Which Horse Will Win The Queen Of The Turf Stakes in 2025
The best way to pick which female galloper will win the Queen Of The Turf Stakes in 2025 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 with Zougotcha (2024) the last to win.
- Form Runners: From 2005-2025 just six Queen Of The Turf Stakes winners ran worse than third in their lead-up performance. The 2020 Doncaster Mile winning mare Nettoyer (Doncaster Mile 9th in 2021) became the first Queen Of The Turf Stakes winner since 2001 to finish worse than sixth in the lead-up.
