1000 Guineas Betting Tips & Predictions
There will be no day of rest on Sunday for horse racing fans as the action continues to come at us. UK and Irish meetings include Newmarket, Hamilton and Gowran but the best of them, and by a considerable distance, takes place at the Suffolk track. Let’s look at out 1000 Guineas betting tips…
Nicknamed the HQ of British racing, we need look no further than this week’s card for evidence of why. Glorious Group 1 racing on the Rowley Mile, pitting the best-bred horses, fearless jockeys and most decorated trainers in a battle for hefty prize pots.
Saturday was all about the 2019 renewal of the 2000 Guineas and on Sunday we get the latest chapter from the fascinating 1000 Guineas story as the girls look to shine. A fillies Group 1 contest decided over the mile, we have 16 runners expected at post this year, with over £280,000 paid to the winner. It’s the best race of the day across Europe, but it’s not the only one of note taking place on the card.
The 1000 Guineas is supported by six other legs, with the 1.50pm Qatar Racing Handicap getting the show on the road, before the 5.20pm Qipco Supporting British Racing Handicap brings the shutters down for another year. The chief support comes in the form of the Fillies Group 2 Charm Spirit Dahlia Stakes at 2.25pm.
Rich History
The 1000 Guineas has a rich history that can be traced all the way back to the first running of the race in 1814, five years after the 2000 Guineas was launched. Charlotte made her way into the history books as the first ever champion and that exclusive list includes some memorable champions. Billesdon Brook is the latest of them, having scored for Sean Levey, Richard Hannon Jr and the Pall Mall Partners 12 months ago.
Picking through past results and we find there’s not a lot to go on from the trends when attempting to pick your winner. George Fordham is the leading jockey, but his success came between 1859 and 1883. Robert Robson stands as the leading trainer on nine wins, achieved between 1818 and 1827.
Looking at more recent runnings of the 1000 Guineas and we see Aidan O’Brien has enjoyed glory, being responsible for two of the last three champions. Minding was the first of them in 2016, followed by Winter in 2017. O’Brien has won this title no less than four times during his career, the other two coming in the form of Virginia Waters 2005 and Homecoming Queen 2012. We’re confident he’ll get more on Sunday.
In terms of jockeys, we’re drawn to Ryan Moore who sat on half of the last four winners, steering Legatissimo to success in 2015 before getting Minding to the winner’s enclosure a year later. Homecoming Queen means Moore has won three of the last seven 1000 Guineas runs, and that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
