2000 Guineas Trends 2025

May 3, 2025
Andy Newton

The now Betfred-sponsored 2,000 Guineas is a race run over 1m and is the first of the five English Classics to be run each season - with the 1,000 Guineas run the following day. Both races are staged at Newmarket racecourse, and for 3 year-olds only, the race is also seen as an early-season guide to that year’s Epsom Derby – the last horses to land both races in the same season were Sea The Stars (2009) and Camelot (2012).

The 2024 running of the 2000 Guineas was won by the Charlie Appleby-trained Notable Speech with William Buick riding.

Here at GEEGEEZ, we take a look back at past winners and highlights the key trends and stats ahead of the 2025 renewal – this year run on Saturday 3rd May 2025.
