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 2026, 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 2027 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.

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

  1. Ribchester (1:36.60) in 2017
  2. Ramonti (1:37.21) in 2007
  3. Lord Glitters (1:37.40) in 2019

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 8 winners. Backing all 18 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of -2.50. Remember to use the racing predictions along with the information on this page to find a bet on the 2027 Queen Anne Stakes.

The runner that holds the record over the past 20 renewals for the slowest time in the race was set in the 2016 renewal when Tepin from Mark Casse under the guidance of Julien R Leparoux, won in a time of 1:43.98, whilst at the other end of the spectrum, Ribchester, trained by Richard Fahey and ridden by William Buick set the quickest time of 1:36.60 in the 2017 renewal.

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