The Queen Elizabeth Stakes is held on Day 2 of ‘The Championships’ during the prestigious Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival at the state’s premier track, Royal Randwick, on the second Saturday of April*.
*In 2021 the Queen Elizabeth Stakes ran on the third Saturday of April with all race meetings of the autumn in Sydney from Slipper Day onwards postponed a week due to the weather.
The Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes is run at weight-for-age conditions over 2000 metres and, after receiving a substantial prizemoney increase in 2013, is now worth a staggering $5 million in prize money as of 2023.
For the 2020 running of the Queen Elizabeth Stakes the prize money was cut to $2 million due to the COVID-19 pandemic but was boosted back to $4 million in 2021 and increased again another $ million ahead of the 2023 edition.
The Group 1 event generally draws the best weight-for-age horses from right around Australia as well as international raiders set to make the trip in coming years. That came to fruition in 2020 with the William Haggas-trained UK raider Addeybb becoming the first Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner in the post-Winx era.
In 2021 Addeybb successfully defended his title going back-to-back with the Waller-trained Verry Elleegant – subsequent 2021 Melbourne Cup champion – second in both 2020 and 2021.
Verry Elleegant was favourite in the 2022 Queen Elizabeth Stakes, but only managed to run a disappointing fifth behind upset winner Think It Over.
The 2022 Queen Elizabeth Stakes form was franked with the runner-up Zaaki going on to run top three in a host of subsequent elite level races, finish fourth in that year’s Cox Plate results and successfully defend his title that spring in Flemington’s Group 1 VRC Champions Stakes.
In 2023 UK horseman William Haggas returned and won the Queen Elizabeth Stakes for the third time in four years with his classy raider Dubai Honour saluting by 2.45 lengths on the back of a Ranvet Stakes victory.
The 2023 ATC Queen Elizabeth Stakes ran on Saturday April 8, 2023 offering an unprecedented $5 million in stakes and was won by sizzling UK raider Dubai Honour ($2.30F) who easily accounted for his Aussie rivals again.

2023 Queen Elizabeth Stakes Results
- 1st: #2 Dubai Honour ($2.30F)
- 2nd: #5 Mo’unga
- 3rd: #1 Anamoe
The William Haggas-trained UK raider Dubai Honour ($2.30F) was too good for his Australian rivals again backing up from a tearaway Ranvet Stakes success to beat home the Annabel Neasham-trained Mo’unga, who ran the fastest last 200m of the meeting, by nearly two-and-a-half-lengths in the 2023 Queen Elizabeth Stakes results while Godolphin gun Anamoe was forced to settle for third.

2023 Queen Elizabeth Stakes Form
The Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) and Group 1 Tancred Stakes (2400m) are generally considered the best Queen Elizabeth form lead-up races, but in recent years the winners of the Group 1 event have come from a wide variety of races.
The Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m) and Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) have both developed into key lead-up races, the latter most recently producing the mighty Winx (2017-19) who did the double three years running.
In 2020 the UK raider Addeybb became the latest horse to do the Ranvet Stakes – Queen Elizabeth Stakes double. In 2021 he atoned for a lead-up second in the Ranvet Stakes to Verry Elleegant to turn the tables on her and win the 2021 Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
In 2023 another William Haggas-trained UK raider, Dubai Honour, became the third international in four years and second to complete the Ranvet Stakes – Queen Elizabeth Stakes double.
The 2021 Queen Elizabeth Stakes form was franked with the runner-up Verry Elleegant going on to win the $8 million Melbourne Cup over two miles at Flemington that November.

2023 Queen Elizabeth Stakes Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Queen Elizabeth Stakes 2023 betting tips on the $5 million end-of-autumn feature race!
- Favourite: #2 Dubai Honour ($2.45 at time of publish)
William Haggas prepared Addeybb for back-to-back Queen Elizabeth wins in 2020 and 2021, and now the UK horseman returns and brings a very smart horse to the table. Dubai Honour put the writing on the wall with a barnstorming debut down under winning the Ranvet Stakes at the distance by a tearaway four lengths. Has the benefit of that run and will only be improving off that. The Ranvet is the right form race to follow into this. That said, could he have just freakishly peaked first-up at Rosehill? Will he want the 2000m at Randwick again? And can Tom Marquand produce the same sort of ride as Ryan Moore? The favourite is pretty short. Could be value on the second line of betting.
- The Danger: #1 Anamoe ($2.60 at time of publish)
The markets suggest a two-horse battle to the line between Dubai Honour and Godolphin gun Anamoe who also won a Group 1 at Rosehill last time out when producing another perfectly-timed performance in the George Ryder over 1500m. He has been building all prep, is unbeaten this time in, and now looks ready for his Grand Final. Rock-hard fit James Cummings’ star four-year-old should relish the 2000m fourth-up with J. Mac in the saddle as always. Strap in for a Queen Elizabeth for the ages!
- Roughie Of The Race: #4 Cascadian ($12 at time of publish)
Godolphin could have two in the finish with Cascadian at a nice price to finish near his younger stablemate. The evergreen eight-year-old has been excellent his last two in Melbourne bringing in some superior form lines form down south. Two back he ran an eye-catching second in the $5 million The All-Star Mile at The Valley. Mr Brightside won that then successfully defended his Doncaster Mile title here in Sydney last weekend. Cascadian meanwhile backed-up and won the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) at this distance at Flemington. Barrier five and Ben Melham here, the old guy has plenty of form at Randwick and can surprise a few at a price.
2023 Queen Elizabeth Stakes Field & Barriers
The Queen Elizabeth Stakes Field is released on the Tuesday before the race.

ATC Queen Elizabeth Stakes History
The Queen Elizabeth Stakes has undergone plenty of changes since it was first run in 1851 when Cossack won the event. Up until 1872, the event was known as the Queen’s Plate and it was then changed to the AJC Plate. In 1954, the race was titled the Queen Elizabeth Stakes and has maintained that name ever since.
Originally raced over 4800m, the distance slowly decreased to 3600m, 2800m, 2400m, 2200m, and finally stopped at 2000m.

|---|---|
| Fastest Time: | 2:01.2 – Intergaze in 1997 |
| Slowest Time: | 2:17.00 – Sydeston in 1990 |
| Most wins by a Jockey: | 5 wins – Damien Oliver (2002, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2016) |
2023 Queen Elizabeth Stakes Winners
The Queen Elizabeth Stakes is the feature weight-for-age race during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival and has been won by some of the biggest names in the history of Australian racing. Archer (1862) was the first big name to win the Queen Elizabeth Stakes and the race has since been taken out by equine legends like Carbine (1889, 1890, 1891), Poseidon (1908), Phar Lap (1930), Peter Pan (1932), Russia (1947 and 1948), Tulloch (1958, 1960 and 1961), Ming Dynasty (1978), Veandercross (1993), Doriemus (1996), Might And Power (1998), Lonhro (2003), More Joyous (2012), and the world’s best mare Winx (2017, 2018, 2019).
In 2020 the form of the Queen Elizabeth Stakes winners became international with UK raider Addeybb saluting for the punters. He returned and again beat home Verry Elleegant in the 2021 Queen Elizabeth Stakes results. Trainer William Haggas was back in 2023 winning the Queen Elizabeth Stakes for the third time with Dubai Honour.
2023 Queen Elizabeth Stakes Betting
Queen Elizabeth Stakes betting is generally very interesting for punters as the Group 1 event has thrown up some interesting results in the past thirty years. The Queen Elizabeth Stakes is well known for having short-priced favourites as many of the most successful and most popular horses in Australian racing have contested the race at the height of their powers.
Class gallopers like Sydeston (1990), Rough Habit (1992), Veandercross (1993), Durbridge (1994), Jeune (1995), Might And Power (1998), Lonhro (2003), Grand Armee (2005) Eremein (2006) and More Joyous (2012) have all taken out the race as short-priced favourites, but there have also been a number of upsets. It’s A Dundeel was beaten by Reliable Man as an unbackable favourite in the 2013 edition of the race, while Sarrera won the race in 2008 at the lucrative odds of $51.
The recent record of favourites in Queen Elizabeth Stakes betting was boosted by the trio of wins by odds-on fancy, equine superstar Winx (2017-19) followed by that of European raider Addeybb in 2020. Addeybb jumped the second favourite in 2021 when going back-to-back in the event before his stablemate Dubai Honour won the race in 2023 as the $2.30 favourite.
