Pourquoi c'est important
The 1,000 Guineas is a prestigious classic horse race held annually at Newmarket. Aidan O'Brien is a renowned trainer with a history of success in this event.
The 2026 season's first two Classics are in the books. While George Boughey and Billy Loughnane prevailed in yesterday’s 2,000 Guineas, Aidan O’Brien returned to the winner's circle in the 1,000 Guineas as True Love powered to victory.
True Love, the second-string runner according to betting, tracked the pace set by Venetian Lace before taking the lead a furlong out. Despite drifting to the right in the final stages, she secured a convincing win. This victory marks O'Brien's eighth 1,000 Guineas win.
Following the race, True Love has been cut to even-money favorite for the Irish 1,000 Guineas and 5-2 favorite for the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. Jockey Wayne Lordan, who secured his third 1,000 Guineas win, praised the filly's power and temperament.
Elsewhere on the card, Jancis won the Dahlia Stakes at 18-1, while Goblet of Fire landed a handicap win, and Jennifer Jane took the Pretty Polly Stakes.
