<h1>Horse Racing: Sussex Stakes 2025 Betting Predictions: Field Of Gold Big Favourite To Win Day 2 Goodwood Festival Main Race</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The 2025 Goodwood Festival will continue this week with Day 2 action taking place between Wednesday and Thursday (AEST). The main race of the day will be the Sussex Stakes (01:05 AEST), where bettors will want to keep an eye on what could potentially happen.</p> <p>The race is a highlight on the British horse racing calendar during their summer, with the Group 1 mile contest attracting top milers from across Europe, pitting classic-winning three-year-olds against proven older stars. Horses like <strong>Frankel</strong>, <strong>Baaeed</strong>, and <strong>Paddington </strong>have all been successful in the past.</p> <p>The Group 1 flat race is open to horses aged three years or older, with three-year-olds receiving an 8lb allowance compared to older horses, while fillies/mares get an additional 3lb off.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>2025 Sussex Stakes Cup: Betting Preview</h2> <p>This year’s renewal is seen as a head-to-head between Europe’s best three-year-old, <strong>Field Of Gold</strong>, and older challengers, with notable runners including French Guineas hero <strong>Henri Matisse</strong> and old rival <strong>Rosallion</strong>. The field is smaller than usual, with just seven runners this year, ensuring a clean, tactically run race rather than the lottery of a big handicap.</p> <p><strong>Field Of Gold </strong>is in a hot run of form at the moment, having won three of the last four races competed in. Trained by<strong> John and Thandy Gosden</strong>, it doesn’t seem to matter who the jockey is for this horse. However, he will have the talented <strong>William Buick </strong>taking the reins in this upcoming race, which has made him a leading contender.</p> <p>In his last race, Field of Gold defeated <strong>Henri Matisse </strong>at Royal Ascot, winning by 3.5 lengths. However, the latter remains a potential contender due to the difference in the track. He may prefer Goodwood over Ascot, which could make things interesting. With <strong>Ryan Moore</strong> on board and a few wins this season, there’s every chance that he could challenge his arch-nemesis.</p> <p><strong>Rosallion </strong>is often considered for each-way value, and will be well-suited to Goodwood. He is likely to be played late in running to exploit his turn of foot, but faces a tough task conceding weight to Field Of Gold.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>2025 Sussex Stakes: Betting Prediction</h2> <p>The latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/international/goodwood/race-4-9457672">2025 Sussex Stakes betting odds</a> have<strong> Field Of Gold </strong>as the heavy favourite entering the race. The odds are so short that it might be worth examining the rest of the market to try to find some potential value.</p> <p><strong>Henri Matisse </strong>is certainly a little longer than many may have expected, making him a <strong>good each-way </strong>betting choice given his form and liking for Goodwood.</p> <p><strong>Docklands </strong>and <strong>Carl Spacker</strong> are both potential <strong>each-way options</strong>, as they’ve each won a race this season. With a small field set to go to post, these could provide some potential value.</p>
