Queen Elizabeth Stakes

Looking for this year’s Queen Elizabeth Stakes betting odds, field and tips? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know before this year’s race.

Run over 2,000 metres at Randwick Racecourse as the feature race on Day 2 of ‘The Championships’ each April, the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes is a lucrative $5 million weight-for-age contest that attracts a quality line-up of gallopers each Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival. 

The Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill on Golden Slipper Day as well as the Group 1 Tancred Stakes (2400m) are the key lead-ups into the Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

UK raider Addeybb (2020) followed by the fellow William Haggas-trained international Dubai Honour (2023) are the last horses to complete the Ranvet Stakes – Queen Elizabeth Stakes double. In 2020, Chris Waller’s brilliant mare Verry Elleegant ran second in both events with a Tancred Stakes victory in between, further franking the form. 

In 2021 Addeybb went back-to-back in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes when again beating home Verry Elleegant. The duo also ran one-two but in reverse order in that year’s Ranvet Stakes results, while Verry Elleegant went on to win that year’s Melbourne Cup at Flemington in the spring.

In 2024 Pride Of Jenni led all-the-way out to up to 30 lengths in the run to make a mess of her rivals with a record-breaking 6.5 length Queen Elizabeth Stakes victory.

In 2023 fellow UK raider Dubai Honour became the last horse to do the Ranvet – Queen Elizabeth double.
• Mighty Mares: The mares have won the Queen Elizabeth Stakes eight times since 1987 boosted by the three-peat of Winx (2017-19), while the fellow Waller-trained mare Verry Elleegant ran second twice in 2020 and 2021. Pride Of Jenni (2024) was the last Queen Elizabeth Stakes winning mare.
