About Qatar Goodwood Festival 2019
With five days of thrilling action set against the magnificent backdrop of the rolling Sussex countryside, The Qatar Goodwood Festival 2019 – popularly known as ‘Glorious Goodwood’ – is one of the highlights of the flat-racing season.
Day 1: Tuesday 30 July
A feast of top quality racing attracts the best equine athletes in the world accompanied by the biggest names in the sport. The Tuesday highlight is the Qatar Goodwood Cup worth £500,000.
Day 2: Wednesday 31 July
The Qatar Sussex Stakes, on Wednesday, is one of the highlights of the flat racing season, with prize money of £1million attracting a world-class field to this mile-long Group 1 race. Two further Group races provide the perfect chance to get against the rails for the best racing the sport has to offer.
Day 3: Thursday 01 August
Ladies’ Day is the most glamorous day of the event and is truly the place to see and be seen. There’ll be plenty of action both on and off the track. Raising money for Wellbeing of Women, the ladies’ amateur jockey race – the Magnolia Cup – will get the day off to an impressive start.
Day 4: Friday 02 August
The £300,000 Group 2 Qatar King George Stakes is one of the highlights of the year. Friday’s seven compelling races, including four group races, bring the sport’s biggest names to Goodwood.
Day 5: Saturday 03 August
The £250,000 Qatar Stewards Cup takes centre stage for the final day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival. The six-furlong cavalry charge of the Qatar Stewards Cup is a sight to behold, with over 20 sprinters thundering down the Goodwood straight.
Gates open at 11.00 am with the first race setting- off each day at approximately 2.00 pm each day.
