1000 Guineas Betting Tips, Big Race Facts & Trends

What is the 1000 Guineas?

Staged on the Sunday of the Guineas weekend in early May, the 1000 Guineas is a highly coveted race. Just like the 2000 Guineas, it is also one of the five British Classic races and the first fillies’ Classic race of the season.

Named after the inaugural prize purse back in 1814, the 1000 Guineas is run over Newmarket’s Rowley Mile course which is a tough test for the young fillies. The last two furlongs of the race always sorts out the stars of the future from the also-rans.

Where & when is the 2021 1000 Guineas?

The next 1000 Guineas race is scheduled to take place at Newmarket, England on Sunday 2nd May 2021 with a race off-time set for 15:00.

Ante-Post 1000 Guineas Betting Tips for 2021

Those of you looking for a speculative antepost 1000 Guineas bet in the 2021 renewal should perhaps give some consideration to Dandalla (25/1 with BetVictor at the time of writing, 9th September 2020).

Karl Burke’s filly was a revelation in 2020, winning on her racecourse debut at Newcastle and then taking the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot, before ending her season with victory in the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes.

I’ve dreamt of a Royal Ascot winner since the 1st time I sat on a racehorse. Today a filly bought by Kelly ridden daily by Lucy, trained by @karl_burke & owned by @NBradleyRacing made that dream come true. Words can’t describe the feeling.
