgeshire, Champion Stakes and Gold Cup at Ascot.

Within the span of two years, the fates bestowed upon racing two supreme champion fillies in Sceptre and Pretty Polly. The former began the 1902 campaign in the Lincoln Handicap, finishing second, before winning the 1000 Guineas, 2000 Guineas and Oaks. She also came fourth in the Derby, was unplaced in the Grand Prix de Paris, won the St James’s Palace Stakes and took fourth in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, before owner/trainer Bob Sievier sent her to Glorious Goodwood. Sceptre was beaten in the Sussex Stakes, but stepped out later in the week to take victory

moment Ouija Board eyeballed her brave rival into submission. The redoubtable Ouija Board flashed home by a short-head following the most spectacular Goodwood head-to-head since Marling held Selkirk in the 1992 Sussex Stakes. It was the fourth victory by a short-head since 1945, with the other narrow winners being Hortentia (1952), Lucyrowe (1969), and Favourable Terms (2004).

Newmarket trainer Sir Mark Prescott gained two wins in three years. He saddled Last Second, owned by Faisal Salman and bred by Kirsten Rausing, to win in 1996, and in 1998 Miss Rausing’s Alborada, out of a half-sister to Last Second, was successful, before going on to capture the Champion Stakes at Newmarket.

In 2000 this prestigious contest was won by the Clive Brittain-trained Crimplene, gaining her third G1 success of the season after having won the Irish 1000 Guineas and Royal Ascot’s Coronation Stakes.

Ed Dunlop, son of late Goodwood Racecourse director and trainer John, saddled his first G1 winner at the course with Lailani in 2001. The Unfuwain filly was achieving her sixth success of the campaign, including the G1 Irish Oaks, and she went on to complete a hat-trick of G1 wins in the Flower Bowl Invitational at Belmont Park, USA, in September.

Champion Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien sent out Irish Oaks heroine Peeping Fawn to win the 2007 Nassau Stakes and added a further victory in 2008 when Irish 1000 Guineas winner Halfway To Heaven saw off another Bolger-trained star, Lush Lashes, by a head in a thrilling finish.

The 2009 renewal was another special one, with Midday overcoming nine opponents to win well by two and a half lengths under

Tom Queally. It was a return to big-time success at Goodwood for trainer Sir Henry Cecil, celebrating his first Nassau Stakes victory since Lyphard’s Delta in 1993.

Midday went on to win the G1 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita, USA and returned to Goodwood for the 2010 Nassau Stakes, for which she was the 15-8 favourite. Khalid Abdullah’s homebred won in thrilling fashion as, sent into the lead two furlongs out, she idled and drifted in front, allowing the previous year’s Prix de Diane heroine Stacelita to overhaul her inside the final furlong. But Midday, a true champion, rallied gamely under Queally to assert by a cosy length and a quarter. The stewards’ enquiry, which left the placings unaltered, was the first-ever to be televised live. Midday added the Yorkshire Oaks and Prix Vermeille to her haul before finishing a close second in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf.

History was made on the final day of Glorious Goodwood 2011 as Midday became the first filly or mare to win the Qatar-sponsored Nassau Stakes for the third time. Trained by Cecil, who was winning the race for a record eighth time, and ridden again by Queally, the 6-4 favourite surged clear inside the final two furlongs to see off dual Oaks winner Snow Fairy by two lengths.

Despite Midday being retired, the Abdullah/Cecil/Queally combination almost made it four in a row in 2012 when Timepiece was runner-up to The Fugue, trained by John Gosden and ridden by Richard Hughes for owners Lord and Lady Lloyd-Webber.

Gosden doubled up with 20-1 shot Winsili in 2013 and completed a remarkable hattrick in 2014 when Sultanina got the better of French raider Narniyn. William Buick partnered both of those winners.

The Qatar Nassau Stakes went to Ireland in 2015, with the admirably tough Legatissimo coming two and a half lengths clear to justify 2-1 favouritism. The David Wachman-trained three-year-old had earlier won the QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and went on to land the G1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on Irish Champions Weekend. She was the second highest-rated European-trained three-year-old filly of 2015.

There was another tremendous renewal in 2016 when three-year-old Minding was successful, handing Aidan O’Brien a third victory. The remarkable Minding was winning her fourth G1 of the season, having already taken the 1,000 Guineas, Oaks and Pretty Polly Stakes.

She went on to defeat the colts when dropping back to a mile for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot in the autumn and was named Horse of the Year at the annual Cartier Racing Awards. Second in the race was Queen’s Trust, who further franked the form when going on to land the G1 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita.

O’Brien registered back-to-back successes and his fourth Qatar Nassau Stakes victory overall in the 2017 renewal courtesy of the marvellous Winter. The three-year-old daughter of Galileo, had already plundered the QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, Irish 1000 Guineas at Curragh and the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot all over a mile. Stepped up to 10 furlongs at Goodwood, Winter duly delivered with an authoritative success under Ryan Moore.

The market leader has won 29 times in the 72 runnings since 1946.

This race was staged as the Alycidon Stakes, in honour of the Goodwood

Cup hero of 1949 and stayers’ Triple Crown winner, from 1979 until 1988 – starting out as a conditions race before being given Listed status in 1985.

It became the Glorious Stakes in 1989 before turning into a limited handicap

in 1993 (weights 8st 7lb to 9st 7lb with a rating band of 0-105 – 0-110 from 1994) for older horses. The contest immediately attracted a double figure field of runners for the first time. It reverted to being a conditions event in 2004 and was promoted to G3 status in 2008.

The Mark Johnston-trained Darasim won three times at Glorious Goodwood. After taking this race in 2002 and another handicap in 2003, he gained his biggest triumph in the Goodwood Cup of 2004.

Alkaased (2004) was one of the best winners of the Glorious Stakes, going on to capture

Mamool enjoyed G1 success prior to winning this race in 2006, while the 2007 winner Purple Moon went agonisingly close as runner-up in that year’s Melbourne Cup and the 2008 Hong Kong Vase, both G1 contests.

The 2008 victor Sixties Icon, successful in the St Leger two years previously, had a liking for Goodwood as that was his third course victory.

Illustrious Blue is another horse who thrived at Goodwood, recording his sixth course success in the 2009 Glorious Stakes.

The locally-trained horse subsequently made it seven when winning the 2010 Goodwood Cup.

Redwood won well in 2010 and progressed to capture a Canadian G1 race, while the 2014 victor Pether’s Moon lowered the colours of Dolniya and Flintshire in the G1 Coronation Cup at Epsom in 2015.

Dubday, owned by Al Shaqab Racing and trained by Jassim Al Ghazali, created history in 2015 when he became the first Qatari-trained horse to win in Britain.

Newmarket trainer Sir Michael Stoute has won the last two runnings of the Glorious Stakes - in 2016 with Kings Fete – and gained

his fifth victory in the 12-furlong contest when Poet’s Word was the impressive length and a half scorer in the 2017 renewal under Ryan Moore. Poet’s Word went on to finish second in the both the G1 Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown and the G1 QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot last season. He won the G1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2018.

Fellow Newmarket trainer Luca Cumani has sent out seven Glorious Stakes winners - Knockando (1987), Hajade (1990), Midnight Legend (1995), Alkaased (2004), Purple Moon (2007), Drunken Sailor (2011) and Quest For Peace (2012).

This race was previously a conditions contest, initially called the Surplice

Stakes in 1986.

Great Dane proved a worthy winner of the inaugural running of the Listed Thoroughbred Stakes in 1998. That victory commenced a five-race winning sequence for the horse that spilled over into the following year and culminated with success in a G2 contest at the Curragh, Ireland.

Adilabad, who twice won the G3 Winter Hill Stakes at Windsor, scored here from Summoner in 2000. The runner-up caused a major upset the next season when winning Ascot’s G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at 33-1. Another to go on and win that prestigious Ascot contest was Where Or When, the 2002 victor.

The Goodwood race continued its tradition of showcasing top talent in 2003 when Court Masterpiece landed the spoils. He returned to Goodwood in 2005, winning the Lennox Stakes, before enjoying his biggest triumph when defeating Soviet Song to win the G1 Sussex Stakes in 2006.

River Proud, third previously in the French equivalent of the 2000 Guineas, succeeded in 2008 from Godolphin’s Alexandros. Zacinto made his seasonal reappearance in the 2009 renewal, winning by a head under Ryan Moore and then returned to Goodwood a month later to finish second in the G2 Celebration Mile, only to be subsequently awarded the race after Delegator failed a drug test.

The Thoroughbred Stakes was promoted to G3 status in 2012, when there was a thrilling dead-heat between the Brian Meehan-trained Archbishop and Richard Hannon’s Trumpet Major.

Hannon snr scored again in 2013 with Jersey Stakes runner-up Montiridge, his third and final success after sending out Forward Move to victory in 2005.

The Andrew Balding-trained Beat The Bank was an easy three-length winner of the 2017 renewal and went on to plunder the G2 Shadwell Joel Stakes at Newmarket in September by five lengths.

Five of the 20 favourites have won, including the last two.

The Unibet Golden Mile is one of the top handicaps of the season and, with

a prize fund of £150,000, it remains among the richest handicaps in Europe.

Waajib was a fine winner of the inaugural running - called the Schweppes Golden Mile - as he went on to win the then G2 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot the following year.

Safawan stepped up from his 1989 win to take the then G2 Lockinge Stakes in 1990, while Fly To The Stars won at Goodwood in 1997 and landed the Lockinge - by then a G1 – in 1999.

Ancient World became notable in 2004 as he was the first favourite to win at 9-2. The four-year-old, owned by Godolphin and trained by Saeed bin Suroor, enhanced the contest’s reputation with a G3 victory at Windsor followed by a deserved triumph in the G1 Premio Vittorio Di Capua in Italy that autumn.

The second market leader to win was 5-2 chance Third Set who scored by three lengths in 2007, the first of two consecutive winners sent out by trainer Roger Charlton.

Fifteen Love (2008) had already captured the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot in June, 2008, and clinched a major handicap double when winning the Goodwood race.

Mark Johnston emulated that feat when he saddled back-to-back winners with Laa Rayb (2009) and subsequent G3 victor Sea Lord (2010). Johnston is by far the most successful trainer in the Golden Mile’s history with five victories, having also been successful in 1997 with Fly To The Stars, in 2001 with Riberac and in 2012 with Fulbright, who subsequently captured the G2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket.

In 2011, Hayley Turner, Britain’s leading female jockey, made all on the Marcus Tregoning-trained Boom And Bust to gain her first and only Glorious Goodwood success.

Richard Hannon snr, in his final year as a trainer, mended a gap in his CV by taking the spoils with Wentworth in 2013, while Red Avenger, trained by Ed Dunlop, emerged in front after a five-way photo-finish in 2014.

The 2015 running saw the consistent Belgian Bill, winner of the 2013 Royal Hunt Cup, gain another major handicap success after the subsequent disqualification of the first past the post So Beloved. As a seven-year-old, Belgian Bill became the oldest winner of the Golden Mile.

Franklin D was the shortest-priced Golden Mile winner in 2016. Starting the 7-4 favourite in a field of 19, the Michael Bell-trained four-year-old was a popular victor when holding on by a head from the fast-finishing Master The World.

The David Elsworth-trained Master The World made amends in the 2017 renewal with a comfortable three-quarter length success under Ryan Moore.

The age profile of the winners has been 3yo - 8; 4yo - 11; 5yo - 9; 6yo - 2 and 7yo - 1. Only three of the 31 market leaders have triumphed.

A showcase for raw speed, this prestigious sprint was introduced in

1911 to mark the previous year’s succession of King George V to the British throne. The G2 King George Qatar Stakes is Goodwood’s top sprint and in 2002 was named the King George 200th Anniversary Stakes to celebrate 200 years of racing at Goodwood.

Sir Gordon Richards rode the winner in six consecutive seasons from 1947 to 1952, including on the great Abernant in both 1949 and 1950.

Right Boy and Lester Piggott emulated Abernant’s feat in 1958 and 1959, while the brilliant mare Lochsong defeated Paris House in a thrilling finish to the 1993 renewal and saw off Mistertopogigo 12 months later. Lochsong won the G1 Prix de l’Abbaye at Longchamp in both of those years.

Another talented mare, Hever Golf Rose, triumphed in 1995 and capped a tremendous season with victory in the Prix de l’Abbaye.

Fillies and mares are etched into the folklore of the King George Qatar Stakes, with Land Of Dreams (1998), Cassandra Go (2000), Agnetha (2002), La Cucaracha (2006) and Ortensia (2012) also beating the boys in recent years.

Soba, ridden by the late Dandy Nicholls, succeeded in 1983, the year after her victory in the Stewards’ Cup, while Enticing continued the trend in 2008 as the William Haggas-trained filly scored by a length.

Kingsgate Native, a dual G1 winner, was most impressive when successful in 2009, beating Total Gallery who subsequently captured the G1 Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp.

The race was promoted to G2 status for 2010, when Borderlescott, successful in the 2006 Stewards’ Cup and twice victorious in the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes (2008 & 2009), landed the prize for Yorkshire trainer Robin Bastiman as the 9-2 favourite. Borderlescott ran at the Qatar Goodwood Festival eight times in all.

Another Northern trainer, Kevin Ryan, went onto the scoreboard in 2011 when he sent out Masamah to win in great style. Ahonoora (1978/1979), trained by former jockey Frankie Durr, was the only other horse, apart from Soba, to achieve back-to-back Stewards’ Cup/King George Stakes doubles since the Second World War.

In 2012, Ortensia became the first Australian-trained horse to win at Goodwood when showing a devastating turn of foot. A G1 scorer in her homeland and in Dubai, the Paul Messara-trained mare went on to land the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York.

Harry Redknapp was in the winners’ enclosure in 2013 as an owner courtesy of Moviesta, who became the first three-year-old to triump since Irish raider Agnetha in 2002. Moviesta, trained in Yorkshire by Bryan Smart, failed by a neck and short-head when third in 2014 to Take Cover, who provided another Yorkshire-based trainer, David Griffiths, with his biggest success.

Take Cover returned in 2015 to defend his crown and ran a game race to go down by a head to Muthmir. In 2016, Take Cover made history by becoming the seventh horse to win the King George Qatar Stakes twice and the first to do so in non-consecutive years as he triumphed by a neck from Washington DC - he was also the oldest winner in the post-war period as a nine-year-old.

The Charlie Hills-trained Battaash was an impressive two and a quarter-length winner under Jim Crowley in 2017, the horse’s third victory in succession that year. Fourth behind Marsha in the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes at York in August, the four-year-old son of Dark Angel was an impressive four-length winner of the G1 Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp on his final start of the season. He earned a rating of 123 in the 2017 LONGINES World’s Best Racehorse Rankings of 2017, the best of any horse campaigned exclusively over five furlongs.

Lester Piggott partnered an amazing nine winners of this race between 1958 and 1984. Sir Michael Stoute sent out his third winner in 2009 and is catching up to Paddy Prendergast’s achievement of training four victors. Luca Cumani, David Griffiths and William Haggas have both trained two winners.

The age of the winners since 1946 has been 3yo - 31; 4yo - 20; 5yo - 11; 6yo - 6; 7yo - 2; 8yo - 1; 9yo -1, while 27 out of the 72 markets leaders have triumphed.

The L’Ormarins Queens Plate (Oak Tree Stakes) started life as the New Stand

Stakes in 1980 and was the first race of that year’s Glorious Goodwood to mark the opening of the new March Grandstand by Her Majesty The Queen.

From 1982, it has been known as the Oak Tree Stakes, so named because of the close link between Goodwood and the Oak Tree Racing Association of California, which used to stage an annual race meeting at Santa Anita Park, including the Goodwood Stakes, but for the last few years has not been involved at a major US racecourse. A new connection was established in 2014 with L’Ormarins, sponsors of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Stakes at Kenilworth Racecourse in Cape Town, South Africa each January.

The race, for fillies and mares, moved to the Friday of Glorious Goodwood in 2003 and was upgraded to G3 from Listed status the following year when Chic finished third to Phantom Wind. Chic went on to win the Celebration Mile at Goodwood four weeks later and captured that G2 prize again in 2004.

Majestic Desert had knocked on the door several times in G1 races without success and gained a deserved victory in the 2005 renewal. Red Evie, on the other hand, secured her sixth straight victory when taking the 2006 running and progressed to win a pair of G1 races.

The 2008 winner Visit switched to racing in America later that year and finished in the frame in nine G1 races, including four times at Santa Anita.

Chachamaidee was the impressive scorer for trainer Sir Henry Cecil – his sixth victory - in 2011, winning by two and three quarter lengths under Tom Queally. She went on to land the G1 Matron Stakes thefollowing season.

Newmarket trainer Jeremy Noseda recorded his first win in the race in 2012 with Regal Realm, while the 2013 winner Annecdote was also a first Glorious Goodwood success for trainer Jonathan Portman. The 2014 scorer J Wonder subsequently raced in America.

There was a shock 33/1 winner in 2015 when Amy Eria, owned by Al Shaqab Racing, scored for French trainer Francois Rohaut and jockey Gregory Benoist.

Remarkably the very same owner, trainer and jockey returned to win again in 2016, this time with 12/1 chance Al Jazi, who registered back-to-back successes in the L’Ormarins Queens Plate Stakes in the 2017 renewal, delivering a potent turn of foot under Frankie Dettori to provide owners Al Shaqab Racing and trainer Francois Rohaut with a third straight success in the seven-furlong event.

Steve Cauthen partnered four scorers – the highest number by any jockey.

Success has gone to 12 of the 38 market leaders in the L’Ormarins Queens Plate Stakes.

Yorkshire-based trainer Mark Johnston has won this 14-furlong handicap five

times, with Scott’s View setting the ball rolling in 2002. The tough performer added a second Glorious Goodwood handicap four days later and was subsequently G1 placed in Hong Kong.

Darasim finished second to his stable companion in 2002 but gained compensation in the Glorious Stakes three days later and won this race in 2003. In 2004, the remarkable gelding progressed to capture the Qatar Goodwood Cup.

Johnston saddled Golden Quest to succeed in 2005 and the four-year-old ran second in

the Goodwood Cup later that week. He was also on the mark in 2015 with 20-1 chance Blue Wave who came out best in a thrilling finish, while Soldier In Action was a head winner of the 2017 renewal, getting up in the final strides under Silvestre de Sousa.

Luca Cumani also has a fine record in this handicap. The Newmarket handler saddled subsequent Ebor hero Mephisto to win in 2004, while Soulacroix prevailed in 2006 and top-weight Sanbuch scored in 2008.

Motivado won easily in 2012 for Sir Mark Prescott and progressed to capture a G3 in Australia. Harris Tweed took the spoils in 2013 with a fine front-running performance

and subsequently went down by a nose in the G2 QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup on British Champions Day at Ascot.

Elidor handed trainer Mick Channon a first win in the race in 2016 and progressed to score in Listed company in 2017.

Previously run in the opening day, the Qatar Summer Handicap moved to the Saturday in 2017.

The age breakdown of winners has been 3yo - 2; 4yo - 9; 5yo - 7; 6yo - 2; 7yo – 1, while six of the 21 favourites have won.

The Qatar Gordon Stakes is an excellent St Leger trial and a race

with a rich heritage. Goodwood House is the traditional English seat of the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, with Gordon Castle his Scottish retreat.

This previously extinct Dukedom was revived by Queen Victoria in 1876 in favour of the Richmond family, and the race, instigated in 1902, was named accordingly.

The race moves to the Saturday in 2017 after being staged previously on the Wednesday. Open to three-year-olds and upwards for the first running in 1902, it has been restricted to three year-olds from 1903 onwards.

In recent times, Commanche Run (1984), Minster Son (1988), Nedawi (1998), Millenary (2000), Sixties Icon (2006) and the 2008 victor Conduit have all added the final British Classic of the season, the G1 St Leger at Doncaster, to an earlier Gordon Stakes victory.

Conduit held Donegal in a thrilling finish to the 2008 Goodwood race and, after his St Leger triumph, the colt swept to victory in the G1 Breeders’ Cup Turf in America as well as landing the G1 King George VI &

Queen Elizabeth Stakes. His first Breeders’ Cup success in 2008 clinched an Eclipse Award as the top turf horse to have raced in the US that year.

Phoenix Reach, successful in 2003, also enjoyed international G1 honours as he triumphed in the Hong Kong Vase, Dubai Sheema Classic and Canadian International.

A thrilling finish in 2012 saw Noble Mission, a full-brother to the outstanding Frankel, prevail by a nose from Encke. The runner-up went on to take the St Leger at Doncaster in the September, denying Camelot the Triple Crown in the process, while Noble Mission progressed to win three G1 prizes as a five-year-old, including the Champion Stakes.

Highland Reel followed up his success in the 2015 Gordon Stakes with victory in the G1 Secretariat Stakes in the USA. The Aidan O’Brien-trained colt continued to excel, winning the G1 Hong Kong Vase (twice), G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes, G1 Breeders’ Cup Turf, G1 Coronation Cup and G1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes in a glittering career.

Sir Michael Stoute is the trainer with by far the best record in the Gordon Stakes,

achieving his ninth success in 2016 with Ulysses, who went on to capture the G1 Coral-Eclipse Stakes in 2017. Ulysses plundered the G1 Juddmonte International at York in August, 2016 before finishing a fine third to Enable in the G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Chantilly in October.

The Newmarket handler’s top winner has been Harbinger, who was rated the best horse in the world in 2010 on the back of brilliant 11 lengths success in the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.

Stoute registered a record 10th winner in the 2017 Qatar Gordon Stakes courtesy of Crystal Ocean’s impressive three and a half-length victory under Ryan Moore. Crystal Ocean finished a fine half-length second to the Aidan O’Brien-trained Capri in the G1 William Hill St Leger at Doncaster.

The 12 runners in the 1996 running was the highest number of horses to participate in the race’s history.

There have been 30 winning favourites out of the 72 runnings since 1946, the latest being the 2017 winner Crystal Ocean, who scored at 6/4.

The first official staging of the Stewards’ Cup took place in 1840, but the name

actually dates back to 1834 when the senior of the two stewards officiating at Goodwood awarded a cup worth about £100 to any race of his choosing. The chosen race varied year on year, with the Cup being contested over distances ranging from six furlongs to a mile and a half.

Lord George Bentinck conceived the idea of a competitive sprint handicap, largely as a betting medium, in late 1839. So in 1840

the six-furlong Stewards’ Cup, as it is now known, was born.

Epirus, owned by John Bowes, made the long journey from John Scott’s Malton yard in Yorkshire worthwhile as he won the 1840 race under the trainer’s brother William, who had a fondness for the bottle and was frequently so drunk that he was unfit to ride.

By 1849, the race already carried £300 of the total £860 added prize money at the

meeting. The Stewards’ Cup still retains its position as one of the most prestigious and valuable handicaps of the season. The first German-bred winner of the Stewards’ Cup (predating a French-bred victory on English soil by three years) was Count Hahn’s Turnus, who triumphed in 1850. He defied a penalty to add the Chesterfield Cup at the meeting two days later.

Sweetsauce won the Stewards’ Cup at 20-1 in 1860 and just two days later was victorious in the Goodwood Cup

over a stamina-sapping two miles and five furlongs.

In 1883, the previous year’s Oaks heroine Geheimniss led the field approaching the winning post, only to be denied a head by Sir George Chetwynd’s Hornpipe who got up in the final stride to land a major gamble. Another Classic winner was defeated in 1899 when Northern Farmer finished a neck in front of the 1898 1000 Guineas winner Nun Nicer.

There have been three dual winners in the history of the Stewards’ Cup. Marvel scored in 1890 and 1892, while Lord Annandale triumphed in 1913 and shared the spoils in a dead-heat the following year with Golden Sun. Sky Diver was victorious in successive years, 1967 and 1968.

The dead-heat between Golden Sun and Lord Annandle is the only time the spoils have been shared. The outbreak of the First World War saw the race transferred to Newmarket from 1915 to 1917 and not run at all in 1918. The Second World War also halted racing at Goodwood and the 1940 race was abandoned with the following year’s renewal also staged at Newmarket. Windsor hosted a version of the Stewards’ Cup from 1942 to 1945.

The post-war crowds flocked to Goodwood for the Stewards’ Cup of 1947, so much so that Sir Noel Murless, then training at Hambleton in Yorkshire, made the long journey south only to find his horsebox stuck in traffic on the narrow lanes at Singleton, just to the north of the course. Gwen Murless, the trainer’s quick-thinking wife, unloaded their big-race hope, Closeburn, and jogged him the two miles to the course just in time to saddle him for the Stewards’ Cup.

The Murless charge, carrying a then record weight for a three-year-old of 8st 10lb, prevailed by a neck under Gordon Richards. Twelve years later, Sir Winston Churchill was rewarded when Tudor Monarch carried his pink and chocolate colours to victory under a youthful Geoff Lewis.

Spillers was the first commercial sponsor of the Stewards’ Cup from 1970, when Lester Piggott partnered Jukebox to victory, until 1980. The 1981 renewal was backed by the tote and then William Hill sponsored between 1982 and 1992. Vodafone supported the race from 1993 right through

to 2006, initially under the Vodac banner. Blue Square sponsored from 2007 to 2012, with QIPCO backing the Robins Farm Racing Stewards’ Cup in 2013. 32Red took over the sponsorship in 2014 before Qatar stepped in between 2015 and 2017..

The Stewards’ Cup used to be run on the first day of Glorious Goodwood, the Tuesday, switching to the Saturday in 1993. It is not unusual to see high-class sprinters winning the six-furlong handicap. The brilliant filly Soba, trained by David Chapman in Yorkshire, made all the running to take the 1982 renewal, one of her 11 victories that season, and returned to Goodwood to win the 1983 King George Stakes.

The late Dandy (David) Nicholls, who died in June, 2017, partnered the flying filly and subsequently won the race three times as a trainer. The North Yorkshire handler saddled Tayseer to success in 2000, followed up with Gift Horse in 2005 and also primed 20-1 shot Evens And Odds to score in 2010 under 5lb apprentice Billy Cray. Richard Hughes’ victory on Tayseer meant he became the most successful jockey of modern times in the Stewards’ Cup with three victories and he augmented that position in 2014 with a fourth win on 6/1 chance Intrinsic. His other two triumphs came on Shikari’s Son (1995) and Harmonic Way (1999).

The biggest winning margin since 1946 was in 1987 when the Peter Calver-trained Madraco won by four lengths. He was returned at 50/1, making him one of three horses since the Second World War to have triumphed at such long odds. The other two were Ahonoora (1978) and Ashurst Wonder (1954).

Another top filly on the roll of honour is Lochsong, who in 1992 defeated 29 rivals at Goodwood and went on to land an unprecedented sprint handicap treble that also included the Portland Handicapat Doncaster and Ayr Gold Cup. She progressed to win the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York and was twice victorious in Longchamp’s G1 Prix de l’Abbaye as well as coming back to Goodwood and winning two King George Stakes.

Coastal Bluff, the 1996 Stewards’ Cup scorer, was a second winner in three years for Yorkshire-based trainer David Barron and jockey Jimmy Fortune, following For The Present’s success two years earlier.

Coastal Bluff, like Lochsong, went on to win the Ayr Gold Cup and dead-heated for first place in the following year’s Nunthorpe Stakes.

Michael Tabor netted over £200,000 in winning bets when Danetime carried his colours and money to victory as the 5-1 favourite in 1997. The victory, a first Stewards’ Cup triumph for Pat Eddery, was described by trainer Neville Callaghan as the highlight of his career.

Danetime carried a huge weight of public money to victory, but his odds of 5-1 were not as low as the 4-1 about the 2003 winner Patavellian. Roger Charlton’s charge was the shortest-priced winning favourite in the race’s history and proved his class with success in the G1 Prix de l’Abbaye on his next start.

The 1998 Stewards’ Cup saw the launch of the tote trifecta bet. The 1998 and 1999 runnings showed that horses can win from either side of the course, with Superior Premium successful on the far side and Harmonic Way racing down the stands’ side to victory.

Trainers and owners have been able to choose their horse’s stall position for the race since 1999 in a draw ceremony conducted two days beforehand at the racecourse.

Yorkshire trainer, Tim Easterby, was successful in 2001 with Guinea Hunter, who got the better of Halmahera by a neck in a thrilling finish. The connections of Guinea Hunter had the agony of a stewards’ enquiry to endure, but the placings remained unaltered.

Zidane may have been drawn in the stall no-one wanted, but that did not stop James Fanshawe’s charge lifting the 2007 Stewards’ Cup by a short-head in a last-gasp swoop. The five-year-old had been the long-time ante-post favourite until the failure of connections to attend Thursday’s draw saw him allotted the last stall left, number 11, and a drift in the market ensued. Nevertheless, he was sent off the 6/1 favourite and punters were rewarded as Jamie Spencer brought Zidane with a storming late charge to deny the previous year’s winner Borderlescott in the final stride.

Borderlescott was a popular winner in 2006 for Yorkshire trainer Robin Bastiman. The tough gelding was agonisingly pipped on the line by Zidane as he went for the Stewards’ Cup double 12 months later and gallantly carried top-weight to finish a close third behind 40/1 shot Conquest in 2008. Borderlescott gained handsome compensation when twice winning the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes (2008 & 2009) at York and taking the 2010 King George Stakes at Goodwood. He ran at Glorious Goodwood a total of eight times.

William Haggas saddled the first two home in the 2008 Stewards’ Cup, when 40/1 chance Conquest and Dane O’Neill just held off the fast-finishing 12/1 shot King’s Apostle by a head. The previous trainer to have the one-two in the famous six-furlong handicap was Richard Hannon snr, as Knight Of Mercy and Bocas Rose were separated by a neck in 1990.

Newmarket-based Haggas also sent out 2013 winner Rex Imperator, who quickened smartly for a two and a quarter length triumph under Neil Callan.

Since starting stalls were first used in 1966, the luckiest draw has been stall 11 with five winners coming from that position. Four winners have been drawn in 19. No winner has come from stalls 2, 3, 7, 13, 17, 23 and 24. The numbering of stalls was changed in 2011 for right-handed courses like Goodwood and means it is the opposite of before. Low numbers used to be on the right looking from the stands and now are on the left.

Roger Charlton, Dandy Nicholls and Fred Armstrong are the joint most successful post-war trainers. Charlton

saddled his third winner in 2009 when Genki followed on from Patavellian (2003) and Harmonic Way (1999).

Since 1946, the winning margin has been a nose once, a short-head on 10 occasions, a head eight times and a neck 13 times. Before 2011, King’s Signet (1993) and Petong (1984) had carried the highest weight to victory - 9st 10lb. That all changed in 2011 when the Mick Easterby-trained Hoof It defied top-weight of 10st. The 13-2 joint-favourite was drawn in berth 18 of the 27 runners and was brilliantly ridden by Kieren Fallon to storm down the far rail for an impressive two and a half-length success.

Yorkshire-based Easterby, along with fellow part-owners, golfer Lee Westwood and agent Chubby Chandler, were narrowly denied G1 glory later in September, 2011, when Hoof It went down by a nose and a head in the Sprint Cup at Haydock Park. At the other end of the weight scale, the three-year-old Psalmsinger had a featherweight 5st 4lb when triumphant in the 1845 Stewards’ Cup. The minimum weight is now 8st.

In 2012, the prize went to Scotland with the Jim Goldie-trained Hawkeyethenoo taking the spoils in the final stride under former jump jockey Graham Lee. The winning distance of a nose is the shortest in the race’s history. The Unibet Stewards’ Cup has a maximum limit of 28 runners these days, but that has not always been the case and in 1861 Croagh Patrick defeated 44 rivals to take the famous sprint. Only 12 lined up in 1842 when Lady Adela gained the spoils – the smallest field in the race’s history.

Epirus was a six-year-old when winning in 1840 and 13 other winners have been that age. Four-year-olds have been most successful with 70 wins, while three-year-olds have taken the prize on 53 occasions and five-year-olds 28 times.

The John White-trained eight-year-old Shikari’s Son became the oldest winner in 1995, taking the distinction from Epaulet, who was seven when triumphant in 1958.

The 2015 winner Magical Memory became the first three-year-old to succeed since Danetime in 1997 and progressed to win the G2 Duke Of York Stakes.

Dermot Weld saddled Red Alert to success in 1974, the only Irish-trained winner of the Stewards’ Cup since 1946, while 15 of the 72 favourites in that time have succeeded.

The 2016 winner Dancing Star, a three-year- old, just squeaked into the race and won cosily to become the second consecutive winning favourite following Magical Memory in 2015. Owner Jeff Smith also enjoyed Qatar Stewards’ Cup success with Lochsong.

The 2017 victor, Lancelot Du Lac, was Italian-bred and ridden by Italian-born jockey Frankie Dettori to storm to a 25/1 success.

The £75,000 consolation race, the Qatar Stewards’ Sprint Handicap, for horses who fail to get in the Stewards’ Cup, moved from the Friday of Glorious Goodwood to become the first race on the Saturday in 2011.

THE STEWARDS’ CUP DRAW

The information given here for the period 1966 to 2010 is now of

historical interest since the stall numbering at Goodwood from 2011 is opposite to how it used to be after a change by the British Horseracing Authority to bring the United Kingdom into line with most other racing jurisdictions.

The low numbers at Goodwood, a right-handed course, are now on the left looking from the stands and the high numbers on the right rather than the other way around.

trained at Goodwood does not include those ‘Goodwood’ races transferred to other courses during the rebuilding of the main grandstand in 1979 and 1980. Where ‘big race wins’ are listed, the figure in

brackets refers to the number of times the trainer has won that race. The ‘big races’ at the 1979 and 1980 transferred meetings are included.

FIRST GOODWOOD WINNER:Common Consent (The Mail On Sunday/Tote Mile Handicap, June 30, 2002)

With a relaxed atmosphere and hopefully plenty of summer

sunshine, the 1950s-themed August Bank Holiday Weekend provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy the charms of racing high on the Sussex Downs, as well as rekindling nostalgic summers of yesteryear.

Starting with a relaxed evening fixture on Friday, August 24, which has a spectacular firework display after racing, the action continues with high-class Group race action on Saturday, August 25 and a family day on Sunday, August 26 with so much on offer and lots of entertainment that will appeal to all ages.

There’s a traditional funfair with a helter-skelter, big wheel, chair o’ planes, gallopers and Austin cars, with all rides complimentary. The Circus Malabaritas fire performers will be present on Friday evening, with circus tutors, Punch and Judy, inflatable golf net, mock beach and kid’s petting zoo available on the Saturday and the Sunday.

The soundtrack to August Bank Holiday will be provided by a host of musical acts. There will be drummers on the Friday evening, with the Howard Clarke Jazz band in the Gordon Enclosure during the two afternoons, and a string quartet will play in the Richmond Enclosure. After racing each day, the Class of 58 Rock & Roll band will entertain.

Accompanied children, aged under 18, gain free entry to Goodwood Racecourse throughout the August Bank Holiday Weekend.

Saturday’s highlight is the £125,000 G2 Celebration Mile, which was first run in 1967 and boasts Brigadier Gerard, Kris, Known Fact, Selkirk, Mark Of Esteem and Raven’s Pass on its roll of honour.

The 2012 Celebration Mile saw a deserved success for the tough campaigner Premio Loco, who got the better of Thistle Bird and Aljamaaheer in a thrilling finish with

less than half a length covering the first three. Premio Loco had already shown high-class form at Goodwood, having been third to Canford Cliffs in the 2010 Qatar Sussex Stakes, while top-class mile Lightning Spear has plundered the last two renewals for owner Qatar Racing, trainer David Simcock and jockey Oisin Murphy.

There are stars of the future on show in the £50,000 Prestige Stakes, a seven-furlong G3 contest for two-year-old fillies, with the £100,000 handicap over the same distance and the £75,000 March Stakes over a mile and three quarters, which has been upgraded to G3 status for 2018, also feature.

Sunday’s highlight is the £60,000 G3 Supreme Stakes over seven furlongs. John Gosden is the trainer to follow, having sent out five winners of the race.

AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND

The August Bank Holiday Weekend over three days at Goodwood offers

high-class racing and lots of fun.

AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND

84 85

Introduced in 1967 two years after Goodwood’s August meeting started,

the Celebration Mile, or Wills Mile, to give the race its original appellation, was the brainchild of Goodwood officials John Hughes and Ralph Hubbard.

It was conceived as a natural follow-up to the G1 Qatar Sussex Stakes and, sure enough, the inaugural winner in 1967 St Chad gained revenge over Reform, to whom he had finished fourth in the Qatar Goodwood Festival showpiece.

A host of champions and top-class milers have taken this prize down the years, Habitat (1969), Humble Duty (1970) and the peerless Brigadier Gerard (1971) triumphed in a golden three-year period, while Kris (1979), Known Fact (1980), Milligram (1987), Selkirk (1992), Mark Of Esteem (1996) and Raven’s Pass (2008) were all outstanding winners.

Raven’s Pass had failed by only a head to overhaul Henrythenavigator in the Qatar Sussex Stakes before returning to Goodwood for a commanding victory in the Celebration Mile, a race that marked the beginning of a brilliant sequence.

On his next start, Raven’s Pass turned the tables on Henrythenavigator in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot and again saw off his old foe, as well as US Horse of the

Year, Curlin, to land a sensational triumph in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Chic was the first horse to capture the race on two occasions, in 2004 and 2005, for Sir Michael Stoute and the trainer enjoyed a remarkable eighth victory in the Celebration Mile thanks to Zacinto’s promotion in 2009 after the first past the post Delegator was subsequently disqualified because of a prohibited substance.

Poet’s Voice gave Godolphin trainer Saeed bin Suroor a fourth win in 2010, following on from Mark Of Esteem (1996), Cape Cross (1999) and Caradak (2006). The colt won the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on his next start.

Dubawi Gold gained a deserved success in 2011, having finished second to Frankel in the 2000 Guineas and filled the same position in the Irish 2000 Guineas earlier in the season, while Premio Loco became the oldest winner of the race in 2012 at the age of eight.

The 2013 renewal saw an impressive performance from the Luca Cumani-trained Afsare, who justified favouritism with an impressive two-length success.

Trainer Mark Johnston registered his first victory in 2014 with Bow Creek, who subsequently captured the G2 Boomerang

Mile on the inaugural Irish Champions Weekend at Leopardstown.

In 2015, Kodi Bear handed an impressive first success in the Celebration Mile to trainer Clive Cox and ace French jockey Gerald Mosse.

The David Simcock-trained Lightning Spear emulated Chic by becoming the second dual winner of the Celebration Mile, succeeding for the second time in 2017. Triumphant by one and three-quarter lengths in 2016 over Zonderland, Lightning Spear went on to finish a fine third to Minding in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot in October of the same year.

Following a fine start to his 2017 campaign, which included second to Ribchester in the G1 Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes and a third to Here Comes When in the G1 Qatar Sussex Stakes at the Qatar Goodwood Festival, Lightning Spear, with Oisin Murphy up for the second year, justified Even money favouritism over old foe Zonderland, from Clive Cox’s Lambourn yard, by a nose.

Lightning Spear remains in training as a seven-year-old.

The age breakdown of the winners is 3yo - 33; 4yo - 7; 5yo - 6; 6yo - 3, 8yo - 1, while 21 out of 50 market leaders have triumphed.

Known as the Prestige Stakes since 1989, the race for two-year-old fillies began

life as the Globtik Stakes in 1974 when the future Cheshire and Lancashire Oaks winner One Over Parr landed the odds under Pat Eddery.

The 1980 winner, Fairy Footsteps, went on to Classic glory in the following spring’s 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. Bella Colora, successful in 1984, finished third to Oh So Sharp in one of the greatest 1000 Guineas ever staged in 1985 and returned to Goodwood to win the Lupe Stakes before taking the G1 Prix de l’Opera at Longchamp. Bella Colora proved to be a fine broodmare, the best of her offspring being the top-class Stagecraft.

Another Prestige Stakes (1989) and Lupe Stakes winner, Moon Cactus, was the dam of Epsom Oaks heroine Moonshell and fellow G1 victor Doyen.

Pure Grain upheld the quality of the Goodwood race in 1994 as she subsequently won the Irish and Yorkshire Oaks.

The 2001 winner, Gossamer, added Ascot’s G1 Fillies’ Mile to her tally, with the same double also completed by Nannina in 2005. Gossamer went on to Classic success in the Irish 1000 Guineas, while Nannina

prevailed in the G1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Fantasia carried off the spoils in 2008 and was then runner-up to Rainbow View in the G1 Fillies’ Mile at Ascot before coming home third in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, the French 1000 Guineas the following year.

Regal Realm prevailed in an extraordinary climax to the 2011 renewal as the Jeremy Noseda-trained filly beat Rakasa by a short-head, with Questing and Nayarra a pair of heads further back. Nayarra subsequently captured a G1 in Italy, while Questing was crowned America’s champion three-year-old filly following a pair of impressive G1 victories on dirt.

Sky Lantern was beaten half a length into second by Ollie Olga in the 2012 renewal and went on to land the following year’s QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The 2013 Prestige Stakes went the way of the Ed Dunlop-trained Amazing Maria, who made all under Gerald Mosse to score unchallenged by two and a half lengths, having been the very easy winner of the EBF British Stallion Studs New Ham Fillies’ Maiden at the Qatar Goodwood Festival earlier the same month.

Ollie Olga’s trainer Mick Channon was on the scoresheet again in 2014 with decisive winner Malabar, who finished fourth in the first fillies’ Classic of 2015, the QIPCO 1000 Guineas.

The 2015 renewal was won by Hawksmoor, trained by Hugo Palmer in Newmarket, who came third in the G1 Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket in the autumn and won the 2016 German 1000 Guineas. Hawksmoor is now trained in America by Arnaud Delacour and has won two Graded events at Belmont Park thus far.

No stranger to success at the Qatar Goodwood Festival, having been crowned the meeting’s leading trainer on a record 11 occasions, North Yorkshire handler Mark Johnston registered his first success in the Prestige Stakes in 2016 courtesy of Kilmah, who scored by a neck under Franny Norton.

The progressive Billesdon Brook followed up success in the Telegraph Nursery Handicap at the 2017 Qatar Goodwood Festival with victory in last year’s Prestige Stakes under Sean Levey. The daughter of Champs Elysees, trained by Richard Hannon, went on to land the mile fillies’ Classic, the QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in 2018, belying her 66/1 odds.

THREE-YEAR-OLDS & UPWARDS. SEVEN FURLONGS. FIRST RUN 2011.

This valuable seven-furlong handicap was introduced in 2011 at Goodwood’s

August Bank Holiday Weekend.

Eton Rifles, who became a talented sprinter with Listed wins in Britain, Ireland and France, won the inaugural running by a length under Kieren Fallon when trained by David Elsworth.

The George Margarson-trained Imperial Guest went down by a nose to Hawkeyethenoo in the Stewards’ Cup at Glorious Goodwood, but gained

compensation with a cosy half-length success in 2012.

Magic City, part-owned by former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, completed a three-timer at Goodwood in 2013 with a comfortable length success over Intransigent. The Richard Hannon-trained gelding tried for back-to-back wins in 2014 and finished third to Almargo who won for trainer Mark Johnston and jockey Royston Ffrench by making all to score by two lengths.

There was another northern success in 2015 when the Richard Fahey-trained Rene Mathis scored in the hands of George Challoner.

Newmarket trainer Roger Varian saddled the 2016 winner, 7/2 favourite Certificate, who kept on gamely to score by a head under Andrea Atzeni.

Fellow Newmarket handler John Gosden landed last year’s renewal with Johnny Barnes, ridden by Robert Tart, who triumphed by a length.

THREE-YEAR-OLDS (THREE-YEAR-OLDS ONLY UNTIL 1999 & REVERTED TO THREE-YEAR-OLDS ONLY IN 2017 – PROMOTED FROM LISTED TO GROUP THREE IN 2018). ONE MILE & SIX FURLONGS. FIRST RUN 1965.

The expansion of racing at Goodwood in 1965 saw the introduction an August

meeting that included a new race, the March Stakes. The race name derives from the Earldom of March, a title inherited by the eldest sons of the Duke of Richmond.

Ribofilio, the champion two-year-old of 1968, secured the 1969 March Stakes before finishing second in the St Leger, the final British Classic, of that year.

Two colts, Commanche Run (1984) and Michelozzo (1989), have added the G1 St Leger to a March Stakes victory, while the great stayer Le Moss was triumphant in the 1978 renewal of the Goodwood contest. Le Moss won the G1 Gold Cup at Ascot both in 1979 and 1980.

The race, previously just for three-year-olds, was opened to older horses for the first time in 1999 and the remarkable Yavana’s Pace, then seven, vanquished the younger generation. It reverted to being a three-year-old only event in 2017.

Mourilyan won well in 2009 for the father and son combination of Gary and Ryan

Moore and on his next start for a new trainer, South African-based Herman Brown, finished third in Australia’s G1 Melbourne Cup.

Newmarket handler Luca Cumani has registered five March Stakes victories, most recently with Quest For Peace in 2012. The colt headed to Australia afterwards, coming home fifth in the G1 Caulfield Cup and 10th in the G1 Melbourne Cup.

Harris Tweed followed up his impressive Glorious Goodwood success with a head victory over Mount Athos in 2013. The winner rounded off his campaign with a brave second in the G2 QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup, while the runner-up ran a fine race in the G1 Melbourne Cup, beaten two and a quarter lengths into third.

Forever Now, trained by John Gosden made most of the running and held on by a short-head in a thrilling 2014 renewal and then finished sixth in the G1 St Leger.

The Twisler became the longest-priced victor in the race’s 52 runnings when

landing the 2016 renewal for Newmarket-based trainer Jane Chapple-Hyam.

Sir Michael Stoute is the leading trainer in the March Stakes and the Newmarket handler captured his seventh success courtesy of Platitude in 2016. The well-supported 13/8 favourite scored decisively by five lengths under Andrea Atzeni.

Her Majesty The Queen owns and bred the winner of last year’s renewal with the William Haggas-trained three-year-old Call To Mind scoring by a length and a quarter under Pat Cosgrave. The son of Galileo went on to finish second in a G2 event at Chantilly, came third in the G2 Yorkshire Cup in May this year and won the G2 Belmont Gold Cup over two miles in America the following month.

For 2018, the March Stakes has been upgraded to G3 status as part of the European Pattern Committee’s programme to enhance the programme for stayers.

The 52 runnings have seen 23 favourites succeed in the one mile and six-furlong event.

Belmont Bay headed to Goodwood for the inaugural running of the Supreme

Stakes, then a Listed contest known as the Harroways Stakes, in 1981, having already captured the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury and the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot that season and the 10-11 favourite obliged under Lester Piggott.

Another classy victor was Efisio, who took the 1985 renewal on route to success in the G2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket. John Dunlop’s charge won an Italian G1 the next season and subsequently proved an influential sire.

The race became known as the Supreme Stakes in 1987 when it was upgraded to G3 status and the Barry Hills-trained Asteroid Field prevailed from Jersey Stakes winner Midyan.

Several G1 winners have tasted success in the Supreme Stakes, including Soviet Line (1994), who twice captured the Lockinge

Stakes. Tagula won the Prix Morny as a two-year-old before winning the 1996 renewal, while subsequent Prix de la Foret victor Mount Abu triumphed in 2000.

With five victories, John Gosden is the most successful trainer in the Supreme Stakes and enjoyed back-to-back wins in 1997 and 1998 with Decorated Hero.

Godolphin’s Firebreak carried off the prize in 2002 and his trainer, Saeed bin Suroor, achieved a second victory in 2013 with Lockwood.

Richard Hannon snr, successful with Ordnance Row in 2009, also won the 2011 running with Libranno, who had captured the G2 Qatar Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood a year earlier, and struck again in 2012 with subsequent G2 winner Producer.

Irish raider Ansgar was the 14/1 outsider of the field when scoring for trainer Sabrina

Harty in 2014, but proved it was no flash in the pan when making all in the G2 Park Stakes at Doncaster the following month.

David O’Meara procured his first success in the 2015 renewal when So Beloved scored under his stable jockey Danny Tudhope.

Mick Channon also registered a first Supreme Stakes victory in 2016 when the Oisin Murphy-ridden Opal Tiara triumphed by a neck.

Godolphin’s Dutch Connection justified 13/8 favouritism in the 2017 renewal for trainer Charlie Hills and jockey Jim Crowley by two lengths. Dutch Connection has a fine record at Goodwood, having won a maiden at the track in 2014 and also winning the G2 Qatar Lennox Stakes at the 2016 Qatar Goodwood Festival.

The age split of winners has been 3yo - 15; 4yo - 8; 5yo - 8 6yo - 4; while 15 of the 35 winners have started favourite.

The Foundation Stakes has been a stepping-stone for some high-class

performers.

Perpendicular, trained by Henry Cecil, turned over hot favourite, the Michael Stoute-handled Opera House, in 1991. The winner won the following season’s Prince

of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot, while the runner-up was the champion older horse in 1993, thanks to G1 victories in the Coronation Cup, Eclipse Stakes and King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Diamond White’s 1999 success preceded a triumph in the G2 Prix de l’Opera, while

Albarahin (2000) subsequently scored in the 2001 G2 Prix Dollar.

Twice Over took the 2009 renewal of the Foundation Stakes impressively and went on to G1 victories in the Champion Stakes (2009 & 2010) at Newmarket, the

Eclipse Stakes (2010) and Juddmonte International (2011).

Godolphin trainer Saeed bin Suroor registered his sixth success in 2011, courtesy of Hunter’s Light who subsequently gained G1 victories in Italy and Dubai.

The Jeremy Noseda-trained Grandeur, a dual G2 winner in America, joined Danish Rhapsody (1997 & 1998) as the only other dual winner of Foundation Stakes when posting a comfortable victory in 2014.

Useful All-Weather performer Battalion proved his versatility when scoring well in 2015 for trainer William Haggas and jockey Pat Cosgrave.

Saeed bin Suroor gained his seventh Foundation Stakes victory in the 2016 renewal when Sky Hunter scored readily by three and a quarter lengths. The son of Motivator went on to finish fifth behind star stayer Vazirabad in the G1 Prix Royal-Oak at Saint-Cloud in October, 2016.

The progressive Monarchs Glen, trained by John Gosden, was the narrow winner of the 2017 renewal under Robert Tart. The three-year-old son of Frankel won by a short-head from What About Carlo in second. Monarchs Glen went on to capture the competitive G3 Darley Club Stakes at Newmarket the following month.

This is an unusual contest for jump jockeys on the Flat, which commenced

in 1995 on the August Bank Holiday Sunday. It was initially supported by the late Marquesa de Moratalla and previously named after her three top-class French chasers, Ucello II and Ubu III, who both numbered the Grand Steeplechase de Paris among their numerous triumphs. This pair of horses, together with 1994 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero, The Fellow, were trained by Francois Doumen and fondly known as ‘The Three Musketeers’. The race started out as the Ucello II & Ubu III Trophy Handicap and moved to its current October slot in 2003.

In 2011, the race was renamed the Alberbrook Handicap, in recognition of the top-class dual-purpose performer of

the 1990s. Alderbrook was undefeated in three starts at Goodwood, including the G3 Select Stakes and the Listed Festival Stakes in 1994, before winning the 1995 Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. An entire, he became a successful Jump stallion following his retirement.

David Bridgwater won the inaugural running, steering Mr Browning to a four-length success.

Paul Carberry was successful for jump trainer Ferdy Murphy atop French Ivy in 1996 and the following year, when the race was switched to Goodwood’s September meeting, the Oliver Sherwood-trained Father Sky won under Jimmy McCarthy.

Richard Hughes, although better known for his big-race victories on the Flat, renewed his jump licence to land the spoils aboard Samarando in 2000 and again in 2014 on Aiyana.

Leading jump jockeys to triumph include Robert Thornton (2001), Richard Johnson (2003), Timmy Murphy (2007), Paddy Brennan (2008), Jason Maguire (2012) and Wayne Hutchinson (2013).

Dual Grand National-winning jockey Leighton Aspell stands out from the crowd however, as he has managed to wrest the prize three times, aboard Cedar Master in 2002, Sir Monty, by a short-head, three years later and on Kokkokila in 2009.

Four out of the 21 favourites have won.
