Who wins the King George Qatar Stakes?

31 Jul, 2025

Friday of Glorious Goodwood brings us the best sprint race of the festival - it’s a 5f dash for the line, and Asfoora (11/4) is back for more after narrowly losing out to Big Evs in last year’s contest. She’s the favourite tomorrow, and probably justifiably so – we can see she posted a score of 845 when coming 2nd in the race last year and this is certainly the standout score of the field given it was achieved over course and distance.
