What is the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes?
The King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes is a Group 1 race run at Ascot in the middle of the Flat season, and it's a top-class race that attracts the premier middle distance horses in Europe with the three-year-old Classic generation competing with the older horses, who may have been last seen running in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot. A return to the Berkshire venue a following month will give the contenders a chance to show their class on the track, and while a Royal Ascot win could be on most trainer's plans at the start of the season, a win in the King George is one of the most prestigious wins to have on a CV.
First held in 1951, the King George has grown in stature and has been won by some sensational equine talents including the likes of Nijinsky (1970), Mill Reef (1971), Dancing Brave (1986) and most recently Harbinger, who was a runaway winner of the 2010 King George at Ascot. A few dual winners include Dahlia and Enable have shown that star acts can return and dominate once again, but a race jam-packed with quality, the King George is one of the summer highlights for racing fans.
