As a racecourse of
some repute, Goodwood Racecourse is a fantastic location to come and
visit if you are looking for a bit of history in the sport. Based
just outside of West Sussex, this is under control of the Duke of
Richmond and makes a fantastic location to come visit for some
genuine racing. It sees the likes of the Nassau Stakes, the Sussex
Stakes and the prestigious Goodwood Cup take place here.
With the stunning
Iron Age hill for that overlooks the region, this has all the makings
of a truly classic racing facility. While the fog can sometimes ruin
a good vantage point, it’s an incredibly fun place to come and
visit if you are looking for a racecourse that is dripping with
character.
With six furlongs,
it stands out amongst the fairly standard world of UK racing. With an
uphill lfirst furlong and second, it feels extremely different to a
large option of other courses that are used. However, it’s also
known for its extensive number of sharp turns, which creates high
octane races which sees many overtakes and the like.
It’s been a
regularly visited course on the TV, having become a regular on first
the BBC and then ITV Racing. This helped to give the racecourse an
event greater profile, ensuring that it stands out among what is
already a very busy selection.
It sees races from
May to September, starting with the Daisy Warwick Stakes and
finishing up with the Stardom Stakes.
