The 2000 Guineas winner for 2009 is...

Katie Lee!

Replay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Hyvcnk1EI

She's had nine starts now - eight of them in stakes races - for 4 wins, 3 seconds and 1 third.

She's the 5th filly to beat the boys in the 2000 Guineas. On Saturday, she'll try something no other horse has ever done - the 2000 Guineas-1000 Guineas double. She's an even-money favourite to pull it off.

If she runs like that again, I don't think any filly can get near her in the 1000.

Other stakes races from Guineas day...
