The Queen Of The Turf Stakes 2023 winner was the consistent Chris Waller-trained Atishu ($10) who won by two-and-a-half lengths after producing a devastating late turn of foot.

The 2024 Queen Of The Turf Stakes winner was the in-form Chris Waller-trained four-year-old Zougotcha ($3.50F) who came off a lead-up victory in the Coolmore Classic to salute for the punters in a narrow finish over last year’s champion, the fellow Waller-trained Atishu.
