The QIPCO Guineas Festival 2021 Featured Image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/113417287@N08 © 2021 TGH Trading Ltd – All Rights Reserved The 2021 Qipco Guinea’s Festival at Newmarket is a weekend of world class turf flat racing over two days, featuring the first two Classic races of the new turf flat season, the 1000 and 2000 Guineas, which form part of the British Champion Series. First run in 1809 the 2000 Guineas, a race ran for 3 year old colts and fillies and named after the amount of Prize Money on offer, was followed 5 years later, in 1814, by the addition of the 1000 Guineas, a race solely for 3 year old fillies. Both races are run on the Newmarket Rowley Mile course on consecutive days. The 2000 Guineas on day 1 is a test of speed for the thoroughbred runners and the prize money on offer for the winner this year amounts to a hefty £212,663, with the race forming the first part of the English Triple Crown which also includes the Epsom Derby and the St Leger. The English Triple Crown has been won by 15 horses over its years (including 3 winners of substitute races at Newmarket during World War I). The most recent and most popular is Nijinsky back in 1970 ridden by the famous Lester Piggott. Steve Mellish explains in the video below why achieving the Triple Crown is such a difficult task. Click to Play the Video © 2021 TGH Trading Ltd – All Rights Reserved The 1000 Guineas for the Fillies returns a winner’s prize equal to that of the Colts and Fillies 2000 Guineas race and forms the first of the three races for the fillies Triple Crown which includes the Oaks and the St Leger.

LIBERTY BEACH seems pretty versatile with regards to ground so will not be bothered if there is some rain around. She ran well last season without really settling that well and if she is more relaxed this season then she will be a big player for Group races this season. LAZULI does seem reliant on quick ground and has yet to make a serious impact at Group level. But there is plenty of scope for improvement and he could still be improving. KEEP BUSY is another yet to reach her peak and she seemed to be improving towards the back end of last season (the 2nd to Glass Slippers at the Curragh looking top form) and she is a serious player in my view. DUBAI STATION has yet to full fill his potential and for a stable that gets the best out of their sprinters could be one to keep an eye on at a big price 3.00 Betfair Exchange Jockey Club Stakes PYLEDRIVER is the current favourite for this but is one I would be taking on. He started to look a bit wayward last season and while he has undoubted ability, he can be liable to throw in a moody display. AL ZARAQAAN looked one to follow for the season when bolting up at Kempton in March and the best is certainly yet to be seen. SIR RON PRIESTLY is very versatile and looks a tough opponent for all the others. There was plenty to like about the way he galloped his rivals into submission at Nottingham. © 2021 TGH Trading Ltd – All Rights Reserved PABLO ESCOBARR might be a player at bigger odds given he has some solid form in handicaps, but I think this may rest between the potential of AL ZARAQAAN and the solid profile of SIR RON PRIESTLY. 3.40 Qipco 2000 Guineas I have covered this contest in my video presentation, so please watch that on YouTube if you can via this link. May 2nd 3.00 Betfair Dahlia Stakes The current betting has a short priced favourite in QUEENS POWER I am not sure she warrants that on form and has been turned over a few times at short prices. MAAMORA rounded off last season with a victory over the reliable and tough Bilesdon Brook and outran her odds a couple of times in Dubai as well, so is a big player. LAVENDER’S BLUE was outclassed in the Group races she ran in last season and was well held by MAAMORA when they met at Sandown, returned to action with a good win last time out, but that does not look strong form. POSTED was another behind that rival MAAMORA that day at Sandown, but she was fairly motoring at the end and this sort of trip could be ideal. CHAMADE is a stronger stayer than most of these have shown so far and could just have them on the stretch if she can get a soft lead. 3.40 Qipco 1000 Guineas I have again covered this race on my Video on YouTube, so please take a look here Additional Pointers for the Non-ITV Races Of course, Carl will be providing selections for every race being shown live on ITV but there are other races that are not shown that may provide us with some decent punting opportunities. © 2021 TGH Trading Ltd – All Rights Reserved On the first day of the Guineas meeting the opening race (1.15pm) and the final three (4.15pm, 4.50pm and 5.25pm) are not being shown on terrestrial TV. Three of these are Class 2 handicaps and over the last decade one trainer has a cracking record in these race types especially at the Guineas meeting. Charlie Appleby (Class 2 handicaps) As a result of the Covid-19 situation last year’s Guineas took place during June and given the circumstance it may pay to play less attention to that Festival and focus on the ones that ran in May as would normally be the case. Since 2014 Appleby has saddled 16 runners in Class 2 handicaps at the Guineas meeting and 6 have won with another five placing. If we had simply placed 1pt in both the Win and Place markets these race types would have yielded a profit of +66% after comms (5%). At the time of writing the yard have two entries that if they run are worthy of closer inspection. Creative Force (1.15pm) – returned to action on April15th and won a similar type of race as this one over the course and distance. He has been raised 8lb as a result but given it was his first run since being gelded there may be more improvement to come. Magical Land (5.25pm) – is a 3yo son of Frankel and makes his handicap debut having been runners-up in 3 maiden runs to date and now steps up to a mile for the first time. Lay the Mark Johnston runners in handicaps? For those of you interested in potentially laying horses on the exchange’s trainer Mark Johnston has won a total of three handicap races at the Guineas Festival from 51 such runners and only a further 4 even placed. As is the normal modus operandi the yard have numerous entries in the various handicaps so at this stage we suggest waiting until the declarations have firmed up before delving a little deeper in search of lay material. Moving on to the second day at Newmarket which features the fillies Classic there are again 4 races not being covered by ITV. These are the 1.15pm, 4.15pm, 4.50pm and 5.20pm. © 2021 TGH Trading Ltd – All Rights Reserved John Gosden (3yo handicaps) Over the preceding Guineas Festivals, the yard has been quite frugal with their 3yo runners in handicap races with only 4 of them going to post. However two of them won and one finished second with only Ghostwriting letting the side down in 2012 but having been sent off at 20/1 possibly not much was expected anyway. Looking at the current entries the Gosden’s (son and father team) have Highland Rocker (1.15pm) and Otyrar/Defined (4.50pm) down to run in the 3yo handicaps scheduled for Sunday. Other pointers The draw can play a massive role sometimes at this track and high numbers are the ones to concentrate on in most cases.

    Your Key to Success Welcome to Rathbarry & Glenview Studs 2017

    STALLIONS 2017 STALLIONS 2017 Your Key to Success Welcome to Rathbarry & Glenview Studs 2017 Dear Breeders, The nature of the bloodstock industry is that each and every year brings fresh challenges as well STALLIONS 2017 as new achievements and 2016 has been no different. The main concern is that there has been increased catalogue sizes to cater for a larger foal crop of 2015, so the necessity for breeders to focus on quality and value is more important than ever. Happily we have witnessed another fantastic year for ACCLAMATION’s progeny on the track with 17 Black Type performers including Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye winner MARSHA and Dual Group 2 winning 2-Y-O MEHMAS. LIMATO has again proved a great advertisement for TAGULA in 2016, when competing at the highest level. He was successful in Group 1 July Cup and Group 1 Prix de la Foret and we look forward to even more successes for him in 2017. As we write the first crop foals by the Group 2 Winning and Dual Group 1 placed 2-Y-O MOOHAAJIM and the Dual Group 1 Winning Miler, XTENSION, are being prepared for the sales ring and we are confident that you will be impressed by their excellent quality and confirmation. In 2017 we are proud to introduce two new stallions which will offer breeders a great variety of choice to our existing roster - AJAYA, the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes Winning 2-Y-O by Leading Sire Invincible Spirit from an established stallion producing female line and KODI BEAR, the Group 2 Winner of 4 Stakes Races from 7-8 furlongs, by Multiple Stakes Producing sire Kodiac.

    BUTTERS FAMILY There were 4 brothers who attended Framlingham between 1888 and 1905 and a couple of them were very prominent racehorse trainers. JOSEPH ARTHUR “FRANK” BUTTERS (1888-95) Frank Butters was Champion Trainer 8 times between 1927 and 1949. In addition to training the winners of 15 Classics in England he also trained Irish Derby winners Turkhan, Nathoo and Hindostan and Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe winner Migoli for the Aga Khan III. Frank Butters was born in Austria, where his father Joseph rode and trained, and became a successful trainer there himself. During the 1914-18 war he was nominally interned, then trained in Italy before being given a 4 year contract as private trainer to the 17th Earl of Derby at Stanley House, Newmarket, becoming leading trainer in his first year there, 1927. When Lord Derby withdrew from racing for economic reasons, Butters leased the Fitzroy Stables in Newmarket as a public trainer. Here he trained for Mr A W Gordon and, later, the Aga Khan III and the 5th Earl of Durham. He considered Bahram to be the best horse he ever trained.
