"The Finish of the Two Thousand Guineas at Newmarket" is a notable painting by the 19th-century British artist Samuel Henry Gordon Alken, who specialized in sporting and animal subjects. This work captures the dramatic conclusion of the 2000 Guineas Stakes, a prestigious flat horse race at Newmarket Racecourse in Suffolk, England. The race, which was first run in 1809, is one of the five British Classic Races and is traditionally held in late April or early May.

Alken's painting vividly depicts the intensity and excitement of the race's final moments as thoroughbred horses and their jockeys vie for victory. The artist's attention to detail in the portrayal of the horses' muscular forms and the jockeys' colorful silks reflects his deep understanding of equine anatomy and the sport of horse racing. The dynamic composition and sense of movement within the piece are characteristic of Alken's style, which often conveyed the thrill and elegance of equestrian sports.

The artwork serves not only as a visual record of a significant sporting event but also as a historical document reflecting the social and cultural importance of horse racing in British society during the 19th century. "The Finish of the Two Thousand Guineas at Newmarket" is a fine example of Alken's work and contributes to the genre of British sporting art, which celebrated the leisure activities and pastimes of the aristocracy and the wealthy elite.

As a piece of cultural heritage, the painting is of interest to art historians, equine enthusiasts, and those studying the history of sport. It is representative of the era in which Alken worked and provides insight into the techniques and themes prevalent among artists of the sporting genre during that period.
