Talking Horses: Goodwood waits for government all-clear on crowds trial


Goodwood has made little secret of its belief that it would be an ideal venue to trial a limited return of spectators to the track

“At the moment, we’re working on plans A to about W,” Adam Waterworth, Goodwood’s managing director, said on Thursday, 12 days before the start of the track’s biggest meeting of the year. “It’s almost harder to stage an event with nobody here than it is in a normal year with thousands of people.

“It’s working up multiple plans all at once that really takes the time but you’ve got to do it if you’re going to be ready and next week is when we’ll need to know which plan we need to deliver.”
