Vincent O'Brien leads in College Chapel and Lester after their emotional victory in the 1993 Cork and Orrery Stakes. It was the trainers twenty-fifth and last winner at the Royal Meeting, thirty seven years after Adare had got him off the mark in the 1956 Jersey Stakes.

1985 2000 Guineas winner Shadeed (Walter Swinburn) bounced back from his Derby disappointment to win the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes from the blinkered Teleprompter (winner of the race the previous year) and Zaizafon, in the Khalid Abdullah colours... Timeform Rating 135.

Having missed the entire Royal Meeting in 1962, Lester Piggott won his fourth Gold Cup in 1963 on the gigantic Twilight Alley, a horse with very delicate legs. It was hailed as one of the great training feats of his handler Noel Murless.

Trelawny joined the Manton stable of George Todd in 1962, and so the Ascot legend began. On the opening day of the Royal Meeting, he won the Ascot Stakes on the bridle with Scobie Breasley up (pictured) and was turned out again on Friday to add the Queen Alexandra Stakes.

One of the great Gold Cup performances in 1949, saw Alycidon defeat Black Tarquin by 5 lengths with a further 10 lengths back to the third placed Heron Bridge. With the aid of two pacemakers (Stockbridge and Benny Lynch) Alycidon ran an exceptional opponent into the ground.

Zafonic's performance at Headquarters in 1993, when defeating Barathea by 3 1/2 lengths in a track record 1:35.32s, marked him down as the best 2000 Guineas winner since Dancing Brave. It was a fourth career Group One for the brilliant son of Gone West. Timeform Timefigure 134.

Four-year-old Desert Deer, carrying 9st, won the 2002 one mile Shadwell Stud Joel Stakes (Listed) by half-a-length from Masterful. His winning time of 1:34.54s broke the all-aged 8 furlong track record on Newmarket's Rowley Mile course (0.54s inside Mister Bailey's old standard).

Although it was Nimbus who won the 1949 2000 Guineas, it was the short-head runner-up Abernant who collected the plaudits. Three lengths clear coming out of the dip, he was only caught in the final stride. Abernant later cemented his reputation as the centuries greatest sprinter.

Bought by David Robinson for 2,700gns at the second July Sale at Newmarket, Our Babu was sent to Geoffrey Brooke's stable. He topped the 1954 Free Handicap, and won a terrific race for the 1955 2000 Guineas, defeating Tamerlaine and Klairon by a neck and a short-head.

A top-class juvenile who headed the 1947 Free Handicap, My Babu won a thrilling 2000 Guineas the following spring. Ridden by Charlie Smirke, he justified favouritism with a head defeat of The Cobbler (Gordon Richards). My Babu had a Timeform rating of 136 in both 1947 and 1949.

Fred Darling with Big Game (Gordon Richards) on the Beckhampton gallops. Leased to King George VI, Big Game justified odds of 11/8 on in the 1942 2000 Guineas with a 4L defeat of Watling Street. At 6/4 on for the Derby, he finished sixth to Watling Street after racing too keenly.

George Moore (in the Joel Colours) has 2000 Guineas winner Royal Palace beautifully positioned on the heels of the leaders at Tattenham Corner in the 1967 Derby. After Ribocco (Piggott) threatened briefly 2f out, Royal Palace drew clear for an impressive 2 1/2 length victory.

Given plenty time to develop by trainer Jack Jarvis, Blue Peter went from strength to strength. Successful in the Blue Riband Trial on his reappearance in 1939, he won the 2000 Guineas from stable-mate Admirals Walk, then ran out a most impressive winner of the Derby from Fox Cub

Cameronian was owned by Lord Dewar. The owner died in April 1930, but fortunately for all concerned, the old rule whereby all entries in his name became void with the owners death had been abolished in 1929. Racing for Mr J A Dewar, Cameronian won the 1931 2000 Guineas and Derby.

The beautifully-bred Orwell (b 1929) accumulated a record £18,613 in stakes as a 2-year-old and was described as a juvenile of unusual brilliance. Success in the Greenham Stakes followed on his reappearance before he comfortably landed odds of Evens in the 2000 Guineas.

The brilliant Tetratema (Brownie Carslake up) pictured after winning the 1920 2000 Guineas from Allenby. After failing to stay in the Derby and Eclipse Stakes, the son of The Tetrarch, dominated the sprint division in a way seldom seen... he was never beaten again.

The 1910 Eclipse Stakes was billed as 'the Race of the Century', featuring the fourth clash between Derby hero Lemberg and 2000 Guineas winner Neil Gow. The race finished in a dead-heat and remains the last time both classic winners have met as 3-year-olds in the Sandown feature.
