FOREWORD I look forward to welcoming you to another captivating season of racing at Goodwood in 2013. The undoubted highlight of 2012 was the sight of unbeaten wonder horse Frankel storming to victory in the Sussex Stakes with yet another supreme display of speed and power on the Downs. With his retirement from racing now confirmed, we are proud that Goodwood has played host to two of his finest successes in a star-studded career and that many of you were fortunate enough to witness these triumphs. As ever, we are eagerly anticipating our showcase five-day Festival meeting that gets underway on the final Tuesday of July and will attract some of the finest jockeys, trainers and horses in Europe once again. I hope to see you at Goodwood where you will enjoy a memorable experience at the world’s most beautiful racecourse.
