How competitive is the Queen Anne Stakes market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2006 when the race had an over-round of 111%. The race in 2012 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 138%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Queen Anne Stakes, the over-round has been 118%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £118 which is bet.

Below you will find the 2025 Queen Anne Stakes Trends. See which patterns have occurred over the recent renewals that you may be able to use for the next renewal. We also have a section that looks at the Queen Anne Stakes Trend Analysis. With the field now finalised, we have the Queen Anne Stakes Trend Shortlist, which is created using the listed trends.

These are the top three quickest-run Queen Anne Stakes races over the last 20 renewals:

  1. Ribchester (1:36.60) in 2017
  2. Valixir (1:36.64) in 2005
  3. Ramonti (1:37.21) in 2007

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? Over the past 20 renewals, if you had followed the winner of the Queen Anne Stakes next time out, then you would have backed a total of 9 winners. Backing all 19 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of -2.00. Remember to bookmark the racing tips page to access the OLBG racing picks easily daily.

When looking over the past 20 renewals, a time of 1:36.60 was set by Ribchester in 2017, which is the quickest time over that period. The runner was trained by Richard Fahey and ridden by William Buick. The slowest winning time was set in 2016 when Tepin won in a time of 1:43.98, booked to ride was Julien R Leparoux by the trainer Mark Casse.

What the expert says...
When it comes to a good prep race then that would be the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury, that race has provided twelve of the last eighteen winners and five of those have done the double, Canford Cliffs (2011), Frankel (2012), Ribchester (2017), Palace Pier (2021) & Baaeed (2022).
