How to Bet on Glorious Goodwood Festival

What is the Glorious Goodwood Festival? 

Highly anticipated each summer in the UK, Glorious Goodwood features racing across five days. It is held at Goodwood Racecourse and is known for embracing "quintessentially British style", with fashion awards and plenty of other action happening at the racecourse alongside the racing itself.

Its most prominent races include the Sussex Stakes, the Goodwood Cup Stakes, and the Nassau Stakes, three Group 1s that anchor a week of high-class racing.

For the other unmissable dates on the racing calendar, our guide to the Grand National and our guide to the Cheltenham Festival are both well worth reading.

Popular Glorious Goodwood Betting Markets

Win

One of the most popular and easiest ways to bet on racing is by placing a win bet. This involves simply betting on the horse that you think will win a particular race. Place your money on your chosen runner, and if they cross the line first, your bet should be a success.

Each Way

Similar to Win bets, simply place a bet on the horse that you think will win the race and who will place in the race. This is two bets in one, offering more opportunities for success. Bookmakers tend to offer places for the first three horses to finish, but this can sometimes be more.

Each Way Extra

A great way for punters to have multiple chances of their selection being a success, Each Way Extra bets allow bettors to increase or decrease the number of places in a race when betting each way. Add places for a reduced price, or remove places and increase the odds available on your selection.

Place Bets

A really straightforward way to bet on the races, Place bets involve punters wagering on a horse to place in a race. Depending on the number of runners in a race, this is in the first three places. With three chances of success, these are a popular bet on the Glorious Goodwood Festival.

Forecast/Tricast

Another popular way to bet on horse racing and Glorious Goodwood is by placing Forecast or Tricast bets. A forecast bet involves punters selecting horses to finish 1st and 2nd, and getting these right, in the correct order. A Tricast is the same, but instead it is picking three horses instead of two.
