The Two Thousand Guineas Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race for three-year-old thoroughbreds (excluding geldings).
It is run over a distance of 1 mile on the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket Racecourse in late April or early May. It is one of five British Classic Races.
It was first run on April 18, 1809 and takes its name from the original guaranteed prize fund of 2,000 guineas (worth approx. £110,000 today — 1 guinea = £1 1s, or £1.05).
As the race takes place early in the season and there may be little previous form for that year - last season's two-year-old form is usually taken as the most reliable guide to predicting the outcome.
Trainer Trend: AP O'Brien has won this race three times in the last six years.
Jockey Trend: K Fallon has won the race twice in the last six years.
Favourite Trend: The last two winners have been outside the top three in the betting. Prior to that, the winner has come from the first three in the betting.
Official Rating Trend: Four of the last six winners have had no OR. Otherwise range 115-120.
None at present.
