2,000 Guineas Betting Guide – By far the biggest ‘standout’ stat is that ALL of the last 14 winners came here of the back of a top three finish in their most recent race, while with 12 of the last 14 winners having won over 7f before, and also winning a Group race, then these are other key trends to look out for.
11 of the last 14 winners actually won last time out too, so that should knock plenty out, while 12 of the last 14 successful horses had won between 2-5 times before in their short careers.
It’s a contest that’s been kind to punters with 9 of the last 14 winners hailing from the top three in the market, plus 9 of the last 14 favourites were also placed – while don’t be too concerned if your fancy hasn’t had a run yet this season as 9 of the last 14 winners took this on their first run back.
The Irish have a good recent record too with 8 of the last 14 going to a yard based in the Emerald Isle, plus, is goes without saying the Aidan O’Brien-trained horses are the ones to look for with seven wins in the race since 1998, including 12 months ago when his classy Gleneagles blew the opposition away to win by 2 ¼ lengths.
So, looking at this year’s race then, just as the betting suggests, everything points to another Aidan O’Brien win with his Air Force Blue the clear favourite in the ante-post markets. This classy 3 year-old has only been beaten once from five runs, and was last seen winning the Dewhurst Stakes by 3 ¼ lengths at Newmarket last October – a race three of the last 14 winners of the 2,000 Guineas won the season before. That was his third Group One victory and although he’s yet to prove himself over further than 7f the way he’s won his last two races suggests another furlong is well within range and is the call to give his powerful yard their eighth success in this Classic.
