A GUIDE FOR OWNERS & TRAINERS TUESDAY 30 JULY – SATURDAY 3 AUGUST 2019
THE QATAR
GOODWOOD FESTIVAL
Welcome To Goodwood
Proudly boasting an illustrious history and heritage, Goodwood is an inspirational and
unique venue that has often been described as the world’s most beautiful racecourse.
I am delighted that the continuing success of the Qatar Goodwood Festival has culminated in
further race upgrades, most notably The Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes, upgrading to Group 2
status last year. Goodwood has, for more than 200 years, been about the best racing in the
most English of settings, accessible to everyone. Our partnership with Qatar has enabled us
to significantly increase the prize money on offer this and it is, as always, key for us that
this new money does not just sit at the top end but trickles down to the grassroots of
the entire race programme.
Royalty, celebrities, sporting heroes, statesmen and diplomats have all enjoyed visiting
Goodwood. It now gives me great pleasure to invite some of the very best overseas owners
and trainers to be a part of this truly great horseracing Festival and join our ambition to
become the best race week experience in the world.
The Duke of Richmond and Gordon
Owner of Goodwood
Over £5million in prize money will be awarded
over five thrilling days at Goodwood Racecourse
from 30 July – 3 August 2019
The Qatar Goodwood Festival, now in its fifth year, has established itself as one of the most
competitive and entertaining weeks in the international racing calendar. Including the increase
in prize money for the upgraded Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes the total prize purse for the
Festival now exceeds £5.5million and no race will be run for less than £25,000.
Following 2017’s elevation of the Qatar Goodwood Cup to Group 1 status we are very
grateful to the BHA and the European Pattern Committee for supporting and approving the
further development of our race programme. This resulted in the Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes
being upgraded from a Group 3 to a Group 2 contest last year. We hope that this race will
cement its position as part of a high-profile programme for stayers across Europe.
The Qatar Nassau Stakes is the highlight of the Thursday of race week ensuring a focus on
the very best fillies in particular. The supporting card on this day also features the Group 3
Gordon Stakes and will therefore serve to compliment the unique ambience of Ladies’ Day.
The Group 1 Qatar Sussex Stakes is the highlight of the whole week and always serves up a
mouth-watering race with the very best milers in the world sure to line up. We look forward
to seeing the entries for this £1million contest in 2019 with great expectation.
This brochure should include everything that you need to know from the race programme for
the week. If, however, you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact the team
whose details can be found towards the back of this booklet.
We very much hope that your horse(s) will be able to compete at Goodwood and become
part of its great history, alongside which we would love to host you in the unique
setting of the Goodwood Estate.
Yours sincerely,
Alex Eade

handy type of horse, the fluent mover rather than the big, long-striding Round Course: on inside rail

“In terms of beauty in Europe, it’s hard to pick between Goodwood and
Deauville.I think those two tracks are charming, historical. Goodwood with its
panoramic view, and undulating course… it’s just a fantastic place.”

The first stage of the Doha Triple Crown
The Qatar Goodwood Festival hosts the first leg of the prestigious Doha Triple Crown that was initiated in 2015 and carries a prize fund
of £400,000. The series celebrates the passion and investment Qatar has made in horseracing over the past years and reflects Qatar’s culture
and tradition by their continued commitment to their heritage and the Arabian horse.
The Doha Triple Crown’s second stage is the Qatar Arabian World Cup (Gr1PA), held at the celebrated Arc meeting in October. The third
stage for the HH Emir’s Sword (Gr1PA) is run in Doha in February at HH The Emir’s Sword Festival, one of the biggest events on Qatar’s
horse racing calendar that attracts many of the world’s best Purebred Arabians to race. The Doha Triple Crown series unites three of the
most prestigious international Arabian races in the world.
