Glorious Goodwood – betting, tips and preview
One of the highlights of the summer racing season is nearly upon us. It is of course Glorious Goodwood 2016! With a number of big races coming up over the next few days we’ll cut straight to the chase, what have the bookies got to offer?
Glorious Goodwood – Top offer
The pick of our Glorious Goodwood betting offers comes from Bet365, who have this superb rolling risk free bet:
Back any single winner at 4/1 or more on any race televised live on Channel 4 and you can have a risk free bet to the same stake (up to £50*) on the next live Channel 4 race. This offer applies to the FIRST single bet placed by a customer on each live Channel 4 race.
If your risk free bet also wins at odds of 4/1 or more, you qualify for a risk free bet on the next live Channel 4 race. Keep backing those winners and bet365 will keep giving you risk free bets! If your risk free bet loses, your stake (up to £50*) will be refunded to your account.
This offer will not apply where a stake has been fully Cashed Out. Where a stake has been partially Cashed Out, any refund amount or subsequent risk free bet amount will be equal to the remaining active stake. Where more than one selection in the same race is placed on the same bet slip, the first selection is deemed to be the one which is highest on the bet slip. Bets must be paid for and placed in the usual way. Ante-Post bets, Enhanced win bets, Tote/Pari-Mutuel (bets and dividends), and ‘Not to Win’ bets are not applicable for this offer.

Ladies’ Day is the most glamorous day of the meeting, and is truly the place to see and be seen. The Group 2 Qatar Goodwood Cup is the highlight of the seven race card and now worth £300,000. And with two further Group races, the competition on track will be fierce.

The sight of a packed field of horses hurtling at speeds of over 40mph past the Goodwood grandstands makes the £300,000 Group 2 Qatar King George Stakes one of the highlights of the year. Add in three further Group races and Friday of the Qatar Goodwood Festival has to be one of the most enthralling days racing in the entire calendar.

Feature Races: The Qatar Nassau Stakes (British Champions Series) (Group 1) and The Qatar Stewards’ Cup (Handicap).
