2000 1000 Guineas 2000 1000 Guineas The 2000 1000 Guineas Stakes was a horse race held at Newmarket Racecourse on Sunday 7 May 2000. It was the 187th running of the 1000 Guineas. The winner was Hamdan Al Maktoum's Lahan, a British-bred bay filly trained at Manton in Wiltshire by John Gosden and ridden by Richard Hills. Lahan's victory was the first in the race for her trainer. Hamdan Al Maktoum had won the race before with Salsabil (1990), Shadayid (1991) and Harayir (1996), the last of which had given Richard Hills his only previous winner in the race. It was also the
2014 2000 Guineas Stakes best European horse of the 20th Century. As can be seen from below, an astonishing nine of the fourteen horses in the 2014 running, were Group One winners, while two of the other five were dual Group One placed. The strength in depth of the field was exemplified on British Champions Day 2014, in Europe's richest mile race: the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. First, second and third all ran in the 2014 2000 Guineas: 1st - Charm Spirit (5th in 2000 Guineas); 2nd - Night of Thunder (1st in 2000 Guineas); 3rd - Toormore (7th in 2000 Guineas). On Racing
