Racing Tips for Goodwood Races
Pay attention to the draw. At Goodwood, horses drawn on the inside of the track have an advantage, as the course is narrow and there is a long straight before the first bend. However, this does not mean that horses drawn on the outside cannot win � they just may have to work harder to get to the front.
Consider the distance. Goodwood's races range from 5 furlongs to 2 miles, so it is important to consider a horse's suitability for the distance they are racing. Look at their past performances and see how they have fared over similar distances.
Consider the going. The going at Goodwood can vary greatly, from soft to firm. It is important to consider how a horse has performed on different going in the past, as this can greatly affect their chances of success.
Look at the form. As with any race, it is important to consider a horse's recent form. Look at their last few races and see how they have performed, as well as any changes in weight or jockey that may affect their chances.
