Top 20 King George & Queen Elizabeth Stakes Winners 1955 - 2017 

Was Brig Gerard overrated???

Yup. He won on the bridal. He was the best by a country mile

Montjeu was extraordinary,however fantastic light was a much better horse the following year.

GENEROUS, st jovite -- who hosed up.... MONTJEU, harbinger.. all amazing winners

Chris Simmins: Definitely, it's the most fairest race, you rarely get very soft ground or horse who are past their best at that time of year, I just wish it was a little more international like the Arc is.

​@@nightowl7459 Agree with you both: Back in the day this race would attract Derby winners, French Derby winners, English and French Oaks and other very talented one and half milers. Nowadays relatively small fields and not as classy. Considering the prestige and the prize money, it’s odd that it seems less attractive to owners and trainers. FYR Brigadier Gerrard won the Two Thousands Guineas so did Nijinsky, Dancing Brave, and Nashwan.

@@rohansrider Under I think a few tend to sidestep the King George in favour of the international, and we rarely get that much of a International field although last year wasn't that bad with a German and Japanese runner in the field, I think a lot has been lost by France cutting the distance of their Derby and Oaks, and the Brigadier was great, the only other Guineas winner's to have won the King George are Nashwan and Nijinsky as I can remember, but I'm sure there could be one or two more over it's long history?

@@nightowl7459 Dancing Brave also. He who went on to win the Arc which Nijinsky and Nashwan failed to do I know it’s ancient history but the illustrious horse should have had the Derby on his CV. Terrible jockey error, quite possibly one of the worst in modern times. To win the Guineas in early May and then go on to capture the Arc in early October is a great training achievement . I rate the horse very highly and cannot watch that Epsom defeat without yelling at the TV. Nashwan never ran in the Arc, having run very badly over the course and distance in the Prix Neil in the Sept and Nijinsky who was well below par was beaten by Sassafras , but not badly and had he not had that bout of ringworm he would have won, I feel sure. Dancing Brave for me comes out on top. When we compare horses we do need to look at everything they won and who they beat. Fascinating subject.

@@rohansrider I'm not sure? I think Nijinsky was a little unlucky in the Arc, he had the race in the bag only to swerve and hand it to the other horse, people will say that Dancing Brave was definitely unlucky at Epsom, but take nothing away from the winner Sharistani who proved what a good horse he was in the Irish Derby before losing his form, I always believed El Gran Senor was even more unlucky not to have a Epsom Derby on his CV.

Definitely one of the best.

Some great horses, but Ribot was a monster and would have beaten them all, nothing would have got near him. Enable was probably the best of the others.

@@quidnunc2436 Montjeu would canter all over him.

Absolutely

Robert Henderson: It's got to be Troy for me.

Barbara Dyson: Possibly the effects of this race that contributed to his only defeat a few weeks later, and that's taking nothing away from Roberto who was brilliant that day he defeated the Brigadier.

Pentire should have beaten LAMMTARRA - Hills got there too early (on the bridle) and then did nothing in front (a bit like Harchibald in the champ hurdle) ... some horses can't get home and need to be placed really late, on the line.. Pentire was pure class and loved Ascot (which seemed to suit) .. perhaps , FRANKIE on Pentire and Hills on Lammtarra produces a diff result,, not to knock LAMMTARRA , who got the 1mile 4f so well... MONTJEU and NIJ are best tho

Bit young then for Brigadier Gerrard who won 16 of 17 or Mill Reef winner of The Derby, Arc (in course record) and King George in the same season?…Those two horses would probably start as favourites to beat your top five. The only question is who would’ve won between them over a mile and a half.

@@jamescarpenter6585 No I saw both Brigadier Gerard and Mill Reef. Both great horses, if I have any changes it would be the Brigadier over Grundy.

@@leecook8818The fact that you put Sheagar, Nashwan, Generous and Grundy over The great Mill Reef and the Brigadier tells me you know nothing about horse racing. I don’t think there is 10 ppl in the horse racing world that would put them over those two 😂😂😂😂😂

I know. It's a shame that Danedream seemingly never gets mentioned in such videos. But I guess german horses aren't worth the mention no matter how good they ran.

GO germany --- what about STAR APPEAL in the arc

Montjeu annihilates all.

@@electriceclectic5144 he didn't anialate sindar did he

Rheingold never won the King George and QE Stakes.

Leeanne Robertson: It would have been good to have seen what he was really capable of after the King George.

Beat by fantastic light who was giving him weight ,light got slaughtered by montjeu giving him lumps of weight. Montjeu would,be eaten Galileo alive.
