Glorious Goodwood Betting 2011

There is nothing better to do on a fine summer's day than head down to one of the most famous racecourses in the world and enjoy a day of fine flat racing. Glorious Goodwood is a five day festival that offers just this whether it is in the middle of the week or on the last day after a hard week at work.

Glorious Goodwood betting 2011 will cover the five days of the festival from Tuesday July 26 to Saturday July 30. It is one of the busiest times of the year for bookmakers and professional punters alike who jostle with each other to try and make the most money.

Glorious Goodwood betting 2011 also covers some of the most famous races in flat racing. These races attract an excess of one hundred thousand people to Goodwood to soak in the atmosphere, sip the cool champagne and back a winner in a showpiece race.

Glorious Goodwood Day One Betting

Glorious Goodwood day one betting always gets off to a good start as punters look to take advantage of many Goodwood Festival Betting markets. A huge crowd is normally drawn in to savour everything which is on offer and it's arguably the day where the bookmakers are at their most enthusiastic.

There are seven races in total on the first day with the biggest being the Betfair Cup which is the race that trainers traditionally hold their budding talent back for. The Summer Season Stakes is also one of the best races on day one of Goodwood because it is a high class handicap contest.

Glorious Goodwood Day Two Betting

Glorious Goodwood day two betting is all about the Sussex Stakes race in the middle of the day. This is a Class 1 contest over a flat mile which retains the interest of the punters and guarantees a big field of runners.

The Sussex Stakes are backed up by a number of good races but the Maiden Fillies' Stakes is one of the most exciting. This is because this Horse Racing Betting field covers a number of horses running in their first serious professional races. This is one of the few races at Goodwood where the future stars can be seen making debuts.

Glorious Goodwood Day Three

Glorious Goodwood day three is home to two of the showpiece races of the entire Goodwood Festival. Glorious Goodwood day three sees the King George Stakes and Goodwood Cup run back to back early on the race card.

The Goodwood Cup is run over two miles which makes it one of the longer races over the five days. This means horses need more than bursts of speed and it's a strong test of stamina as well as timing and execution on the part of the jockeys in the race.

Day Four of Goodwood

Day four of Goodwood sacrifices absolutely nothing in terms of the quality of racing. The fourth day is also on a Friday meaning a large crowd generally gathers together over the course of the afternoon as the weekend approaches.

The big races on day four of Goodwood are the Totesport Mile and the Richmond Stakes. The Richmond Stakes is a high quality six furlong sprint which is a sought after title for a lot of trainers in flat racing.

The Totesport Mile is one of the harder Sports Betting markets to predict. The race is also known as the Golden Mile and is historic for having a long line of runners that split down either side of the race track as they head towards the finishing post.

Glorious Goodwood Finale

The final day of the Goodwood Festival sees the biggest crowds and the most business in a betting sense. Punters have to try and make back the money they have lost and it's the last chance for the bookies to get in some action.

The two races that form the big Glorious Goodwood finale are the Nassau Stakes and the Stewards Cup. The Nassau Stakes is a classic test of resilience over one mile and two furlongs and the Stewards Cup is a six furlong sprint which is one of the oldest races over the five days.

Glorious Goodwood Free Bets

Glorious Goodwood is massive business in a bookmaking sense. Bookmakers will release Free Bets that are designed specifically for this five day festival. This should encourage punters to have a bet on one of the big races.

Glorious Goodwood free bets are never going to be for massive amounts but it all goes towards what makes this festival special. It is also another chance for the bookmakers and punters to go face to face in battle as the bookies pray for the outsiders to prevail in the face of adversity.

Glorious Goodwood betting 2011 looks set to be the most intense five days of gambling that there has ever been with this festival.
