Guineas Festival 2020 New Customer Sign-Up Offers
The Guineas Festival usually takes place at the end of April and beginning of May. It is usually a two-day fixture at Newmarket which features the 2,000 Guineas and 1,000 Guineas. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the season's calendar is rather different with racing only beginning at the start of June. This year will see a four-day meeting including the Coronation Cup being held on Friday June 5 a race usually held at Epsom. Racing will take place behind closed doors, so no big cheers over the next few days. Hopefully we can expect the 2021 meeting to have its regular format and be staged in May. Here is some historical information and betting and race trends for the 2000 Guineas (taking place on June 6) and 1000 Guineas (June 7).

Closing Comments on the 2000 Guineas
The 2020 2,000 Guineas revolves around two things: the circumstances behind the rearranged date and the ability of PINATUBO. The race at Newmarket on the first Saturday in June takes place with no racegoers in attendance and behind closed doors. Racing must adhere to a raft of health measures while Pinatubo has the best ratings from a juvenile season for 25 years. Horse racing is able to cope with a new way of operating but the opposition should not be able to cope at Newmarket with Pinatubo who can win the 2020 2,000 Guineas with a fair bit in hand.
Background to the 2000 Guineas Race
The 2000 Guineas is the first of the five Classics during the British Flat season. Only horses aged three are eligible and colts and fillies can take part. The race is a Group 1 contest that is run over the straight Rowley Mile on turf at Newmarket. It is the first leg of the Triple Crown which is completed by the Derby at Epsom and St Leger at Doncaster. The feat of winning all three races is rare and Nijinsky was the last horse to complete the treble, in 1970. Fifteen horses in total have won the Triple Crown, beginning with victory in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket.
The first 2,000 Guineas took place in April 1809, five years before the equivalent race for fillies, the 1,000 Guineas. The Jockey Club introduced these races to the Flat programme. The initial prize fund was one guinea which is 21 shillings or £1.05. By the mid-1860’s the race was established as one of the most prestigious for horses aged three. It became one of the five Classics which are still run in Britain. The concept has been replicated in other racing countries, including France and Ireland. The main trials for the 2,000 Guineas are the Craven Stakes and Greenham Stakes. The race itself is a key trial for the Derby. Since 2001 the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas offered equal prize money.
2020 2,000 Guineas
The 2020 2,000 Guineas was run on June 6th on good to firm ground. There were 15 runners, of which four were trained in Ireland. All the runners were aged three and carried nine stones. Three runners started at single figure odds while three runners started at 100/1 or bigger.

Closing Comments on the 1000 Guineas
MILLISLE won the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket last September. The six furlongs contest for horse aged two is the most prestigious juvenile races for fillies. The horse beat Raffle Prize into second place by one and three quarter lengths. The big question about these horses is whether they will stay the one mile of the 1,000 Guineas. Neither horse has raced beyond six furlongs so stamina could be an issue. Aidan O’Brien is well-represented but love could be his best chance. Quadrilateral is a leading contender on form and ratings but Millisle is just preferred.
Background to the 1000 Guineas Race
The 1000 Guineas is the fillies’ equivalent of the 2,000 Guineas. The race is run over the straight Rowley Mile at Newmarket Racecourse. In normal circumstances, the race takes place on the second day of the Guineas Meeting early in May. However, in 2020 it iss a four day Festival in the first week from June 4-7. The 1000 Guineas is the first leg of the fillies’ Triple Crown which is completed by the Oaks at Epsom and St Leger at Doncaster. The last horse to win these three races in the same season was Oh So Sharp in 1985. Nine horses have achieved the feat which begins by winning the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket.
The first 1000 Guineas took place in April 1814, so five years after the first 2000 Guineas. The two races were founded by the man who established the Derby as the premier Flat race in the sport. As with the 2,000 Guineas, the original prize fund was 21 shillings or £1.05 which is known as "a guinea". During the 1860’s the 1000 Guineas became established as one of the five Classics, a concept adopted by many other racing nations. The main trials for the race are the Nell Gwynn Stakes and Fred Darling Stakes. It is also key trial for the Oaks and the last horse to win both races was Minding in 2016.
2020 1,000 Guineas
The 2020 1,000 Guineas was run on June 7th on good ground. There were 15 runners, of which two were trained in Ireland. All the runners were aged three and carried nine stones. Four runners started at single figure odds while three runners started at 100/1 or bigger.
