Glorious Goodwood - A day at the races

Friday 01 August 2008, Goodwood Racecourse, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18 0PX

A decadent day at the races...

Widely regarded as the world’s most beautiful racecourse, Goodwood really is the perfect place to enjoy horse racing and socialising at its very best.

Intellect offers you the opportunity to welcome your guests in the exclusive hospitality village within the Richmond Enclosure, situated beyond the winning post. The Horseshoe Pavilions have a unique café atmosphere with a jazz band to entertain guests between races.

The highlight of the day is the 'Totesport Mile', which was first run in 1987. To help guests increase their chances of winning, we have our own racing tipster Mike Cattermole, who will share his expert knowledge and give insider tips! He will also be joined by ex-jockey and Goodwood winner John Reid MBE who will give insider knowledge and tips to guests. You will have the opportunity to meet both guests and to go to the paddocks with them.

Glorious Goodwood is part of Britain's horse racing heritage, epitomising tradition, history and success. Now in its third century of racing, Goodwood continues to offer top flight sporting entertainment and is the perfect venue to entertain clients and develop business relationships.

This year we will be joined by Racing Tipster Mike Cattermole who will have a brief interview with our second guest for the day, jockey John Reid.

Mike Cattermole
Mike Cattermole has been involved in racing for many years. His interest in horseracing is something he inherited from his father who was a keen racegoer. Mike has worked for The Racing Channel, Timeform and The Sporting Life and is a racecourse commentator.

Mike will conduct the ‘Run through the racecard’ speech and interview John Reid MBE. He will then set the scene for the day and join all guests for lunch.

John Reid
John Reid MBE retired from race riding in 2001 following a career which spanned almost three decades. John rode his first winner at Goodwood in May 1973 on Eyry. He went on to win four British Classic races including the 1992 Derby on Dr Devious.

John will accompany guests to the paddock, weighing room and racecourse as well as giving his insight into the inside world of a top jockey.
