There are two outstanding jockeys for this race, Sir Gordon Richards who won the race a total of 6 times between 1925 and 1952. Frankie Dettori matched this 6 win run when he finished on board Ramonti in the 2007 race.
Most notable race performance by a horse in the Queen Anne Stakes must go to Frankel when he earned flat racing’s highest rating (147) for his 11 length romp home in 2012. You can watch this brilliant performance in the video:

What's Our Queen Anne Stakes Tips for Royal Ascot?
We've been studying the cards, form, stats, trends and more for the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot, and here's our thoughts ahead of the race:
The Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes kicks off the Royal Ascot festival and currently we have a short-priced favourite in Palace Pier, and with some justification after winning the Bet365 mile at Sandown. On the eye it was an impressive 8-length victory and he quickened up well from 2 furlongs out. However this result was arguably somewhat flattering due to the pace collapse and the under-performance of Happy Power and Khuzaam. It was the 28/1 shot Bless Him who finished second, while the other market rivals really disappointed, so it might be worth steering clear of the 7/4 top price.
This presents an opportunity for some each way prospects, and there appears to be much more value in backing Lope Y Fernandez at an each way price than Palace Pier at win-only odds. The performance of Lope Y Fernandez in the Heritage Stakes at Leopardstown in April appears to be the best piece of form this year on British or Irish soil. That was just his third start over a mile after having placed in his previous two starts in the Irish 2000 Guineas and the Breeders Cup Mile. In a recent interview, Aiden O’Brien admitted they didn’t work out the best trip for this horse until after the Breeders Cup and now realise they are an out-and-out mile prospect. It looks to be the trainer’s best chance in the race and he is the leading trainer in the race over the last 20 years with 4 victories. With 8 of the last 12 winners being 4-year-olds and 10 of the last 12 winners being in the top 3 in the betting this would appear to be a strong pick at the prices.
Looking further down the market for a juicy each way price, Sinawann looks overpriced currently. He finished a creditable sixth in the 2000 Guineas last season, just a couple of lengths behind Lope Y Fernandez, and was short of room in the closing stages on that occasion. That was followed up with two impressive performances at Leopardstown, firstly winning a Group 3 before finishing second by a head in a Group 2 when last seen. They were also short of room in that race so that performance can perhaps be upgraded and being a 4-year-old has the right profile to make an impact in this race.
Antepost Bets:
- 1pt each way Lope y Fernandez
- 0.5pts each way Sinawann
On the Day we said:
PALACE PIER 2.30 – Ascot (2/5) – It is very hard to oppose PALACE PIER as he is a top-class racehorse and is miles clear on ratings. He won 2 Group 1s as a 3-y-o, including St James's Palace at Royal Ascot. And was an impressive winner of Group 2 at Sandown and Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury this term. He will be very difficult to beat.
How did we do?
PALACE PIER (SP 2/7) – WON the race beating our Antepost selection Lope y Fenandez by 1 and a half lengths
The Queen Anne Stakes is a bit of an enigma this year with none of the leading contenders ticking every box. Last years St James' Palace winner CIRCUS MAXIMUS is a warm favourite at around 5/2 with Dahlia winner TEREBELLUM and FOX CHAIRMAN next in the market at 7/1 and 8/1 respectively.
Keith's final choice
13:50 TEREBELLUM 7/2 – While dual Group 1 winner CIRCUS MAXIMUS merits respect the improver is TEREBELLUM who won the Group 3 Dalhia Stakes at Newmarket 10 days ago shaping up like she would be even better dropped back in trip.
How it fared
TEREBELLUM (5/1) was second just losing out in a battle with CIRCUS MAXIMUS which went right to the line.
To be certain of getting our final thoughts on every Royal Ascot race, make sure you have joined the FRT VIP Club.
This is what Keith said about the 2019 Queen Anne Stakes:
Leading Contenders
MUSTASHRY 5/1 – Course and distance winner. Last month he added the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury to his already impressive CV, winning with some authority despite drifting left.
LAURENS 8/1 – Absolute superstar last season. Second in the 1000 Guinea’s then going on to win five Group 1 races. Second in the Lockinge behind MUSTASHRY on only start this season.
LE BRIVIDO 8/1 – Course winner. Fifth in the Lockinge last time. Has never won at further than seven furlongs so stamina is a worry.
AUXERRE 12/1 – Won the Lincoln at Doncaster in March but this is a big step up from handicap company.
Conclusion
MUSHASHRY and LAURENS look to be the pair to concentrate on and even though the latter must make up 2½ lengths on their last meeting she is sure to strip fitter in this and can take advantage of her 3lb fillies’ allowance.
My selection LAURENS 8/1 each way.

Race One | 2:30pm – Queen Anne Stakes 
PALACE PIER
No surprises here who the bulk of the selections are for and it's Frankie on PALACE PIER that gets just short of 70%.
You won't get rich at odds of 2/5 though and the best of the rest include LORD GLITTERS and ORDER OF AUSTRALIA both with 7% of your selections.
AP O'Brien's LOPE Y FERNANDEZ worthy of a mention on 6.5%.
Ryan Moore’s ride, Circus Maximus, gets the lion's share of selections here with 28% of your votes. Frankie breathing down his neck though with 15% of you on the next best, Terebellum.
2:30pm – Queen Anne Stakes
First up we have the Queen Anne Stakes and it’s Laurens and Mustashry who head up the selections from your Pick 6’s. Laurens the clear fave with over 30% of the selections, Mustashry having 27.7%.
1 Palace Pier 2/7F
2 Lope Y Fernandez 12/1
3 Sir Busker 22/1
11 ran Distances: 1½l, 1l, ¾l

3 Marie's Diamond 40/1
15 ran NR: Bless Him Distances: hd, 3l, hd
Time: 1m 40.05s (slow by 1.45s)
1 Lord Glitters 14/1
2 Beat The Bank 20/1
3 One Master 20/1
4 Romanised 25/1
16 ran Distances: nk, ¾l, ¾l
Time: 1m 37.40s (fast by 1.20s)
Our Verdict:
The favourites never had a look in, finishing mid division, it was all to play for with the outsiders though, with Lord Glitters raising his head just at the right time when they crossed the line together with Beat the Bank, who he stole the race from by a neck.
Both Keith, our members and the betting public all fell for the favourites Laurens and Mustashry who finished 6th and 7th respectively.
Watch the thrilling finish of the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot 2019, and watch Lord Glitters win the race by a neck from Beat the Bank:
