TIME analysis was in its element over the two days of Newmarket’s Guineas Meeting, with overall times complemented by detailed sectionals from TurfTrax as part of the British Champions Series.

The weather complicated matters somewhat, with a drying wind changing direction between day one and day two, resulting in the times on 1000 Guineas day being a good deal faster than 24 hours earlier. Indeed, the 1000 Guineas itself was the second-fastest in the race’s long history.
