Foreword The Qatar Goodwood Festival 2017 marked a special moment in our history with the Qatar Goodwood Cup being upgraded to a Group One race. In addition, the overall prize purse increased to over five million pounds across the five days of the Festival. We continued to work on our global promotion of the Festival and the enhancement of the customer experience on the ground, against a backdrop of fantastic racing. Our focus for this year was very much to grow our digital audience and the data results provided in this report show that this investment has paid off hugely while laying a strong foundation on which to build for the future. On Tuesday, the stage was set for a historic third victory in the Qatar Goodwood Cup for Big Orange but John Gosden and Stradivarius had other ideas and this three-year-old colt showed his prowess when winning by almost two lengths. Indeed, the first day sprung quite a few surprises with prices of 20/1, 50/1, 100/1 and 33/1 across the board and some very happy punters as a result. The weather was against us on the second day and the going changed quite rapidly from Good to Soft. The two-year-olds took centre stage in the Bombay Sapphire Molecomb Stakes (Group Three) with Havana Grey overcoming ground concerns to win with authority for trainer Karl Burke. The Qatar Sussex Stakes was next and produced a surprising but popular winner in the shape of Here Comes When as he beat the odds-on-favourite Ribchester by a neck. The third day was appropriately Ladies Day with the Markel Insurance Fillies’ Stakes (Group Three) and Qatar Nassau Stakes (Group One) the feature races of the day. Endless Time won the former in a scintillating finish for Team Godolphin. Later in the afternoon, Winter was bidding for her fourth Group One race in a row in the Nassau; this time the script played out with a picture-perfect ride from Ryan Moore bringing the Coolmore connections tally in this race to three in a row. The sun came out on Friday and Battaash hid the headlines with a truly authoritative victory in the Qatar King George Stakes (Group Two) for Charlie Hills, while on Saturday we finally saw Frankie’s flying dismount when he took the Qatar Stewards Cup aboard Lancelot du Lac. The Qatar Goodwood Festival 2017 was the setting for some of the most exciting racing in Europe this year. Thrilling sporting action on the course, watched by an increasingly international audience, demonstrates the growth and future potential of our partnership. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to working with you towards another wonderful festival of racing next year.

“Goodwood is a combination of all things, it is certainly the most picturesque track in Britain.� Mark Johnston, Trainer

T H E B E T F R E D MILE HANDICAP STAKES
4 August 2017 The Betfred Mile is one of the top handicaps of the season, which is not surprising given the £130,000 in prize money, and it remains one of the richest handicaps in Europe. Waajib was a fine winner of the inaugural running - called the Schweppes Golden Mile - as he went on to win the Group Two Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot the following year. Safawan stepped up from his 1989 win to take the Group Two Lockinge Stakes in 1990, while Fly To The Stars won at Goodwood in 1997 and landed the Lockinge - by then a Group One - in 1999. William Hill took over sponsorship of the race in 1998, while totesport provided support from 2005 to 2011, with Betfred, who bought the tote, becoming the backer in 2012. Ancient World became notable in 2004 as he was the first favourite to win at 9-2. The four-year-old, owned by Godolphin and trained by Saeed bin Suroor, enhanced the contest’s reputation with a Group Three victory at Windsor followed by a deserved triumph in the Group One Premio Vittorio Di Capua in Italy that autumn. The second market leader in the 27 runnings to win was 5-2 chance Third Set who scored by three lengths in 2007, the first of two consecutive winners sent out by Roger Charlton. Fifteen Love had already captured the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot in June, 2008, and clinched a major handicap double when winning the Goodwood race. Mark Johnston emulated that feat when he saddled back-to-back winners with Laa Rayb (2009) and subsequent Group Three victor Sea Lord (2010). Johnston is by far the most successful trainer in the Betfred Mile’s short history with five victories, having also been successful in 1997 with Fly To The Stars, in 2001 with Riberac and in 2012 with Fulbright, who subsequently captured the Group Two Challenge Stakes at Newmarket. In 2017, David Elsworth’s Master The World won the race ridden by Ryan Moore, who was leading jockey at the meeting for the second year in a row. Master The World was sent off at 6-1 second favourite and ran on well despite taking a keen hold early on, eventually scoring by ¾ of a length. nd

COURSE CHARACTERISTICS The Goodwood Stakes Course of 2m 5f starts below the winning post and, running the reverse way of the course, turns left after about 4f and returns to the straight 5f run-in by the top bend. The Cup Course is the last 2m, the Bentinck Course the last 1m 6f and the Gratwicke Course the last 1m of the Stakes Course. The 1m 3f distance is a new one introduced this year. The Craven Course is 1m 1f 192y, starting in almost the same spot as the Gratwicke Course but running in the reverse direction and returning to the 5f run-in by the top bend. The 1m 1f course, though starting at almost the same point, follows the lower bend till joining the straight. The Old Mile and 7f Courses start on the Stakes Course and join the 5f courses on the lower bend. The 5f and 6f (Stewards’ Cup) courses are dead straight, the first furlong of the latter being uphill and then slightly undulating to the finish. The sharp bends and downhill gradients suit the handy, well balanced, neat actioned sort and are against the big long-striding horse. The course benefits from an artificial watering system. The one mile three furlong starts at the same point as the one mile four furlongs but enters the straight via the lower bend.
