Famous Queen’s Plate Glorious Stakes Winners
This race was first run in 1979 as the Alycidon Stakes, named after the 1949 Goodwood Cup winner. It became the Alycidon Glorious Stakes in 1987 and the Queen’s Plate Glorious Stakes in 2019. The race was awarded Group 3 status in 2008.
Major Dick Hern trained Capstan to win this race in 1981 and 1982, dominating the event with four victories in a five-year spell. The last of those was provided by Longboat in 1984, ridden by Brian Rouse. He went on to become a champion stayer, winning the Ascot Gold Cup, Goodwood Cup and Doncaster Cup in 1986.
The race was won by a number of talented staying horses throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s including His Highness The Aga Khan’s Shernazar (1985). He won the Group 2 Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury in 1985 and the Group 3 September Stakes at Kempton Park.
2005 winner Mamool was owned by Godolphin, trained by Saeed bin Suroor and ridden by Kerrin McEvoy. His earlier career wins include the 2003 Yorkshire Cup and Group 1 Grosser Preis von Baden.
2008 winner Sixties Icon had won the 2006 St Leger and 2007 Jockey Club Stakes for Trainer Jeremy Noseda. His Glorious Stakes victory was a welcome return to form and was swiftly followed by victories in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes and Cumberland Lodge Stakes.
Poet’s Word (2017) was the highest class winner of this race in recent seasons, trained by Sir Michael Stoute and ridden by Ryan Moore. He developed into a top-class middle-distance performer, winning the Prince of Wales’s Stakes and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes in 2018. His Prince of Wales’s Stakes win was notable for providing Stoute with an all-time record 76th Royal Ascot winner.
Key Queen’s Plate Glorious Stakes Trials

Shock results are rare in this race with Dubday (11-2 in 2015) the only winner in the last twelve seasons which did not feature in the first three in the betting.
Desert Encounter (2019) was the longest-priced winner during that period at 15-2 third favourite.
The official rating of the winner has consistently been between 108 and 114.
Pablo Escobarr (2020) was on the lower mark while Drunken Sailor (2011), Mirage Dancer (2018) and Desert Encounter (2019) were all rated 114.
