The Goodwood is a South Australian Jockey Club Group 1 Thoroughbred horse race, run at set weights with penalties, over a distance of 1200 metres at Morphettville Racecourse, Adelaide, Australia in the SAJC Autumn Carnival.[1]
Race history
In 2007 the race conditions were set weights and penalties after previously being a handicap race throughout its 121-year history and was renamed The Goodwood from Goodwood Handicap. The event is the richest sprint race in autumn in Adelaide with $500,000 in prize money.[1] The race was a principal race until 1980 when it was granted Group 1 status.[1] In the years between 1881–1885 the distance was one mile.[2]
The race has always attracted high calibre sprinters. Recently such champions as Black Caviar and Takeover Target have won the race who have gone on to win overseas.[1] Two horses have won the race twice with Mostyn (1894–95) and Musket Belle (1911–12).[3] Aurie's Star won the race in 1940 had in previous seasons taken out the Oakleigh Plate twice and the VRC Newmarket Handicap.[3]
Race records
The leading trainer with five wins is Walter Hickenbotham and they were achieved in the first decade of the twentieth century.[3] (1901, 1902, 1906, 1909, 1910)[2] South Australian jockey John Letts holds the record with five wins in the event.[3] (1961, 1972, 1973, 1977, 1984)[2]
The race record time was set by Spectrum in 1995 in a time of 1:08.33.[2]
