The 2011 Queen Of The South Stakes was won by Goon Serpent from Lady Lynette with Ocean Challenger third.
The Queen Of The South Stakes is a good race for fillies & mares during the Adelaide carnival and the set weight & penalty conditions of the race suits the classier females entered for the event. The race will attract the best available females locally and any interested visitors from interstate, and tends to be won by an above average filly or mare.
Fillies & mares who can run a strong mile or further are best suited to this event as the field is generally a large one, full of talented gallopers, and the long straight lends itself to those gallopers who are strong at the finish.
Goon Serpent (2011) ran third in the listed City Of Adelaide Stakes over 1400m at Morphettville prior to her success in this event and recent Queen Of The South Stakes winners have been Returntosender (2010) and Bird Of Fire (2009).
