Glorious Goodwood racing tips: Best bets and odds for day two
Wednesday's Glorious Goodwood tips Field Of Gold (Goodwood, 15.05) – 2pt win @ 2/5 (William Hill) Mdawi (Goodwood, 13.20) – 0.5pt each-way @ 16/1 (Betfred) Tabiti (Goodwood, 13.55) – 1pt win @ 7/2 (Bet365) Military Code (Goodwood, 14.30) – 0.5pt each-way @ 5/1 (Bet365) Ashariba (Goodwood, 15.45) – 0.5pt each-way @ 15/2 (William Hill) Zelaina (Goodwood, 16.20) – 1pt win @ 10/11 (William Hill) Native Warrior (Goodwood, 16.55) – 0.5pt each-way @ 7/1 (Ladbrokes) Visit Qatar Sussex Stakes tips – 15.05 Goodwood While everyone loves the Goodwood Cup, if there's one race that is talked about in the build-up to Glorious Goodwood, this would be it. A Group 1 contest for three-year-olds and upwards, some of the best milers ever trained have won it. Field Of Gold may be on his way to become one of those. After losing out to Ruling Court in the 2,000 Guineas, he went to the Curragh and won the Irish equivalent, before a dominant performance to win Royal Ascot's Group 1 St James's Palace Stakes by more than three lengths from Henri Matisse, who reopposes here. He won't be much of a price on betting sites but the Kingman colt can give John Gosden, now training alongside son Thady, his first winner in the race since Too Darn Hot in 2019. Coral Pipped At The Post Winners Handicap tips – 13.20 Goodwood The curtain is raised on day two with this 1m4f handicap. Sing Us A Song didn't have the pace when the tap was turned on at Royal Ascot. He'd shown some ability in his two previous wins and you wouldn't rule out him getting back on track. However, he's a fairly skinny price given that latest effort and a much more interesting runner at the prices looks to be Charlie Johnston-trained Mdawi. The Wootton Bassett colt won a modest Southwell novice event before going close on his handicap debut at Haydock. He stepped up on that when showing a really good attitude to win from the front at Doncaster last time, over a similar trip to this. That can be marked up and he could have in lightly here with just a 4lb rise. At 16/1 on horse racing betting sites we can take the chance on an each-way bet that he can handle this rise in grade. HKJC World Pool Oak Tree Stakes tips – 13.55 Goodwood Tabiti can assert her authority on this Group 3 fillies' contest over 7f. The Kingman filly did not race until August of her juvenile season, promptly winning on debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) and then dropped back successfully in trip to land the Group 3 Dick Pool Fillies' Stakes at Salisbury (good to soft) a month later. Sent off at 11/2 in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile back at Newmarket's October meeting, she never really got in a blow but she ran a cracker on her reappearance at Royal Ascot, finishing a two-length third in the Sandringham, when sporting first-time blinkers. That effort was further evidence of improvement in a big field contest, given she carried topweight and she can take advantage of the age allowance she receives and win again. HKJC World Pool Molecomb Stakes tips – 14.30 Goodwood Irish raider Lady Iman drops in trip for this after running really well to win a Naas Group 3 over 6f and then finish second in the Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes at the Curragh last time, over the same trip. She'll be relying on those up front to cut each other's throats and then come late on the scene and swoop to conquer. The favourite is certainly not short of pace but nor is the Charlie Appleby-trained colt, Military Code. The Godolphin-owned juvenile won his first two starts at Newmarket and Ascot over 5f, before he flopped when upped to 6f in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. He put that to bed with a close second in the Listed Dragon Stakes at Sandown last time, back over 5f. The front pair were clear there and he looks the proverbial each-way bet to nothing at 5/1 in the latest Glorious Goodwood odds. British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies' Handicap tips – 15.45 Goodwood This looks wide open on paper with the layers going 5/1 the field at the time of writing. One who should be heavily involved is Ashariba. David Menuisier's filly is 1lb lower than when a close fifth at Newcastle last time. She looks best when somewhere close to the pace, as she showed when scoring over a similar trip at Newmarket last October. Unlucky not to get the breaks when she needed them at Epsom on her reappearance, she was much better despite that defeat last time and we should get some value about her chance, with the market as it is. The one nagging doubt is that she's so far raced only on ground slower than good but it's not forecast as fast at Goodwood and she looks worth siding with each-way. British Stallion Studs EBF Alice Keppel Fillies' Conditions Stakes tips – 16.20 Goodwood Zelaina would have to be a pretty confident choice here. Karl Burke's filly was well found in the market at Nottingham on debut, when she made all to see off the promising Secret Oath in decisive fashion. Pitched straight in at Group 2 level at Royal Ascot, she showed plenty of pace in the Queen Mary, before succumbing late on. That looked an above average renewal and she was far from disgraced in finishing eighth of 23. Dropped in class for this contest, she can make it count with another success. World Pool Bet With The tote Handicap tips – 16.55 Goodwood No stranger to big festival winners, trainer Karl Burke can pull off a double in successive races with Native Warrior. The Wootton Bassett gelding went close over 1m1f at this meeting last year on the back of a good third in Royal Ascot's Britannia Handicap. Not at his best on slow ground at Doncaster on his reappearance, he was back in better form when second over 1m at Windsor next time, when conditions were quicker. It looked like an interesting play to drop him back to 7f and fit a visor at Newcastle last time. He came from off the pace there, doing his best work late on to beat Dosman in what was a career best. The Burke team look to be following the old adage 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' and are keeping the four-year-old to this trip and retaining the headgear. He's only gone up 3lb for that win and therefore still looks well treated. He's a big player.

Racing Victoria stewards probe The Storyteller stomach-tubing allegation against Pakenham trainer John Leek Jr
Racing Victoria stewards are investigating Pakenham trainer John Leek Jr in relation to alleged race day treatment of a horse, The Storyteller. The Storyteller was scratched by Order of Stewards last Thursday from a 3100m Benchmark 70 at Warrnambool after Leek Jnr was intercepted roadside en route to the track. Race day stewards opened and adjourned an inquiry into the 'circumstances surrounding the late scratching' of The Storyteller, a $4.40 chance at the time in pre-race markets. Racing Victoria (RV) has confirmed The Storyteller-Leek Jnr investigation remains ongoing. Leek Jnr politely declined to comment on the stewards' inquiry and allegations when contacted by this masthead on Tuesday, in respect of the 'ongoing investigation'. This masthead established RV investigative and intelligence unit stewards, Compliance Assurance Team (CAT), approached Leek Jnr parked roadside near Terang last Thursday. Leek Jnr was allegedly found in possession of equipment which could be used for stomach-tubing the horse. This masthead understands roadside comments from Leek Jnr form part of the stewards' evidence. The CAT stewards wear police-style standard body cameras during integrity operations. This masthead does not suggest Leek Jnr is guilty of any alleged breach, only that RV stewards are investigating an event roadside, which led to an ordered withdrawal of The Storyteller last Thursday. The Storyteller turns the tables on Tishman in a hard-fought battle in the straight ðŸ'� @DanielStack33 — (@Racing) July 6, 2025 • RV would not be drawn on whether the CAT team targeted Leek Jnr specifically, as part of a regular covert surveillance operations, or coincidently drove past the parked horse float at the opportune time. The CAT stewards conduct random and targeted investigations to uphold Victorian racing integrity. Under Australian Rules of Racing (AR255) stomach-tubing or being involved in such activity is banned on the day of a race, trial or jumpout, without stewards' permission. The process involves a tube being fed through a horse's nose, down the throat and into the stomach, to administer sodium-bicarbonate dissolved in water. The 'milkshake' is said to reduce lactic acid and help a horse run further with less fatigue. A minimum 12-month disqualification is mandatory, in absence of special circumstances, if a person is found guilty of 'stomach-tubing or attempted stomach-tubing' on race day or one clear day prior. The Storyteller has an acceptance to race in a 2238m Benchmark 64 on Thursday at Sale. The four-year-old Roc De Cambes gelding, purchased for $25,000 out of an online sale in late April, has won three of five starts and more than $60,000 prizemoney for part-owner Leek Jnr and connections since the digital auction.

Nikola Jokić cries tears of joy, takes champagne shower after his horse wins race in Serbia
Much was made about Nikola Jokić's stoic reaction to winning the 2023 NBA championship. This is not that. Jokić, whose love of his horses is well-documented, watched one of them win a race in his home country of Serbia on Sunday. Arena Sport TV documented the action and Jokić's reaction in a video that the Denver Nuggets shared Sunday afternoon. Jokić let the emotions fly. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] After his horse crossed the finish line, Jokić put his head in his hands in tears. He then hopped a fence to access the track, still in tears as he approached his horse and his driver with his arms wide open. He then shared a hug with the driver and gave his horse a pat on the back. The tears kept flowing as he walked with his team to the celebration circle. There, Jokić was in charge of the magnum bottle of champagne. He popped the cork, then sprayed down his team, horse included. He then proceeded to pour champagne on the heads of his team members while saving the final champagne shower for himself. It was a display of unbridled joy. Cue up Jokić's stoic reaction in the immediate aftermath of leading the Nuggets to the NBA championship in 2023: "It's good," Jokić told ESPN when asked how it feels to win his first championship. "The job is done. We can go home now." This reaction resulted in jokes about how much Jokić does or doesn't care about basketball. Which were, of course, silly. Jokić has been the best basketball player in the world for several years running. He's a three-time MVP and a two-time Olympic medalist in addition to being an NBA champion. Of course he cares about basketball. A lot. One doesn't reach his level without caring. And he did let his guard down in the ensuing celebrations in the Nuggets locker room ... : ... and again during Denver's championship parade: But it's fair to say that Jokić's love for his horses and their racing success holds an unparalleled place in his heart. Nothing — at least in public — seems to come close.
