When is Glorious Goodwood? Dates, Race Times & More

Glorius Goodwood Dates & Races

Here’s a brief preview of each of the five days of racing at Glorious Goodwood. 

Tuesday, July 30 (Day One)

Other horse racing festivals often see the most prestigious race happen later into the week, but this isn’t the case with Glorious Goodwood, where the iconic Goodwood Cup, or Qatar Goodwood Cup, takes place on day 1. It’s one of the three Group 1 races staged at the five-day meeting. 

Wednesday, July 31 (Day Two)

There’s a £1 million prize fund available for the Sussex Stakes, the big Group 1 race that takes place on day 2 of Glorious Goodwood. For many, this is not only the race of the festival, but also the occasion, with many celebrities attending on day 2. 

Thursday, August 1 (Day Three)

Like day 2, day 3 is a significant attraction because it’s Ladies Day. But, running alongside the occasion is another Group 1 race and the final Group 1 of the meeting – the Nassau Stakes. It’s always a competitive renewal. 

Friday, August 2 (Day Four)

It may not be a Group 1 race, but day 4 of the Qatar Goodwood Festival stages the King George Qatar Stakes, which is a race where prestige is very much on the line in what is a high-stakes race across the flat. Day 4 is also a day where attendees can take in live music. 

Saturday, August 3 (Day Five)

Day 5 may be the final day, but there’s a fun atmosphere from start to finish. As far as the racing goes, the six-furlong handicap known as the Stewards Cup is staged, with the day fitting called Stewards’ Cup Day. There’s plenty of entertainment provided throughout. 

What Is The Main Day Of Glorious Goodwood?

As far as the racing goes at Glorious Goodwood, the main day will be very much dependent on which of the three Group 1 races takes your fancy. Group 1 races are stages on day 1, day 2 and day 3 of the festival, and either of the three days stand out for this very reason. In the eyes of many, day 1 and the Goodwood Cup or day 2 and the Sussex Stakes are the main offerings. 

How Many Races Are Ran At Glorious Goodwood?

There are three Group 1 races, which is the top-level of flat races, run at Glorious Goodwood. They are the Goodwood Cup on day 1, Sussex Stakes on day 2 and Nassau Stakes on day 3. 

However, over the course of the Qatar Goodwood Festival itself, and based on the 2023 meeting, there are usually a total of thirty-seven races run across the five days. Some days feature eight races, and some seven.
