Sussex Stakes
The Aidan O’Brien trained Rip van Winkle won the Sussex Stakes in 2009 after being set off as the 6/4 favourite for the race. It is a race which the O’Brien team traditionally do well in and we can expect him to have plenty to say in the outcome of this year’s race. However, it is the Richard Hannon trained Canford Cliffs who is expected to go off as the race favourite.
Nassau Stakes
The Nassaus Stakes is the Glorious Goodwood Betting 2010 crescendo, taking place on the final day of the festival. Last year the winner of the race was the Henry Cecil trained Midday who went on to win the Breeders Cup in Santa Anita and prove that the race can produce some real champions.
The race often sees an inflated betting volume as punters look to recuperate any losses from the week or otherwise go all out for one big win with their accumulated winnings.
