Engraving of the 1874 2,000 Guineas, from the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News  , May 1874  
The 2000 Guineas Stakes  is a Group 1  flat  race  in Great Britain open to three-year-old thoroughbred  colts  and fillies . It is run on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket  over a distance of 1 mile (1.6 km) and scheduled to take place each year at the start of May.
It is one of Britain's five Classic  races, and at present it is the first to be run in the year. It also serves as the opening leg of the Triple Crown , followed by the Derby  and the St Leger , although the feat of winning all three has been rarely attempted in recent decades.

History 
The 2000 Guineas Stakes was first run on 18 April 1809, and it preceded the introduction of a version for fillies only, the 1000 Guineas Stakes , by five years. Both races were established by the Jockey Club  under the direction of Sir Charles Bunbury , who had earlier co-founded the Derby at Epsom . The races were named according to their original prize funds (a guinea  amounted to 21 shillings , so the original prize was £2,100).
By the mid-1860s, the 2000 Guineas was regarded as one of Britain's most prestigious races for three-year-olds. The five leading events for this age group, characterised by increasing distances as the season progressed, began to be known as "Classics". The concept was later adopted in many other countries.
European variations of the 2000 Guineas include the Irish 2,000 Guineas , the Mehl-Mülhens-Rennen , the Poule d'Essai des Poulains  and the Premio Parioli . Elsewhere, variations include the Australian Guineas  and the Satsuki Shō .
The 2000 Guineas is served by trial races such as the Craven Stakes  and the Greenham Stakes , but for some horses it is the first race of the season. The 2000 Guineas itself can act as a trial for the Derby , and the last horse to win both was Camelot  in 2012. The most recent 2000 Guineas participant to win the Derby was City Of Troy, placed ninth in 2024.
Since 2001, the 2000 Guineas and the 1000 Guineas Stakes have offered equal prize money. Each had a purse of £523,750 in 2019.
