The Goodwood is a Group 1 race held at Morphettville Racecourse in Adelaide as part of the South Australia Jockey Club’s premier racing carnival. Taking place in May of each year, The Goodwood is a 1200m sprint run under set weights plus penalties and is now worth $750,000 in total prize money, making it one of the most lucrative South Australian races.

For 2020 The Goodwood prize money was reduced to $400,000 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the leading sprint race at the Adelaide Autumn Racing Carnival, the event always attracts a highly competitive field of quality gallopers. Entries may come via a number of earlier races including the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) for fillies & mares at the same track and distance a fortnight earlier.  The latest horses to complete the Robert Sangster Stakes – The Goodwood double were Black Caviar (2012) and Platelet (2013).

The Goodwood 2020 ran on  Saturday May 16, 2020 at Morphettville Racecourse and was won narrowly by the Godolphin-raced Trekking.

The fellow Godolphin-raced Group 1 winner, smart filly Lyre ($16), added value to the trifecta in third.

2020 The Goodwood Field

The Goodwood race field attracts a smart line-up of sprinters, many coming out of lead-up sprint races held in Melbourne or Sydney during the autumn. Alternatively fillies and mares may have a lead-up into The Goodwood at the track and distance two weeks prior in the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m). Brisbane winter racing could also be on the agenda for sprinters in The Goodwood field.

The official The Goodwood 2020 field and barriers are set for release on the Tuesday of race week and will be announced below.

The 2020 The Goodwood final field attracted 15 sprinters including the well-backed favourite Gytrash coming off a lead-up win at the track drawn wide out in barrier 12. The 2018 champion Santa Ana Lane (10) carries top weight chasing a second The Goodwood win, while Godolphin’s star sprinter Trekking drew well in barrier six.

The Goodwood History

D.O.D. was the inaugural Goodwood winner in 1881 when it was a principal race run over six furlongs. From 1886 to 1888 the race was not held but resumed the next year in 1889 under the same status and distance. In 1942 and 1943 the race did not take place again. The length was converted to 1200m in 1973 and the race?s status was lifted to Group 1 in 1980. Up until 2007 the race was run as a handicap event known as the Goodwood Handicap.

Notable recent The Goodwood winners include Trekking (2020), Black Heart Bart (2016) and super mare Black Caviar (2012).
