The 206th running of the 2000 Guineas Stakes has claim to the strongest 2000 Guineas field in history, in terms of quality in depth. In surpasses the 2008 running, which included the first two home in that seasons Breeders' Cup Classic and Group 1 winners: Henrythenavigator (2000 Guineas Stakes, Irish 2,000 Guineas, St James's Palace Stakes, Sussex Stakes), New Approach (National Stakes, Dewhurst Stakes, Epsom Derby, Irish Champion Stakes, Champion Stakes), Raven's Pass (Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, Breeders' Cup Classic) and Ibn Khaldun (Racing Post Trophy). It can also be argued that the quality of the edition, surpasses that of the acclaimed 1971 running with included Brigadier Gerard, Mill Reef and My Swallow; between the three they won every major juvenile race in Europe, whilst Brigadier Gerard and Mill reef have claim to being the best European horse of the 20th Century.
