Highlights of the 1000 and 2000 Guineas Races in Ireland

The Irish Guineas are Group 1 races that attract some of the best three-year-old fillies and colts in Europe. The atmosphere is always electric with anticipation for the inaugural running of the flat racing season, and the Curragh racecourse has been a regular setting for classic races throughout history.

In 2025, we can expect a host of lightning-quick three-year-olds with entries from the world's best trainers like Aidan O'Brien and Charlie Appleby entering the promising Acapulco Bay and Ancient Truth respectively. With more entries yet to be confirmed, it's set to be a weekend of top-class racing.
