Queen Anne Stakes Race Guide

The Queen Anne Stakes is named after the monarch who first brought racing to the Ascot downs in 1711. The Queen Anne Stakes is the second Group One race run on the first day of the Royal Ascot meeting, and is open to 4-year old and older thoroughbreds.

Run over 1 mile on Ascot Racecourse, the Queen Anne Stakes did not always enjoy the status it has today. The race was originally run as a Group 3 race, before being upgraded to Group Two status in 1984 and subsequently to Group One status in 2003.

Queen Anne Stakes Betting

The Queen Anne Stakes is amongst the initial Group One races run over 1 mile during the flat racing season. This means punters often have to look to the form of runners during the previous season, in order to find clues regarding their prospects for this race.

The scarcity of information on racehorse form makes the Queen Anne Stakes a notoriously tricky race to bet on. Inexperienced punters will benefit from keeping track of betting and odds in the ante-post betting markets, which are opened up several days prior to the race.

The Queen Anne Stakes is one of the few races at the Royal Ascot meeting where punters stand to gain from backing a particular trainer. Sir Michael Stoute and Saeed bin Suroor won the Queen Anne Stakes exclusively between them from 1996 to 2003, which indicates that punters should pay special attention to these trainers’ entries in their betting.

Queen Anne Stakes Winners

Refuse to Bend is one of the most talented racehorses to have participated in, and won, the Queen Anne Stakes. Refuse to Bend made a name for himself by winning the Queen Anne Stakes in 2004, after claiming victory in the 2,000 Guineas one year earlier.

However, it is the trainers who steal the limelight in this Group One race. Saeed bin Suroor has a spectacular record in the Queen Anne Stakes, having claimed a record of four consecutive wins in the race from 1996 to 1999. Sir Michael Stoute launched an assault on this record, claiming three race wins from 2000 to 2002. However Stoute’s impressive run of wins was ended by Suroor, who won the race once again in 2003, thereby protecting his record and claiming his 5th Queen Anne Stakes winner’s title.
