The AJC Queen Elizabeth Stakes has changed its name and distance over the years, but can be traced back to 1851 when it was won by Cossack who also won the following year. Back then the distance was 24 furlongs (about 4800 metres) and it a race that is often won by tough stayers.

It is interesting that a mare hasn’t won for over twenty years, with the last being Dinky Flyer in 1987. Several horses have won it more than once including Grand Armee (2004 & 2005), Intergaze (1997 & 1999) and Tulloch (1958, 1960 & 1961).
