The 1999 1000 Guineas Stakes was a horse race held at Newmarket Racecourse on Sunday 2 May 1999. It was the 186th running of the 1000 Guineas. As the traditional Rowley Mile course was being redeveloped the race was run on Newmarket's July Course. The winner was Khalid Abdullah's Wince, a British-bred bay filly trained at Newmarket in Suffolk by Henry Cecil and ridden by Kieren Fallon. Wince's victory was the first in the race for her owner. Cecil had won the race five times before with One in a Million (1979), Fairy Footsteps (1981), Oh So Sharp (1985), Bosra Sham (1996) and Sleepytime (1997), the last of which had given Fallon his only previous winner in the race. Wince's win was also the first and only British classic success for Wince's sire Selkirk. (en)
