The two races were established by the Jockey Club under the direction of Sir Charles Bunbury, who had earlier co-founded the Derby. The 1000 Guineas was first run on 28 April 1814, five years after the inaugural running of the equivalent race for both colts and fillies, the 2000 Guineas. It can also serve as the opening leg of the Fillies' Triple Crown, followed by the Oaks and the St Leger, but the feat of winning all three is rarely attempted. It is the second of Britain's five Classic races, and the first of two restricted to fillies. It is run on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late April or early May on the Sunday following the 2000 Guineas Stakes. The 1000 Guineas Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race in Great Britain open to three-year-old fillies. Horse race 1000 Guineas Stakes Group 1 race

The dead forest had been cleared from the west face of the ridge. The wind blew him on his way to Tevar with his news-storm, disaster, winter, war.… Incurious, Rolery turned and followed her own evasive path, which zigzagged upward among the great, dead, groaning trunks until at last on the ridge-top she saw sky break clear before her, and beneath the sky the sea.

Where the path forked at the foot of the Border Ridge she went on straight, but before she had gone ten steps she turned back quickly towards a pulsing rustle that approached from behind.Ī runner came down the northward track, bare feet beating in the surf of leaves, the long string that tied his hair whipping behind him. She followed a faint path that led west, scored and rescored in grooves by the passing southward of the footroots, choked in places by fallen trunks or huge drifts of leaves. She went alone and no one called after her. Slight and shadowy as a wild animal in her light furs, the girl Rolery slipped through the woods, through the storming of dead leaves, away from the walls that stone by stone were rising on the hillside of Tevar and from the busy fields of the last harvest. In the last days of the last moonphase of Autumn a wind blew from the northern ranges through the dying forests of Askatevar, a cold wind that smelled of smoke and snow.

They try to challenge you but just don't give into it. You know about their bullshit the second they exhale so they feel threatened.

Congress now mimics Modi other parties pray for a miracle.In this blistering critique of India from Indira Gandhi to the present, Komireddi lays bare the cowardly concessions to the Hindu right, convenient distortions of India's past and demeaning bribes to minorities that led to Modi's decisive electoral victory. Bigotry has been ennobled as a healthy form of self-assertion, and anti-Muslim vitriol has deluged the mainstream, withreligious minorities living in terror of a vengeful majority. Indian democracy, honed over decades, is now the chief enabler of Hindu extremism. India is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions.Since 2014, the ruling BJP has unleashed forces that are irreversibly transforming the country. After decades of imperfect secularism, presided over by an often corrupt Congress establishment, Nehru's diverse republic has yielded to Hindu nationalism.
