On Thursday 31 July, 12 inspirational women will become jockeys for the day as they come under starters’ orders at the Qatar Goodwood Festival, presented by Visit Qatar.
The Markel Magnolia Cup has raised more than £2.7 million for charitable causes since its inception in 2011. This year, the race will support The King’s Trust International’s Project Lehar.
The initiative operates in the Indian states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, with a focus on empowering adolescent girls through vocational training, skills development and promoting gender equality within their communities.
Currently, 15 riders are in the running to race down Goodwood’s home straight, with the final 12 to be finalised after the British Racing School standard riding and fitness assessments, which will take place in May.
The race was conceived to overcome the boundaries within sport and, more specifically, horse racing, creating an inclusive community in support of women, their abilities and well-being.
The majority of this year’s line-up began as novice riders, with some never having ridden a racehorse until beginning their training. To pass the British Racing School’s fitness assessments requires total commitment, in addition to sheer determination and skill to compete and hopefully win.
In the tradition of the race and its values, Goodwood selects a female-led fashion brand to create a collection of bespoke silks for the riders to wear, and in the past has worked with Lisou, Alice Temperley, and Vivienne Westwood.
This year’s vintage-inspired designs have been curated by London-based fashion house RIXO, which is also Goodwood’s 2025 Talent in Fashion Award winner.
Goodwood Racecourse Director, James Crespi, said: “For over two hundred years, Goodwood has been synonymous with horseracing, much in the same way as Wimbledon is with tennis and Lord’s with cricket. Every year the inspirational women who take part in the Markel Magnolia Cup become part of our incredible story and it’s something we’re immensely proud of. Their grit and determination are rewarded with due glory and we’re already looking forward to seeing the line-up flying down the Goodwood straight in July.”
