The 2,000 Guineas in 2010
The 2,000 Guineas promises to be one of the highlights of the 2010 flat racing season. Last year we saw Sea The Stars emerge from nowhere to win the 2,000 Guineas, beating race favourite, Delegator, into second place. The 2,000 Guineas winner then embarked on a record-breaking spree of Group 1 wins which culminated in a famous victory in the 2009 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
With Sea The Stars’ feats forming the backdrop to this year’s race, few would bank on antepost favourite, St. Nicholas Abbey, taking victory in an event that hasn’t been won by a favourite in three years. Awzaan stands out an entry capable of upsetting the top three in the betting at the 2010 2,000 Guineas, while we’ve marked the race favourite out as a top lay bet opportunity in our race preview.
