2025 The Goodwood Tips
Stay tuned for our insider The Goodwood 2025 Tips on the Adelaide sprint feature this May.
- Each Way: #11 Generosity ($12 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Don’t underestimate GENEROSITY (5) in The Goodwood. This Simon Miller-trained mare was a revelation in the $5 million The Quokka in WA, finishing a close-up third at massive odds. While this is her Adelaide debut, her 1200m form is solid (9:2-3-1) and she brings strong interstate credentials. The significant weight drop to 52.5kg is a major plus, and The Goodwood is a race known for producing unexpected results. Drawn ideally in barrier five with Lucy Fiore aboard, she has the potential to cause a surprise. Each Way.
2025 The Goodwood Field
The Goodwood race field attracts a smart line-up of sprinters, many coming out of lead-up sprint races held in Melbourne or Sydney during the autumn. Alternatively, fillies and mares may have a lead-up into The Goodwood at the track and distance two weeks prior in the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m).
In 2023 the same two mares, Another Award and Zapateo, ran second and third respectively in both the Robert Sangster and The Goodwood results.
In 2024 Climbing Star won the Robert Sangster and ran third in The Goodwood trifecta behind Benedetta who and finished third in the Robert Sangster Stakes.
Brisbane winter racing could also be on the agenda for sprinters in The Goodwood field.
The official The Goodwood 2025 field and barriers are set for release on the Tuesday of race week and will be announced below.

The Goodwood History
D.O.D. was the inaugural Goodwood winner in 1881 when it was a principal race run over six furlongs. From 1886 to 1888 the race was not held but resumed the next year in 1889 under the same status and distance. In 1942 and 1943 the race did not take place again. The length was converted to 1200m in 1973, and the race’s status was lifted to Group 1 in 1980. Up until 2007 the race was run as a handicap event known as the Goodwood Handicap.
Notable recent The Goodwood winners include Trekking (2020), Black Heart Bart (2016) and super mare Black Caviar (2012).
In 2023 Royal Merchant became the first The Goodwood winning filly since Lone Rock (2011).
Reserve Bank (2025) is the last three-year-old The Goodwood winner.
