Aidan O'Brien is so confident in 2000 Guineas contender City of Troy that he has dropped three others from the running, calling the 3-year-old the greatest juvenile he has ever trained But the one-mile classic at Newmarket tends to defy expectations, so much so that the pre-race favorite has never won in the last seven years!

Read on to find out how you can watch the 2024 Guineas 2000 live stream from anywhere with a VPN and for free

Will City of Troy buck the trend, or will Rosarion prove its Achilles heel? Trainer Richard Hannon has three wins from four career starts, most recently winning the G1 Jean-Luc Lagardère in France
