Qatar Goodwood Festival

The Qatar Goodwood Festival is one of the undisputed highlights of the British Flat racing season.

The world famous five-day festival, affectionately known as ‘Glorious Goodwood’, presents spellbinding sport and a social occasion like no other, unrivalled style, scintillating racing and hospitality to savour make for an exquisite week where some of the greatest stars in horse racing are crowned.

The finest stayers in the land provide a fitting curtain raiser in Group 1 Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup, for any racing purist Tuesday is an unmissable day. Spearheading day two are the milers who grace the hallowed Goodwood turf in the £1 million Qatar Sussex Stakes, before the fillies strut their stuff on Ladies Day with the Qatar Nassau Stakes providing the feature spectacle. As if that isn't enough, day five sees the fastest racehorses in the world contest the King George Qatar Stakes before arguably one of the most competitive handicaps in British flat racing comes under starters' orders in the form of the Coral Stewards' Cup on Saturday.
