Goodwood

Acknowledged by many as the most beautiful racecourse in the world, the origins of racing at Goodwood can be traced back over two centuries to when the 3rd Duke of Richmond first bought horseracing to his West Sussex Estate in 1802. Held over three days, the first race meeting comprised sixteen races with total prize money of just £313. This year the Season runs from 20th May to 12th October, with a total of 21 days racing including the 5-day Glorious Goodwood week (29th July – 2nd August), 144 races and prize money now topping £3 million. Set atop the lofty South Downs, Goodwood provides a spectacular backdrop for first class international racing and a wide variety of locations and opportunities to entertain guests.
