2027 Betfred 1000 Guineas Stakes Preview
The 1000 Guineas is run on the day following the 2000 Guineas at the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket in early May. This Group 1 race is open to three-year-old fillies only and is run over a straight mile with all fillies running off a weight of 9-2.
Those holding an official rating of 80+ can enter the race; those without a mark can enter if the handicapper deems their performances good enough. Like the 2000 Guineas, there is a £500k purse, with just over £280k going to the winner.
This race is only one of two British Classics that are restricted to fillies only, with the Epsom Oaks being the other.

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? Over the past 20 renewals, if you had followed the winner of the 1000 Guineas next time out, then you would have backed a total of 7 winners. Backing all 19 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of +1.52. Before placing your bet on the 2027 1000 Guineas, see which other runners today are being backed on the racing predictions page.
Over the last 20 renewals, it was Ghanaati, trained by B W Hills and ridden by Richard Hills, who set the fastest winning time in the 1000 Guineas. That runner won the race in a time of 1:34.22 in 2009.
