2026 Glorious Goodwood Trends – Day Four (Fri 31st July)

It's Panama hats, pimms, plus strawberries and cream galore at the start of August with the 5-day Glorious Goodwood Meeting (Tues 28th July to Sat 1st Aug 2026).

As always, the West Sussex track can expect monster crowds throughout the week with a whole host of top-notch contests each day for punters to get stuck into.

So we'll be on-hand throughout the whole meeting to take you through the key trends for each day’s LIVE ITV races.

We continue on Day FOUR with five LIVE ITV races, including the Golden Mile, plus the Group Two King George Stakes - a race the Charles Hills yard have won 5 times in the last 9 years!
