1000 Guineas Trends 2026

/in /by

First run back in 1814, the Betfred 1,000 Guineas is a Group One flat race run over 1m just for 3 year-old fillies. The contest is one of the five English Classics and staged at Newmarket racecourse in late April or early May each year.

It’s the second of the five English Classics with the 2,000 Guineas run the day before being the first, while winners of this race often go onto run well in that year’s Epsom Oaks the following month – the last horses to land both races in the same season was Kazzia in 2002 and Minding in 2016.

The 2025 running of the 1000 Guineas was won by Godolphin's Desert Flower and trained by Charlie Appleby. A win that provided the 'boys in blue' with their fifth win in the fillies' classic.

Here at GEEGEEZ we look back at recent winners and gives you the key stats to take into the 2026 renewal – run on Sunday 3rd May

2000 Guineas Trends 2026

/in /by

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 2025 running of the 2000 Guineas was won by the Charlie Appleby-trained Ruling with William Buick riding. With the pair also winning the race in 2024 with Notable Speech.

Here at GEEGEEZ, we take a look back at past winners and highlights the key trends and stats ahead of the 2026 renewal – this year run on Saturday 2nd May 2026.

2026 Punchestown Gold Cup Trends

/in /by

Staged at the five-day Punchestown Festival in April/May - the Punchestown Gold Cup is a Grade One contest run over 3m1f.

The race version we see today was first run back in 1999 and since then has been won by some leading names, including Cheltenham Gold Cup winners Imperial Call, Kicking King, War Of Attrition & Don Cossack - while the 2012 Grand National winner, Neptune Collonges, took this twice before he landed the Aintree marathon.

Last year's winner was the Martin Brassil-trained Fastorslow, who lowered the colours of that year's Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Galopin Des Champs - for a second time in the race.

Did you know – 15 of the last 22 Punchestown Gold Cup winners were aged 7 or 8 years-old, while 17 of the last 22 winners were Irish-trained?

Here at GeeGeez, we take a look back at recent Punchestown Gold Cup winners, plus highlight the key stats ahead of the 2026 renewal – this year run on Wednesday 29th April 2026.

2026 bet365 Gold Cup Trends

/in , /by

The Bet365 Gold Cup will be known to older racing fans as The Whitbread, this 3m5 1/2f race is the last big jumping event of the NH season, and being staged on a mixed (jumps/flat) card then for many this signals the real handover between the two codes.

Run at Sandown Park racecourse the staying Handicap Grade Three chase has been won by some leading names over the years, including Desert Orchid, who landed the prize back in 1988.

It’s also been a poor race for the favourite in recent times with just one outright winning favourite since 1990, but that was in 2023 with Kitty's Light - while it might pay to note that 26 of the last 34 winners carried less than 11st to victory.

Last year the Olly Murphy-trained Resplendent Grey won the race - giving jockey Sean Bowen a third success in the race.
