In pictures: Goodwood welcomes back racehorses - but not crowds

It was a Goodwood season opener unlike any other.

Eight races, some of the country's top jockeys and trainers, all the thrills and spills we have come to expect from racing on the undulating Downs - but no race-goers there to see it. Welcome to Lockdown Goodwood. Everyone in racing is glad to see the sport back, even if for now they can only watch on TV or, in the case of some on Sunday, from Trundle Hill. Here are the best of the pictures from a rather surreal, but not uneventful raceday - a report from which can be read here.
