Source-derived summary

The 2007 1000 Guineas Stakes was a horse race held at Newmarket Racecourse on Sunday 6 May 2007. It was the 194th running of the 1000 Guineas.

The winner was Michael Ryan's Finsceal Beo, a chestnut filly trained by Jim Bolger at Coolcullen in County Carlow and ridden by Kevin Manning. Finsceal Beo's victory was the first in the race for her owner, trainer and jockey.

The contenders

The race attracted an unusually large field of twenty-one runners, seventeen trained in the United Kingdom, three in Ireland and one in Sweden. The favourite was the Jim Bolger-trained Finsceal Beo who had been named European Champion Two-year old Filly in 2006 when she had won the Rockfel Stakes in England and the Prix Marcel Boussac in France. The other Irish runners were Arch Swing the winner of the C. L. Weld Park Stakes and the Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas Trial Stakes, the Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Miss Beatrix, and the Aidan O'Brien-trained Theann. The best of the British-trained runners appeared to be the Cheveley Park Stakes winner Indian Ink and Simply Perfect, the winner of the May Hill Stakes and the Fillies' Mile and Scarlet Runner (Princess Margaret Stakes, Nell Gwyn Stakes). Finsceal Beo headed the betting at odds of 5/4 ahead of Indian Ink (17/2), Simply Perfect (9/1) and Arch Swing (10/1).

The race

Shortly after the start, the fillies split into two groups across the wide Newmarket straight, with the larger group racing up the stands side (the left of the course from the jockeys' viewpoint), with the smaller group running down the centre of the course.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2007 horserace at Newmarket Racecourse, Suffolk, England. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16820977. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007, 1000 and 2006.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
