Glorious Goodwood in past pictures: Remember Wet Wednesday at the 2017 festival?

Our run through pur picture archives from past Glorious Goodwood weeks continues today with a look back to 2017 - when Wet Wednesday, the day 50mm of rain fell in 12 hours, threatened to ruin the Sussex Stakes.

The day's racing survived - just - but Goodwood bosses were mightily glad when the weather cheered up for the rest of the week. Relive the 2017 festival, the third one sponsored by Qatar, in the pages that follow. See a 2015 gallery here, 2016 here and get all this year's runners and riders here. All pictures in these galleries are by Goodwood photographic legend Malcolm Wells.
