Addeybb and Verry Elleegant continue their stirring rivalry in Friday night's Queen Elizabeth Stakes
Day Two of “The Championships” at Randwick promises to deliver some unforgettable racing theater, as one of the sport's greatest international rivalries reaches its climax in the $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1). Sky Racing World's racing expert Jason Witham will be trackside at Randwick for live crosses to the TVG broadcast (First Post: 9:30pm ET / 6:30pm PT).
English stayer Addeybb first visited Australia in March of 2020, engaging top Australian mare Verry Elleegant in an exhilarating edition of the Ranvet Stakes. Addeybb fought back to win after being headed, then more easily had Verry Elleegant's measure in the Queen Elizabeth. Combat was renewed in this year's Ranvet (watch replay), when a similar stirring, stretch-long duel ensued. Verry Elleegant turned the tables and now looks to even the score in Friday night's eagerly anticipated Queen Elizabeth Stakes at 1 1/4 miles.
