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.

TH E M A R K E L I N S U R A NCE FILLIES’ STAKES (Group 3)
3 August 2017 This race was introduced to the Goodwood programme in 2003 as the Gladness Stakes, a Listed contest named after the 1958 Goodwood Cup winner, and the Rae Guest-trained Moments Of Joy won from nine rivals by coming from last to first. The following year the 14-furlong contest was upgraded to Group Three status and called the Lillie Langtry Stakes after the famous actress and mistress of the future Edward VII. Astrocharm beat Pongee who went on to run second in the Group One Yorkshire Oaks. Tartouche, trained near Arundel by Lady Herries, won by a length in 2005 and followed up in 2006 in a tighter finish, prevailing by neck. The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Hi Calypso came from last to first as she gained victory in 2007, before beating All My Loving in the Group Two Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster. Gravitation and Folk Opera provided a treat in 2008 as they duelled to the line from fully two furlongs out. The William Jarvis-trained Gravitation nailed her rival in the final stride to clinch a hard-fought success. The runner-up subsequently triumphed in the Grade One E P Taylor Stakes at Woodbine, Canada. Simple Verse, successful in 2015 for Ralph Beckett and Harry Bentley, is the best winner of the Markel Insurance Fillies’ Stakes, having gone on to Group One success in both the final British Classic, the St Leger at Doncaster, and the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes at Ascot. Trainer Charlie Appleby and jockey William Buick teamed up to give Godolphin victory in the 2017 renewal with Endless Time, who was sent off as 5-2 favourite and got up in the final strides to beat Dubka by half a length.

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.

2016 WINNER: CALIFORNIA (IRE) 4 9 6 Robert Havlin 9-2 (John Gosden) 7 ran
Race Summary Ralph Beckett runs four in a contest that he landed in 2015 with Simple Verse, and while the likes of Diamonds Pour Moi and Alyssa have some decent form to their name and should relish conditions, this can go the way of MELODIC MOTION. Chasing a four-timer after an impressive Newmarket win last time out, the three-year-old should handle conditions and has the benefit of past course-winning experience. Natural Scenery should like conditions and arrives here in fine form.
Win: Melodic Motion
