Betfred 2000 Guineas Odds

The Betfred 2000 Guineas Stakes dates back to 1809 and is named after the original prize money for the race (£2,100), which was won by the horse Wizard. 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 2000 Guineas is open to both colts and fillies, unlike the 1000 Guineas, which is only for fillies. However, the race now primarily consists of colts due to the 1000 Guineas.

Nowadays, the prize money stretches well over the £500,000 mark.

The race forms part of the Triple Crown, alongside the 1m 4f Betfred Derby and the 1m 6f Betfred St Leger, although the accolade hasn't been achieved since Nijinsky famously completed the treble back in 1970. We spoke to legendary British horse racing journalist and presenter Brough Scott about Nijinsky recently, which you can see below.

Other famous winners of this title include Dancing Brave, Rock of Gibraltar, Sea the Stars, City Of Troy and of course, perhaps the greatest flat race horse of them all, Frankel. You can find the full list of winners listed below, as well as the winning jockeys, trainers and owners.
