THE QUEEN ANNE STAKES

| 2003 winner Dubai Destination |
|
First run in 1840, the Queen Anne Stakes commemorates the monarch who established racing at Ascot. It was in the early summer of 1711, while being driven in a carriage from Windsor Castle, that Queen Anne decided that Ascot Heath would be a good place to establish a racecourse. A few weeks later, on August 7, 1711, the Royal Meeting was founded.
Always run over a mile, the Queen Anne was elevated to Group One status in 2003 when won by Dubai Destination.
In the early 1980s, Henry Cecil made the race his with four consecutive training wins from 1981-1984.
