2009 Winner: Takeover Target

The Goodwood is the premier sprint event of the Adelaide autumn racing carnival and always attracts a strong contingent of well above average gallopers. The race was formerly a handicap event up until 2007, when it became a set weights & penalty race, which tends to favour the better performed horses entered.

Races such as the RN Irwin Stakes or DC Mackay Stakes are good guides to this event and the Goodwood is a time honoured race in Adelaide. I Am Invincible (2nd in 2009) won the DC Mackay Stakes prior to finishing runner-up in this race.

Some more than handy gallopers have saluted in the Goodwood and horses of the calibre of Takeover Target (2009), Super Elegant (2004), Bomber Bill (2003), Sword (1996), Euclase (1992) and Boardwalk Angel (1989) have won this race.

Champion galloper Takeover Target (2009) won the Gr1 TJ Smith Stakes at Randwick on Sydney Cup Day on his way to winning this event and recent Goodwood winners have been Shadoways (2008) and Let Go Thommo (2007).
