I am really hopeful you all enjoyed last month’s article, but October looks as good a time as any to go off on a tangent for a change, and I have come up with something a little left field for you, racing folklore! I suspect I am not the only one here who was brought…
Glorious Goodwood takes place this year from Tuesday July 26th to Saturday July 30th. The 5 day Festival will be sponsored by Qatar and is considered one of the highlights of the British Flat racing season.
