Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club (QREC) has entered a ten-year sponsorship deal with Britain’s Glorious Goodwood – now rebranded the Qatar Goodwood Festival. Under the deal, total prize money for the fixture will soar to £4.5m ($6.8m) (£700,000 more than in 2014), with more than £2m going into the eight key races, and the Qataris have committed to increasing the pot year on year. The Group 1 Qatar Sussex Stakes, scheduled for 29 July, has a total prize fund of £1m, making it one of the most valuable mile races in the world.
