Plus, what’s a horse’s favourite biscuit?

 

 

 

 
Qatar Goodwood Festival

The Qatar Goodwood Festival looked a little different this year and our racegoers were dearly missed. However, we hope you enjoyed the excellent ITV coverage and getting involved with #GloriousAtHome.

 

With highlights including record breaking wins, a best-dressed competition for our at-home racegoers and the dilemma of what to do with 13,500 strawberries when your pilot event is cancelled – it’s safe to say that 2020’s ‘Glorious Goodwood’ will go down in history.

 

We’ve put together a run-down of the best moments from our flagship event this year, which we hope will brighten your day.
