Ground update @Goodwood_Races & MANNING AND QUEALLY BANNED

GROUND UPDATE

The going remains Good to Soft overnight after day two of Glorious Goodwood although clerk of the course Seamus Buckley could see that description changing tomorrow.

"We are not forecast to get any rain before Friday and if that's the case then I could see the going changing tomorrow to Good to Soft, Good in places, or Good, Good to Soft in places.

"We had fine drizzle this morning that didn't even amount to a millimetre of rain so I left the going as Good to Soft, which the jockeys agreed with. The GoingStick reading has gone from 6.8 to 7.2 so it has quickened up a bit.

"Tonight we will be taking down the far running rail to provide fresh ground for the last three furlongs from the home bend to the winning post."

Reflecting on the QIPCO Sussex Stakes, Buckley added: "We were privileged to see such a wonderful race as the QIPCO Sussex Stakes and it turned out to be just what we had hoped - the duel on the downs.

"The time of the race on that ground was amazing and I feel we saw two exceptionally good horses. To have come within a second of the course record on that ground was a fantastic effort."

MANNING AND QUEALLY BANNED

Kevin Manning was banned for four days (August 14, 15, 16 and 17) following his ride on second-placed Dawn Approach in the QIPCO Sussex Stakes. He was found to have used his whip above the permitted level.

Tom Queally was banned for one day (August 14) following his ride on third-placed Spillway in the Neptune Investment Management Gordon Stakes. The stewards found him guilty of careless riding after interference with Secret Number (5th).
