    King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Sponsored by QIPCO) Ascot Racecourse Background Information for the 65th Running Saturday, July 25, 2015 Winners of the Investec Derby going on to the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Sponsored by QIPCO) Unbeaten Golden Horn, whose victories this year include the Investec Derby and the Coral-Eclipse, will try to become the 14th Derby winner to go on to success in Ascot’s midsummer highlight, the Group One King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Sponsored by QIPCO), in the same year and the first since Galileo in 2001. Britain's premier all-aged 12-furlong contest, worth a boosted £1.215 million this year, takes place at 3.50pm on Saturday, July 25. Golden Horn extended his perfect record to five races on July 4 in the 10-furlong Group One Coral- Eclipse at Sandown Park, beating older opponents for the first time in great style. The three-year-old Cape Cross colt, owned by breeder Anthony Oppenheimer and trained by John Gosden in Newmarket, captured Britain's premier Classic, the Investec Derby, over 12 furlongs at Epsom Downs impressively on June 6 after being supplemented following a runaway Betfred Dante Stakes success at York in May.

    Bill Oppenheim, December 13, 2006–Top Value: George Washington FROM THE DESK OF... Bill Oppenheim TOP VALUE: GEORGE WASHINGTON It=s not often the market leads Coolmore--usually, it=s the other way around. So the fact that even they evidently succumbed to the hype about George Washington=s quirks, by setting his initial stud fee at what, in my opinion, is half price compared to his >true= market value, is a hint that shrewd breeders on both sides of the Pond should be taking. Here=s your chance to breed to a horse who should be standing at stud for $150,000 for i60,000--roughly the equivalent of $75,000. That=s why--in spite of the fact that >value= stallions usually stand for either side of $10,000-- George Washington is my choice as >number one value stallion= of the year for 2007. He=s a spectacular individual (top-priced yearling of his year in Europe: 1,150,000gns at Tattersalls October 1 in 2004). He=s by Danehill, and he=s closely related to the top-class Grandera out of an Alysheba mare bred by the Wildensteins. As a two-year-old, he ran an RPR (Racing Post Rating, roughly the equivalent of Timeform) 121 when running off (by eight lengths) with the G1 Phoenix S., and followed that up with a win (not nearly so high a rating, though) in the G1 National $12,500 live foal (859) 233-4252 www.claibornefarm.com S., always Ireland=s best race for two-year-olds.
