The Goodwood History

The Goodwood was first run in 1881 as the Goodwood Handicap, with the curiously named D.O.D. taking out the inaugural running.

The race was run as a handicap for its first 121 years. This changed in 2007, necessitating the name change to The Goodwood. It was awarded Group One status in 1980.

Modern day champions Takeover Target and Black Caviar were both successful in the race.

Walter Hickenbotham has the record for the most wins as a trainer with five (1901,1902, 1906, 1901, 1910); Johnny Letts holds the jockeys' record with five wins (1961, 1972, 1973, 1977, 1984), his first coming at just 17 years of age.

Notable winners: Santa Ana Lane, Black Heart Bart, Platelet, Black Caviar, Takeover Target, Glamour Puss, Super Elegant, Bomber Bill, Royal Gem, Aurie's Star and more..

The Goodwood Scratchings

We'll advise you on The Goodwood 2025 scratchings when they're declared on the Saturday morning before the race.

Scratchings are always a possibility in racing, no matter which race a horse is contesting, whether it be a Group 1 or BM58.

These scratchings can occur in the days leading up to a race, on race morning or even in the minutes before a race.

The trainer's decision on scratching a horse will often depend on several factors like the nature of the horse or the status of the track. Sometimes these scratchings can be tactical as well, with the trainer opting to run their horse in an easier event or a race where the barrier draw is more favourable to the horse.

If you've placed a Win/Place bet on horse in race (with TAB or another bookie) and your runner is scratched, you can get a refund equal to the value of your bet.

We're always here to show you how to bet on the The Goodwood 2025.
