The 2011 2000 Guineas Stakes was the 203rd running of the 2000 Guineas Stakes horse race. It was run over one mile at Newmarket Racecourse on 30 April 2011.[1]

This race was the sixth of Frankel's unbeaten 14 race winning streak, his second win as a 3-year-old and his second Group 1 victory, following his victory in the Dewhurst Stakes at the same racecourse in 2010.

Rerouted was entered into the race primarily to act as a pacemaker to the highly promising Frankel, however with Frankel being drawn in stall number one and Rerouted in stall number thirteen, the opposite side of the Rowley Mile racecourse at Newmarket, the pacemaking job was almost rendered obsolete.

Such was Frankel's pace that he drew clear from the field from the off, pacemaker and all. Where some may have considered it a risk for jockey Tom Queally to allow Frankel to set its own pace, it became clear that Frankel was a very special horse on this day as he quickly established an insurmountable lead and won the race in one of the most dominant displays in any British classic.
