Sponsored by Qatar, the five-day event boasts top-tier racing competitions, including the prestigious Sussex Stakes, Goodwood Cup, and Nassau Stakes.

Notable champions like Frankel, Kingman, and Baaeed have graced this event in the past, with last year’s winner, Notable Speech, possibly defending the title against the rising star Field Of Gold.
The Goodwood Cup, offering a prize of £500,000, headlines the first day’s events and challenges the best stayers over a two-mile track. The Nassau Stakes, with a prize purse of £600,000, tests the top female horses over a mile and a quarter.
