Betfred 1000 Guineas Odds

The Betfred 1000 Guineas Stakes dates back to 1814 and was pre-dated by the 2000 Guineas by just five years. Similarly it was named after the original prize money for the race (1000 guineas or £1,050) and was won by the horse, Charlotte. It was originally set up by the Jockey Club and is run over a mile distance over the Rowley Mile at Newmarket racecourse. Entrants must be three years old and the 1000 Guineas is only open to fillies, unlike the 2000 Guineas, which is open to both sexes. Nowadays, the prize money stretches well over the £500,000 mark.

While not as famous as the actual Triple Crown, this race forms part of the Fillies Triple Crown, consisting of the Oaks, the St Leger and this race. It has not been won since 1985, when Oh So Sharp completed the treble.

Other famous winners of this title include Cape Verdi, Finsceal Beo, Special Duty, Winter, Love and Mawj. Love was the last horse to win both the 1000 Guineas and the Betfred Oaks, back in 2020.

You can find the full list of winners listed below, as well as the winning jockeys, trainers and owners.
