2011 1000 Guineas

The winner was Godolphin's Blue Bunting, a three-year-old dark grey filly trained at Newmarket, Suffolk by Mahmood Al Zarooni and ridden by Frankie Dettori.

The race attracted a field of eighteen runners, twelve trained in the United Kingdom, four in Ireland and two in France.

Hooray took the early lead and set the pace from the 50/1 outsider Elshabakiya, with Laughing Lashes, Empowering and Misty for Me close behind.

Moonlight Cloud briefly took the advantage with a quarter mile left to run but was quickly overtaken by Together and Maqaasid who raced down the centre of the track, whilst Nova Hawk moved forward and Blue Bunting began to make rapid progress on the stand-side rail.

Of the other fancied runners, Havant finished sixth, Moonlight Cloud seventh, Hooray eighth, Misty for Me eleventh and Memory eighteenth and last.
