Goodwood police welcome in racing's battle against brawls – Talking Horses


Recent fighting has forced the racecourse to have police officers present every raceday for the remainder of the season

As Goodwood starts a three-day meeting, it’s encouraging to read that security has already been tightened up significantly since the brawl at their Saturday meeting earlier this month. Most importantly, there is to be a police presence at every raceday there for the rest of the season.

This could certainly be seen as overkill. I imagine the officers posted to Goodwood for their Sunday fixture in mid-October will have very little to do but try to get the placepot up.
