Glorious Goodwood - £35.00

Glorious Goodwood Packing and postage: £5.49

The location of Goodwood Racecourse, perched high up on the South Downs with its stunning views towards Chichester Cathedral, the Solent and the Isle of Wight behond, has been charming racegoers for two hundred years.

Glorious Goodwood is the official history of the course's incomparable character. Here are the victories and classic contests in major races like the Goodwood Cup, the Stewards' Cup and the Sussex Stakes, alongside a description of how the Festival Week each July developed such significant social cachet, not least through its regular royal patronage.

The story is punctuated by reminiscences from the jockeys, trainers, punters and commentators who have shared the excitement of racing here, including the late Dick Hern on future Derby winner Troy's victory in the Lanson Champagne Vintage Stakes and Darryl Holland on riding Double Trigger to a third victory in the Goodwood Cup.

Inspired by the great visual impact of the course, the book has drawn on rare images and memorabilia from the Goodwood archives and the best contemporary photography. Glorious Goodwood has been produced in conjunction with the Duke of Richmond and the Racecourse team to create a sumptuous, definitive history of the course in all its glamour and glory.
