UK- Newmarket 2024 Guineas entries

[tenfurlongs]

Flat season in Ireland opens in less than two weeks, with racing at the Curragh on Monday, March 18th. GB begins at Doncaster on Saturday, March 23rd. 

Entries are out for the 2000 Guineas for 3yos on the straight Rowley mile course, and the 1000 Guineas for 3yo fillies, same course and distance. City Of Troy heads the betting among the colts, and Opera Singer is a mild favorite on the distaff side. Both are trained by Aidan O'Brien.

Is there a link with sires listed?

93 foals in Galileo's penultimate crop (3yos of 2024).


2000 Guineas (Colts): None sired by Galileo

1000 Guineas (Fillies): Content (A. O'Brien)


Irish 2000 Guineas (early entries): None sired by Galileo

Irish 1000 Guineas (early entries): Andromeda (A. O'Brien), Content. (I see Team Valor has an entry with Uluru and Joseph O'Brien.)


Obviously he's more of a 12F stallion than a producer of top-class milers, so I'd expect a bigger list when Derby//Oaks rolls around.


Epsom Derby (early entries): Grosvenor Square (A. O'Brien), Roadshow (A. Fabre), Illinois (A. O'Brien), Highbury (unraced), Mr. Hampstead (R. Varian), Sam Hawkens (R. Hannon).

Irish Derby (early entries): Agenda (A. O'Brien), Autumn Winter (A. O'Brien), Bard Of Avon (Joseph O'Brien), Blackpool (A. O'Brien), Bremen (D. O'Brien), Chantilly (A. O'Brien), Chief Little Rock (A. O'Brien), Jan Breugel (A. O'Brien), The Equator (A. O'Brien), and most of the Epsom runners.



Chief Little Rock (GII-placed) on the Fastnet Rock-cross looks to be a good one, also Illinois (GI-placed) and Grosvenor Square (GIII-winner at 9F).

TW, they think Uluru will be more suited to 10F.
