History

In 2007 the race conditions were set weights and penalties after previously being a handicap race throughout its 121-year history and was renamed The Goodwood from Goodwood Handicap. The event is the richest sprint race in autumn in Adelaide with $502,250 in prize money. [1] The race was a principal race until 1980 when it was granted Group 1 status. [1] In the years between 18811885 the distance was one mile. [2]
The race has always attracted high calibre sprinters. Recently such champions as Black Caviar and Takeover Target have won the race who have gone on to win overseas. [1] Two horses have won the race twice with Mostyn (1894–95) and Musket Belle (1911–12). [3] Aurie's Star which won the race in 1940, had in previous seasons taken out the Oakleigh Plate twice and the VRC Newmarket Handicap. [3]

The race record time was set by Spectrum in 1998 in a time of 1:08.33. [2]
