Glorious Goodwood comes to Cape Town

The Glorious Goodwood Peninsula Stakes will be the second internationally recognised race on the card, along with the L'Ormarins Queen's Plate, the only horserace in South Africa that grants its winner automatic entry to the Breeders' Cup, the world's biggest race day held annually in the US.

"The L'Ormarins Queen's Plate and Glorious Goodwood are the most prestigious and exciting racing events on their respective continents, so this association is well suited to provide the absolute highest standard of race day entertainment," said Adam Waterworth, MD of Goodwood Racecourse.

2014 will also be the first year in which the L'Ormarins Queen's Plate race-day card will hold 12 races as opposed to 10, complemented by glamour, fashion, entertainment, competitions and hospitality.

Tickets for the LQP are on sale via Computicket.
