QATAR GOODWOOD FESTIVAL 2 019
Foreword The 2019 Qatar Goodwood Festival was one that will live long in the memory, with glorious summer sunshine (after a rather blustery start!) and over 100,000 racegoers in attendance. Goodwood’s first runners from Japan and America added to the top-class horseracing, drawing attention from around the world throughout the week and beyond. Fayez was the first winner of the week, taking the Unibet Handicap under Danny Tudhope before the much-anticipated Qatar Goodwood Cup took centre stage. It was the popular Stradivarius who won the race claiming a historic third consecutive Goodwood Cup. Later in the afternoon, trainer John Gallagher saddled Green Power to win the Chelsea Barracks Handicap when he stayed on strongly inside the final furlong. On Wednesday, Timoshenko recorded a popular sixth successive victory for Middleham Park Racing in The Unibet Goodwood Handicap Stakes, before the Mark Johnson trained Sir Ron Priestley won the Unibet Handicap. Yorkshire trainer John Quinn claimed the Markel Insurance Molecomb Stakes with the consistent Liberty Beach who showed an impressive turn of foot before the showpiece of the day. Too Darn Hot proved a popular victor when landing his third Group 1 in The Qatar Sussex Stakes under Frankie Dettori for Lord and Lady Lloyd Webber. To close the card, The New & Lingwood Handicap Stakes went the way of Dirty Rascal who narrowly prevailed in a pulsating finish. Ladies’ day kicked off with the Magnolia Cup, a charity race for inspirational women that has become an integral part of the Qatar Goodwood Festival. Khadijah Mellah’s ground-breaking victory in the race reached over a billion people worldwide. John Gosden claimed The Unibet Handicap with Forest Of Dean, while Deirdre’s success in the Qatar Nassau Stakes provided Japan with their first Group 1 success in Great Britain for two decades. Charlie Hills went on to have a successful week at the Sussex track following Vividly’s victory in The Markel Maiden Fillies’ Stakes. He won the feature race on Friday when the brilliant Battaash wrote his name into the history books by winning a third consecutive King George Qatar Stakes, in breath-taking fashion. The supporting card on Friday saw the gutsy Duke Of Hazzard win the The Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes under PJ McDonald, who recorded his fourth victory of the week and subsequently went on to take the Racing TV leading jockey award. The Unibet Golden Mile was won by Beat Le Bon before Homespin won The Unibet Nursery Handicap Stakes. Saturday saw Enbihaar secure one of the most impressive wins of the week in the Qatar Lille Langtry Stakes. Jockey Jim Crawley followed up with a quickfire double when Khaadem won The Unibet Stewards’ Cup, the much-anticipated annual Calvary charge. This year’s Qatar Goodwood Festival thrilled all those who attended, as well as those who watched across the globe. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to creating more unique memories in 2020.
The Duke of Richmond & Gordon
“Everything about Goodwood is so beautiful, British, heartfelt and it’s all done with heart and soul.” TOM KERRIDGE, MICHELIN STAR CHEF
2019 With five days of thrilling action set against the magnificent backdrop of the rolling Sussex countryside, The Qatar Goodwood Festival – popularly known as ‘Glorious Goodwood’ – is an undoubted highlight of the flat-racing season.
“Goodwood is one of my favourite racecourses to present on ITV. Not only is it the most beautiful racecourse on the planet but it is also the stage for some of the world’s best racing. Add to that superb hospitality, with The Duke of Richmond setting the tone, and you have a potent mixture for a brilliant day at the races.” Ed Chamberlin, Presenter ITV Racing

“At an early stage in my career we latched onto the great opportunities here at Goodwood, we really enjoy it, the owners really enjoy it, and we have some overseas owners here this week and they are really enjoying it. There is no better place to come to advertise British racing – its superb.” MARK JOHNSTON, LEADING RACEHORSE TRAINER

course cha r act e r istics 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.

A winner at 6-1 at Newmarket over 7f (good to firm) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating La Maquina by 3l, his first win from four starts. That came on his handicap bow and he likely has much more to offer for his in-form stable. Leading claims. Official BHA Rating 93

2018 WINNER: MEDAHIM (IRE) 4 9 12 Ryan Moore 7-1 (Richard Hannon) 18 ran STEWARDS NOTED: ALJADY:Following its run on 15/6/2019 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe. MR TYRRELL:Following its run on 18/7/2019 it was reported that the horse’s saddle slipped.
Race Summary Lyndon B overcame trouble in running to score over 1m at Leicester last time and is expected to give a good account, off this 7lb higher mark, over this shorter trip. For win purposes, however, preference is for unexposed Godolphin runner LIGHT AND DARK, who won impressively on his handicap bow at HQ recently (with La Maquina behind in second and Dirty Rascal back in third) and his stable has undergone something of a form revival in recent weeks. Charles Molson, Blackheath and Revich are others to consider in an open heat.
Win: Light And Dark
Danger: Lyndon B
Goodwood’s reputation as one of the pinnacles of the social calendar flourished under the seventh Duke of Richmond, who was a friend of King Edward VII and his son George V, both of whom stayed with His Grace for the Festival.
In 1830 when George IV thought he was on his deathbed such was his anxiety to find out the Goodwood results that he stationed a relay of post boys between Windsor and the racecourse to convey the results as they came through.
