1000 Guineas Odds

The 1000 Guineas is the first British classic of the season for three-year-old fillies, and is traditionally held on a Sunday between late April and early May at Newmarket. Like its equivalent for the colts, the 2000 Guineas, the race is run over a distance of one mile and attracts the best fillies from the UK and Ireland. There are many different equivalents to the 1000 Guineas around the world, including in Ireland, Germany, France, Australia and New Zealand. You can check out the 1000 Guineas odds here...

1000 Guineas Tips

The 1000 Guineas regularly proves to be a fiercely-contested Group 1 affair, and you can check out our tips for this year's renewal of the fillies' classic here a little closer to the time...

What is the 1000 Guineas? 

The 1000 Guineas is a Group 1 Flat race run at Newmarket and is the showpiece event for three-year-old fillies.

The race was first run in 1814, and was created alongside the colts equivalent, the 2000 Guineas, with the names equating to the prize fund (a guinea amounted to £1.05). The race quickly grew in stature, and is now served by several trial races, including the Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket - while the 1000 Guineas itself is a recognised trial for the Epsom Oaks. The last filly to win both the 1000 Guineas and the Oaks in the same season was the Aidan O'Brien-trained Minding in 2016. 

What happened in the 2021 renewal of the 1000 Guineas? 

Aidan O'Brien bagged a seventh success in the 1000 Guineas, as the master of Ballydoyle saddled Mother Earth to an impressive victory in the fillies' Classic. Sent off a 10/1 chance, Mother Earth showed a fine turn of foot under Frankie Dettori and she managed to kick clear of Saffron Beach and Fev Rover, who were gallant in second and third spot.
