 On 5 May Cherry Lass started the 5/4 favourite in a large, but apparently undistinguished field of nineteen, for the 1000 Guineas over Newmarket's Rowley mile course.Ridden by George McCall, Cherry Lass was boxed in and struggled to obtain room for a challenge and then lost ground by swerving when an opening appeared.Under a vigorous ride from McCall, she took the lead a furlong from the finish and won by a length from Koorhaan, with Jongleuse three lengths back in third.
