An all-apprentice six-race racecard will take place at Goodwood on Friday, June 6. The evening meeting is part of the Three Friday Nights racing fixture held by the course this year.

After the conclusion of the card, the 2025 Leading Apprentice Jockey will be crowned. The title is awarded through points accrued throughout the card by the competing apprentices. Kaiya Fraser won the title in 2024.

Senior racing executive at the Professional Jockeys Association (PJA), Adam McNamara, said, “The all-apprentice race day from Goodwood has always been an initiative the PJA is fully behind. It cannot be understated how beneficial it is to our apprentice jockeys to have the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of a big crowd on a premier track. Over the last number of years, it has been the springboard for a number of apprentices to kick start their seasons and potentially their careers.”
