Read Timeform's report of the 2000 Guineas which was won by Ruling Court from the fast-finishing Field of Gold.
A Guineas field featuring the first and second from the Dewhurst and the impressive Craven Stakes winner, as well as the National Stakes winner, all horses one would hope to find lining up, though it was a classic where plenty of obvious candidates were missing - Hotazhell, Jonquil, The Lion In Winter, Delacroix and Twain, to name a few - and it probably wasn't so deep a race as one would expect as a result, the form looking that of just an average running, though the first 3 pulled clear and the first 2 at least could well go on and prove better than the bare form; the field raced up the centre, the early pace steady with the tempo lifting only after 3f out, the winner making his move ahead of the runner-up, though he found a better turn of foot as well, the third, on the other side of the pack, quickening the best but outstayed late on, the trio doing well to pull clear.
