# Quicken Away Wins Goodwood Maiden Stakes

**Quicken Away** secured victory in the Goodwood maiden stakes at Goodwood on Tuesday. According to the official result, the 11/10 favourite, ridden by Oisín Murphy for trainer Andrew Balding, won the British Ebf Peter Willett Future Stayers’ Maiden Stakes by one length in 1m 46.92s.

The Goodwood maiden stakes confirmed the market leader as a serious prospect in what proved a depth-filled field. Royal Acclamation — the 11/1 second — finished two and three-quarter lengths adrift, with Al Qayed at 22/1 occupying third, a further length and a half away.

Noble Traveller, trained by Richard Hannon and ridden by Ryan Moore, finished fourth at 6/4, less than two lengths behind Royal Acclamation. The closeness of these minor placings suggests genuinely competitive form on the soft ground. [Sorrengail, the morning favourite for the Fillies’ Conditions Stakes, missed the race](https://readhorseracing.com/2026/09/08/goodwood-fillies-conditions-stakes-preview-sorrengail/) — a significant absentee from Tuesday’s card.

Quicken Away’s winning time of 1m 46.92s offers scope for the three-year-old to progress into conditions company. Balding will weigh whether to step the colt into handicap company or seek Listed or Group-race company against maiden winners, a decision likely to depend on how the gelding handles the step up in grade.
