The Goodwood is a Group 1 race for open class horses conducted by the South Australian Jockey Club at Morphettville.

The Goodwood was first run in 1881 and was won by D.O.D.

The Goodwood is run over 1200m under Set Weights and Penalties conditions.

The girls won four on the trot from 2010 to 2013.

In the last 20 years only four winners haven't been trained in Victoria – Let Go Thommo, Takeover Target, Trekking and Savatoxl.

Editions over the last 30 odd years have been great for newcomers at the time to the G1 ranks for jockeys - M Pegus, B Park, A Spiteri, D Holland, M Carson, D Taggart, J Holder, T Pannell.

With the dog leg start like the Caulfield 1200m, barriers aren't as important.

In 2017 Lindsay Park got an ex-Perth horse Vega Magic to fly first up and win. He'd come back in the Spring and take out the Memsie Stakes at G1 before starting favourite in the inaugural running of The Everest where he was second.

A year on Santa Ana Lane, already a G1 winner, won the Goodwood then the Stradbroke then in the Spring was hard in the betting in the Everest. He backed it up by winning the VRC Sprint Classic at Flemington and then the TJ Smith at Randwick in the Autumn.

Trekking would continue that run of Everest horses in 2020 to have taken this out but he won it after running in the big one.

Savatoxl was a former Northern Territory trained horse who was considered a Darwin Cup horse less than two years ago but he'd win a G1 1200m sprint in 2021.

In 2023, the Goodwood was worth $502,250.

Notable winners of the Goodwood include Aurie's Star (1940), Romantic Dream (1977), Boardwalk Angel (1989), Euclase (1992), Bomber Bill (2003), Takeover Target (2009), Black Caviar (2012), Black Heart Bart (2016), Vega Magic (2017), Santa Ana Lane (2018) and Trekking (2020).

The 2023 Goodwood was won by Royal Merchant from Another Award and Zapateo.
