2027 Queen Mary Stakes Preview

Named after Queen Mary and established in 1921, the Queen Mary Stakes is a Group 2 race open to two-year-old fillies only. It is run over a trip of five furlongs and takes place in June of each year at the Royal Ascot meeting.

It's a race where Sir Gordon Richards and Fred Darling have a great record. Darling won the race seven times between 1924 and 1946, and Richards rode five of those winners to success.

How competitive is the Queen Mary Stakes market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2009, when the race had an over-round of 122%. The race in 2019 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 142%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Queen Mary Stakes, the over-round has been 129%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £129 which is bet.

Below you will find the 2027 Queen Mary 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 Mary Stakes Trend Analysis.

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

  1. Anthem Alexander (59.15) in 2014
  2. Maqaasid (59.17) in 2010
  3. Ceiling Kitty (59.18) in 2012

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 Mary Stakes next time out, then you would have backed a total of 6 winners. Backing all 18 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of +6.99. Remember to use the racing predictions along with the information on this page to find a bet on the 2027 Queen Mary Stakes.

Over the last 20 renewals, it was Anthem Alexander, trained by Edward Lynam and ridden by Pat Smullen, who set the fastest winning time in the Queen Mary Stakes. That runner won the race in a time of 59.15 in 2014. At the other end of the scale, it was the combination of trainer Mark Johnston and jockey Frankie Dettori with Raffle Prize who set the slowest winning time; the race-winning time was 1:01.58 in the 2019 renewal.

What the expert says...
If you are looking for a decent prep race, then you will be looking for a while! Of the last fourteen winners, they have come from twelve different tracks, let alone races!
