The Design of the Goodwood Racing Trophies
Goodwood has played host to the Sport of Kings for over 200 years. Horseracing has been a part of Goodwood since 1802, when the 3rd Duke of Richmond introduced the sport for the amusement of local army officers. Fast forward 200 years and Goodwood's racing season now consists of 19 unique racedays, including the flagship event, the Qatar Goodwood Festival, affectionately known as 'Glorious Goodwood'.
From its tentative launch as a flat horseracing course for local officers by the third Duke of Richmond in 1802, to its colourful programme of events, fixtures, weddings and entertaining, Goodwood is one of Britain’s great estates and historic homes.

Goodwood
BRIEF
To put together a range of customised products exclusively for owners, trainers, jockeys and breeders to be presented for specific races throughout the season.
DESIGN
To incorporate the horses etched around the bowl which are inspired by the famous, painting by George Stubbs entitled 'Racehorses exercising at Goodwood' (1759-60). It hangs in the front hall of Goodwood House and depicts the Duchess of Richmond, Richard Buckner (the estate steward) and Lady George Lennox, watching three horses exercising, hooded and blanketed in the Richmond livery. The spire of Chichester Cathedral can be seen in the background with the Isle of Wight beyond. These three horses were the inspiration behind our Goodwood.
