Royal Ascot Queen Anne Stakes 2011 - Canford Cliffs Claims Thrilling Win
The Queen Anne is always an interesting Royal Ascot betting race for 4 year olds and over the mile course. This race always attracts a top class field and is the first major test for some of the previous year's best milers to see if they have trained on over the winter. The Royal Ascot betting on the Queen Anne Stakes is one that tends to challenge punters as it can be difficult to assess who has trained on over the winter however you can get all the Royal Ascot free bets right here.
This has the look of a fantastic race over the mile straight course, we are being treated to some real superstars in the Queen Anne Stakes this year. Goldikova won the race last year and will be the one to beat again this season, she will have to take on the brilliant Canford Cliffs who himself is a horse of the very highest class though in a potentially classic tussle. Aidan O'Brien has also said that Cape Blanco is a likely runner in the race and he is a high class type on his best day, he will be back down to a mile and connections believe it will suit.
