The 1,000 Guineas Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to three-year-old thoroughbred fillies. It is run over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres) on the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket Racecourse and takes place annually in late April or early May.
It was first run on April 28, 1814, five years after the introduction of the equivalent race for both colts and fillies, the 2,000 Guineas. The Jockey Club launched both races under the direction of Sir Charles Bunbury, who had earlier co-founded the Epsom Derby. The races were named according to their original prize funds (one guinea amounted to 21 shillings, or £1.05). Since 2001 both races have offered equal prize money, with each totalling £375,000 in 2008.
The 1,000 Guineas is presently the second of five British races to be run during the year which are designated as "classics". These races are all restricted to three-year-olds, with two restricted to fillies only – the 1,000 Guineas and the Epsom Oaks. These are the first two legs of the Fillies' Triple Crown, which is completed by the final classic, the St. Leger Stakes. Seven horses have won all three races, most recently Oh So Sharp in 1985.
The format of the 1,000 Guineas has been adopted by many racing authorities around the world, giving rise to such races as the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, the Irish 1,000 Guineas, the German 1,000 Guineas and the Premio Regina Elena.
Trial races include the Nell Gwyn Stakes and the Fred Darling Stakes in mid April, but many horses start the 1,000 Guineas without a run since the previous autumn.
