  Queen Bertha
Queen Bertha, however, was unimpressive in her works, and lost her first race back at three, discouraging her owner enough to suggest scratching her from all stakes engagements, including the Oaks.
Queen Bertha was also second to Lord Clifden in the St. Leger Stakes, and second in the Doncaster Cup to Macaroni, and second in the Ascot Derby.
Queen Bertha's sixth foal was SPINAWAY, a bay filly by Macaroni foaled in 1872.

 Royal Ascot meeting odds and betting
Queen Anne was the founder of the Ascot course, and she is remembered by the opening race of the four-day spectacular, the Queen Anne Stakes.
The area close to the village of East Cote was bought at a cost of just £558 and she ordered it to be prepared for racing and so the Royal racecourse played host to its first race on 11 August that year with 'Her Majesty's Plate for 100 guineas.
While the Queen Anne Stakes gets the meeting underway a race with another royal flavour, the St James' Palace Stakes, takes centre stage on opening day.

The outcome of the Queen Anne Stakes on the first day of the Royal Ascot meeting on June 20 depends largely on whether Proclamation will be ready to do himself justice on what will be his first outing for 290 days.
Don't forget, he was only three lengths behind Proclamation when the latter landed the Jersey Stakes at this meeting at York last season, an excellent effort considering that seven furlongs on that track is way to sharp for the selection.
He ran no sort on his final start of the campaign when dropped to six furlongs for the Haydock Sprint Cup, and the fact that he is reappearing on the back of the disappointing effort makes backing him all the more risky.
