One Victory Away From Racing History

Animal Kingdom is the favorite to win the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot on Tuesday. The horse won the Dubai World Cup in March. It is only the third time Animal Kingdom has raced on three different surfaces. He has won on dirt, turf and synthetic surfaces, but the straight course is his biggest challenge. The last Kentucky Derby winner to race at Ascott was Omaha in 1936. No American-trained horse has ever won Queen Ann's. Farrh defected to Australia. Bookmakers are offering odds of 4 to 5 or even-money on Animal kingdom as the ante-post wagering favorite.
