| What | Glorious Goodwood 2022 |
| Where | Goodwood Racecourse, Selhurstpark Rd, Chichester PO18 0PS, United Kingdom |
| When | 26 – 30 June 2022 |
In 2022 the five-day meeting runs from Tuesday 26th July until Saturday 30th July and features a host of group-race action that brings together some of the star thoroughbreds from the United Kingdom, Ireland, continental Europe and further afield.
For five days in summer sunshine the racecourse at Goodwood is awash with the latest in style and fashion, while adhering to the strong tradition of the Glorious Goodwood experience.
This is truly a festival like no other and a staple of British racing with group-race action and tough handicaps for punters to try and solve.
Here’s an overview of the five days of Glorious Goodwood and what you can expect to see:
Day one is all about the stayers’ and the stamina-sapping Goodwood Cup over two-miles, a Group 1 contest offering a purse of £500,000. John Gosden’s superstar Stradivarius holds the record for the most victories in this prestigious race.
The supporting acts include a pair of Group 2 races in the Lennox Stakes and the Vintage Stakes, which completes a hat-trick of high quality races to kick-start Glorious Goodwood.

The Group 1 Sussex Stakes is the main attraction on day two of Glorious Goodwood and it offers a chance for the Classic generation to take on their elders in a one-mile tussle. Amongst the most memorable of recent renewals of this great race was the 2011 ‘Duel on the Downs’ when the great Frankel dispatched reigning champion Canford Cliffs. The late Sir Henry Cecil’s charge would emerge victorious again a year later and remains the only dual winner of the Sussex Stakes.
The Group 2 Molecomb Stakes also features on Wednesday, a real speed test for the two-year-olds over the straight five furlongs that has been won by the likes of Brown Sugar, Kachy and Liberty Beach in recent times.

The Group 2 Lillie Langtry Stakes over a mile is relatively new (2003) and finds its most famous winner to date in Simple Verse, Ralph Beckett’s charge grabbing this prize en route to St Leger glory at Doncaster as a three-year-old.
