Representing a wide range of backgrounds, these women have taken on the immense challenge of preparing for a competitive horserace. Their journey has demanded early mornings riding out, rigorous jockey fitness tests, assessments at the British Racing School and months of dedicated training to ensure they are ready for race day.
This year’s field includes an exceptional group of riders whose resilience extends well beyond the saddle. Among them are a breast cancer survivor, a microsurgeon specialising in reconstruction for women following cancer treatment, businesswomen, media personalities, a Riding A Dream Academy graduate and several international competitors.
Ladies’ Day on Thursday 30 July will see the culmination of this remarkable journey, as the 12 amateur jockeys line-up under starter’s orders and race down Goodwood’s famous home straight during the Qatar Goodwood Festival.
The charity race has raised more than £3.5 million since its launch in 2011, supporting children and female focused charities, while continuing to break boundaries for women in racing.
This year, the race will raise funds for Education Above All (EAA) Foundation, a global education non-profit. The foundation transforms the lives of children and young people affected by poverty, conflict and disaster through education and employment opportunities and has supported more than 18 million children and young people across 77 countries since it was established in 2012 by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser.

The jockeys in training for the 2026 Markel Magnolia Cup:
The Duke of Richmond said: “We are very much looking forward to supporting Education Above All Foundation as the charity partner of this year's Markel Magnolia Cup. Over the past 15 years, the Markel Magnolia Cup has become a powerful force for real and lasting change, championing women and raising more than £3.5 million for vital causes.
“I am confident that the generosity of our partners, sponsors and racegoers, as well as the dedication and commitment of our riders, will allow us to deliver meaningful support to Education Above All Foundation. We wish this year’s riders all the best in their training and look forward to seeing them race down Goodwood’s home straight in July.”
