The feature race of the fourth day is the King George Qatar Stakes. This year, it falls on Friday, 31 July.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The King George Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race that accepts both male and female horses aged three years or older. It is run over a distance of 5 furlongs (1,006 metres). The debut edition of the race took place in 1911. It was established to commemorate the coronation of King George V who became king in May 1910 and was crowned in June 1911. Initially run over a distance of 6 furlongs, it was reduced to its present distance in 1948.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article we will review the list of runners declared to run in this season\u2019s race, go over the race card for the entire fourth day, and take a closer look at some of the most promising runners and market\u2019s favourites to compete in the race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>King George Stakes Day 2026 Racecard<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Goodwood Festival 2026 will be conducted in the last week of July and last for five days.

While the number of runners may change before the start of the race, audiences won\u2019t be disappointed, as all of them bring skills and determination to win on to the tracks. As the race doesn\u2019t impose an upper age limit on participation, several horses have run and won the race more than once in their career. One horse that stands out with the highest number of champion titles to his name is Battaash with 4 wins (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest winner in 2025 was a 5 year old bay gelding Jm Jungle. This was the second of his two wins during the season. He also won the Aston Martin \u2018Dash\u2019 Handicap during the Epsom Derby Festival (Epsom Downs Racecourse, June 2025). For Jm Jungle this wasn\u2019t his first win at Glorious Goodwood. In August 2023 he also won the World Pool Handicap. Since the start of the 2026 season, he has participated in four races. The highest outcome he has shown so far was the third place in the John Smith\u2019s City Walls Stakes (York Racecourse, July 2026). He has been declared to participate in this year\u2019s race. Jm Jungle was trained by John &amp; Sean Quinn and led on the track by jockey Jason Hart.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Night Raider<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and colour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> brown gelding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trainer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Karl Burke<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Major achievements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 6 out of 17 wins, including William Hill Temple Stakes (May 2026) and BetUK Golden Rose Stakes (November 2024)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Night Raider opens the market as the strongest favourite. He tried to win the King George Qatar Stakes (Goodwood Racecourse, August 2025, winner Jm Jungle) in the previous edition of the race, however came in sixth. He won his very first two races, including the maiden Bet 10 Get 40 At BetMGM EBF Novice Stakes (Southwell Racecourse, December 2023). He added two more wins to his credit in 2024, ebfstallions.com Conditions Stakes (Kempton Racecourse, October 2024) and BetUK Golden Rose Stakes (Newcastle Racecourse, November 2024).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While in 2025 his highest achievement was the third place in the 1895 Duke Of York Clipper Stakes (York Racecourse, May 2025, winner Inisherin), in 2026 Karl Burke\u2019s charge returned to the race tracks in an excellent form, winning two races out of the three he has participated in so far, the HKJC World Pool Palace House Stakes at the Newmarket Racecourse in May 2026 and the William Hill Temple Stakes at the Haydock Park Racecourse in May 2026).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rumstar<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 6 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and colour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bay gelding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trainer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Jonathan Portman<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Major achievements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 7 out of 31 wins, including Coral Charge (July 2026) and Coral Charge (July 2025)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His spectacular performance and win in the Coral Charge race (Sandown Park Racecourse, July 2026) catapulted Rumstar into the top five favourites for the King George Stakes. This was reinforced by the fact that this time he was running as a defending champion, having won the Coral Charge in July 2025 too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jonathan Portman\u2019s charge is not a newbie at the Goodwood Racecourse. Throughout his racing career he has already participated in four different races at the Chichester venue. This includes one win in his debut year of 2022, namely Coral Beaten-By-A-Length Free Bet Nursery (Goodwood Racecourse, July 2022) during the Glorious Goodwood Festival. He has also participated in the Coral Stewards\u2019 Cup twice, once in August 2023 (winner Aberama Gold) and the second time in August 2024 when he came to the finish line seventh (winner Get It).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Jakajaro\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and colour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bay gelding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trainer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Robert Cowell<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Major achievements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4 out of 34 wins, including Lindum York Handicap (May 2026) and Betway 4 To Win Handicap (April 2026)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jakajaro started the 2026 season with two notable wins, Betway 4 To Win Handicap at the Newmarket Racecourse in April 2026 and Lindum York Handicap at the York Racecourse in May 2026. Though his participation in this season\u2019s Tulfarris Hotel And Golf Resort Sapphire Stakes (Curragh Racecourse, July 2026, winner Cover Up) only brought him the third place, he caught the attention of the market experts for his overall sprint form and performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Robert Cowell\u2019s charge will be returning to the Goodwood Racecourse for the fourth time since the start of his career. In 2025 he participated in three races at the venue and was placed third in two of them (Coral Stewards\u2019 Cup, August 2025, winner Two Tribes and LiveScoreBet Handicap, August 2025, winner Flash Harry) and sixth in one (Coral Golden Rewards Shaker Handicap, July 2025, winner Brazen Bolt).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Jm Jungle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 6 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and colour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bay gelding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trainer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> John &amp; Sean Quinn<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Major achievements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 7 out of 43 wins, including King George Qatar Stakes (August 2025) and Aston Martin \u2018Dash\u2019 Handicap (June 2026)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jm Jungle enters the race as the defending champion, understandably drawing the attention of both horse racing fans and experts to himself.

This year will mark his fourth run at the Goodwood Racecourse.
