Guineas Festival Betting Odds
Throughout the flat season, there are many prestigious races that attract the attention of punters, and one of the earliest in the horse racing season is the 1000 Guineas. A Group 1 flat race that is open specifically to three-year-old fillies, this race is a key part of the Fillies Triple Crown, which, although rarely attempted, will take place across the entire season. For those looking to place a bet on the 1,000 Guineas, there are a number of races across the year that could give you insight into who the best horses to back could be ahead of the race.
1000 Guineas Betting Odds
As the start of the flat racing season approaches, we’ll have all of the betting odds available for the ‘classics’, which are specifically open to three-year-old horses. One of the first on the agenda is the 1000 Guineas, and the betting odds will feature the win and each-way markets for the race. These bets can be placed on the winner of the race, or if you believe a horse will finish in the placings.
However, if you prefer to place forecast or tricast bets, these will be made available closer to the day of the race when the cards are confirmed. As this race is linked with other classic races which fall under a similar level of race, there is also the chance for punters to place accas.
2000 Guineas Betting Odds
In the build-up to the 1,000 Guineas, the Guineas festival's Saturday racing finalises with the 2,000 Guineas which has become so much more than a warm-up to the grand finale. Created as an opening act over 200 years ago, betting does tend to be a bit smaller in size in comparison to the 1,000 Guineas. However, the action is just as good! One particular winner that comes to mind is Camelot who won in 2012 and Frankel who won in 2011 and is one of the highest rated horses of all time and finished his career unbeaten.
