Queen Of The Turf Stakes

The Queen Of The Turf Stakes is a 1600 metre weight-for-age race for fillies and mares aged three-years-old and over run by the Australian Turf Club. It was held at Rosehill in early April on Golden Slipper Day until 2014 when it was run a week later and moved to Randwick.

  • Race Type: Group 1, 3YO & Up Fillies and Mares WFA
  • Distance: 1,600 metres
  • Track: Randwick Racecourse, Sydney, New South Wales
  • Date: Saturday 14 April 2018

The Queen Of The Turf Stakes, also called the Coolmore Legacy Stakes, was first held as a principal race over 8 furlongs (about 1600 metres) at Rosehill in 1972 when it was won by Refulgence in 1 minute 30 seconds. It moved to the metric measure of 1500 metres in 1973 and remained at Rosehill until 2013 although in 2008 it was held at Canterbury Racecourse. In 2014 it was moved to Randwick and the distance increased to 1600 metres.

From 2005 the Queen Of The Turf has been a Group 1 race. The major lead-up race has been the Group 1 Coolmore Classic normally held 4 weeks before over 1500 metres at Rosehill. The Coolmore Classic is a handicap so the better quality females are more suited by the weight-for-age conditions. Another 1500 metre lead-up race is the Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes for three-year-olds at set weights.

Winners of this race require strength, elegance and speed. Three-year-old fillies have a reasonable record in this race and horses that run well may go on to contest the Doncaster. No Queen Of The Turf winner has won the Doncaster although some have been placed.
