It has been a tough few years for the festival, which was due to welcome 5,000 race-goers through its gates on the final day of 2020, but the government scrapped those plans a day before it was due to go ahead due to the pandemic.
Goodwood managing director Adam Waterworth said at the time that the U-turn had cost the track a “six-figure sum” but the cost to racing was much, much higher.
“It’s cost us six figures, but it was never an exercise in making money, it was about proving we could get crowds back,” he said.
The Duke of Richmond was among the best-dressed guests of the day.
Some race-goers opted for classic linen looks.

“The loss is huge in a year in which there are no more profits and the loss figure is increasing. The crowds are what we care about.
‘Between 70 and 80 percent of our income is directly due to people coming through the doors. It’s a huge relief because there was a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel after thinking that we had actually made it and that we would be drawing crowds again.’
Waterworth revealed to Sportsmail that the cancellation of the event actually cost Goodwood more than £250,000 and confirmed that the track lost millions by not having any racing fans at all for the entire season.
Goodwood held just 13 days of racing (six fewer than usual) in 2020 due to rescheduling and all were run without any paying punters.
