The 1000 Guineas Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race for three-year-old fillies. It is run early in the season over a distance of 1 mile on the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket and is one of five UK classic races.
The race was first run in 1814 and is the fillies equivalent of the 2000 Guineas. The race gets its name from the original guaranteed prize fund of 2,000 guineas.
