The Goodwood Betting Odds

Saturday 9 May 2026 · Morphettville · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

The Goodwood is a historic race held at Morphettville Racecourse since the nineteenth century and the 2026 renewal looks to be a wide open encounter. Royal Merchant, Benedetta and Reserve Bank are among the recent winners of a race that takes place over 1,200 metres, with Extragalactic potentially the one to beat.

However, there are no less than five horses trading at single figure betting odds. Flying For Fun is another talented horse, with Rey Magnerio having solid credentials and could be worth considering from an each-way point-of-view. Recon and Tycoon Star should also be competitive and it will be interesting to see where the money goes before the off.

2026 The Goodwood Betting Tips

Extragalactic runs for Trent Edmonds and the horse returns to Morphettville after previously finishing second at this Australian track. On that occasion, the runner was a length off the pace in the Sportsbet Tobin Bronze Stakes, with that being a Group Two encounter over six furlongs. It came after an early April success at Caulfield where the 29/10 favourite obliged in a handicap.

Flying For Fun has plenty of experience which could stand the horse in good stead. There was a recent strong effort at Morphettville where a fourth-placed finish was bagged in a big field at odds of 12/1. That was over six furlongs and the most eye-catching performance before this was a victory at Rosehill where the 4/1 shot was able to win by half a length.

Rey Magnerio lined up in a competitive encounter at Caulfield in March, with the horse finishing sixth out of eleven at odds of 20/1 recently. That was in the Ladbrokes William Reid Stakes which was a Group 1 affair, with that coming after an Ascot victory over seven furlongs in December. The 9/2 chance could well feature in the final shake-up.

Recon is hard to judge considering the four-year-old has only had one outing, with that coming at Flemington in March. A midfield finish in the Hoysted Handicap was achieved at odds of 19/5 and perhaps a better alternative is Tycoon Star who beat Extragalactic by a length in a previous showing.
