Goodwood Racecourse stages its Family Race Day today (Sunday 11 June), one of the highlight afternoons of the season. The afternoon’s fun and games off the track are supplemented by a brace of valuable listed contests on the track.

The card has attracted strong entries with leading jockeys set to line up at Goodwood.

The programme features two Listed contests, the 17th running of The William Hill Tapster Stakes and new to Goodwood, the inaugural running of The Weatherbys/British EBF Agnes Keyser Fillies' Stakes. The 10-furlong contest for three-year-old fillies previously run at Newbury Racecourse as the Abingdon Stakes, now features as part of the Goodwood Race programme.

Away from the racecourse there are plenty of activities to ensure all the family have an enjoyable day. With face painting, a magician, alongside a traditional fairground that includes a carousel, helter-skelter, big wheel and much more.
