Looking for early info on this year’s Queen Of The Turf Stakes? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know before this year’s race.
The Queen Of The Turf Stakes (recently known as the Coolmore Legacy Stakes) is a 1600m mile showdown for fillies and mares held on Day 2 of Sydney’s ‘The Championships’ at Royal Randwick each April. Offering $1 million in prize money, the weight-for-age event offers a nice next-up option for runners out of the Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m).
Con Te Partiro (2020) was the last mare to complete the Coolmore Classic – Queen Of The Turf Stakes double, a popular punt during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
First run in 1972, the event has been won by plenty of quality mares including More Joyous (2011-12) and Alizee (2018).

Which Horse Will Win The Queen Of The Turf Stakes in 2022
The best way to pick which female galloper will win the Queen Of The Turf Stakes in 2022 is to take into account their lead-up Sydney autumn racing form, assess the barriers, look for proven Group performing mares and those at longer odds with the favourites having a poor recent record.
Additional factors to consider when picking the Queen Of The Turf Stakes winner include:
- Four-Year-Old Factor: Four-year-old mares have the best strike-rate in the race over the past decade.
- Form Runners: From 2005-2022 just six Queen Of The Turf Stakes winners ran worse than third in their lead-up performance.
