2010 Queen’s Cup Early Race Preview

October 12th, 2010

This year the 2010 Queen’s Cup, previously registered as the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, will take place at Flemington on Saturday October 6.

One of the five Group status races of Emirates Stakes Day, the $250,000 Group 3 Queen’s Cup (2500m) is accompanied on the card by other highlights including the Group 1 Emirates Stakes (2500m) and the Group 1 Patinack Farm Classic (1200m) making this a great day for punters checking out the horse racing odds at Sportsbet.

Punters wanting an early guide to the 2010 Queen’s Cup can look towards previous spring handicap races such as the Group 3 The Lexus Stakes (2500m) the week before at the Flemington track on Derby Day, or the Group 3 Geelong Cup (2400m) at Geelong on October 20.

The Queen’s Cup field is also likely to feature gallopers that have come via more prestigious staying races such as the 2010 Caulfield Cup or the 2010 Melbourne Cup, so watch for runners that showed potential in these races.

Nominations for the 2010 Queen’s Cup will close on November 1 followed by the final field of acceptors on November 4.
