Markel Magnolia Cup | Goodwood, England | July 30
Held during the Qatar Goodwood Festival, the Markel Magnolia Cup has become one of the world’s most stylish and meaningful racing events. The women-led charity race brings together amateur riders from business, fashion, sport and media—none of them professional jockeys—who undergo months of intensive training before competing down Goodwood’s iconic straight. This year’s race also marks a milestone as New York entrepreneur Zoey Schorsch becomes the first American woman to compete in the Magnolia Cup, bringing added international attention to the event. As an openly gay rider and LGBTQ+ advocate, Schorsch is using the platform to champion greater representation in horse racing while raising funds for charity, adding another compelling layer to one of the summer’s most anticipated equestrian events.
