YOU have to start your Qipco 2000 Guineas analysis with Aidan O’Brien. The champion trainer has trained the Guineas winner 10 times, more times than any other trainer in the history of the race. And it’s a long history. It goes back over 200 years.

It has been said that he’s going through a quiet spell in the Guineas now, that he hasn’t had the winner since Magna Grecia in 2019.
