What is the Irish 1000 Guineas?
The Irish 1000 Guineas is one of the star events on the Flat racing calendar in the Emerald Isle and the one-mile Group 1 at the Curragh attracts some top-class fillies, who are aiming to etch their name in the history books and could use the race as a potential springboard to Royal Ascot later in the season. First run in 1922, the race takes place on the same weekend as the Irish 2000 Guineas, and both Classic races are targeted by all the elite Irish trainers and some handlers from the UK. With multiple wins in the race, Aidan O'Brien is the dominant trainer in the Irish 1000 Guineas and the likes of Misty For Me (2011) and Winter (2017) are just two of his most notable winners.
