Gosden aims for first 2000 Guineas win with Field Of Gold

John Gosden, a highly accomplished British trainer with victories in all other English Classics, is aiming to secure his first 2000 Guineas win at Newmarket with the favored colt Field Of Gold. Field Of Gold's impressive progression from two to three years old and a dominant win in the Craven Stakes have made him the leading contender for Saturday’s race, a notable gap in Gosden’s otherwise glittering career. Gosden, now jointly training with his son Thady, downplays personal pressure, noting it is more significant to observers than to himself, but recognises the excitement of having a strong contender. The race also features strong opposition, including Aidan O’Brien’s Expanded and Godolphin’s Ruling Court, reflecting a competitive field. Gosden has had limited participation in the 2000 Guineas over the years, and Field Of Gold represents his best chance yet to complete his set of English Classic wins. The outcome will determine whether Gosden can finally add the elusive 2000 Guineas to his distinguished record.
