The Queen Alexandra Stakes is a flathorse race in Great Britain open to thoroughbreds aged four years or older. It is run at Ascot over a distance of 2 miles, 5 furlongs and 159 yards (4,370 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in June.
History
The event is named after Queen Alexandra, the consort of King Edward VII. It was established in 1864, and it was originally called the Alexandra Plate. It later became known as the Alexandra Stakes, and it was given its current title in 1931. It was formerly contested over 2 miles, 6 furlongs and 34 yards, but it was shortened as a result of the realignment of Ascot's track in 2005.
The Queen Alexandra Stakes is traditionally the last race on the final day of the five-day Royal Ascot meeting. It sometimes features horses which ran on the opening day in the Ascot Stakes, and the most recent to win both in the same year was Simenon in 2012.
It is Britain's longest flat race, with a distance 37 yards longer than that of the Marathon Handicap at Pontefract. The extreme length can attract a varied field, and it often includes horses from hurdle racing.
Her family had been relatively obscure until her father, Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, was chosen with the consent of the great powers to succeed his distant cousin, Frederick VII, to the Danish throne. At the age of sixteen, she was chosen as the future wife of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the heir apparent of Queen Victoria. They married eighteen months later in 1863, the same year her father became king of Denmark as Christian IX and her brother was appointed to the vacant Greek throne as George I. She was Princess of Wales from 1863 to 1901, the longest anyone has ever held that title, and became generally popular; her style of dress and bearing were copied by fashion-conscious women. Largely excluded from wielding any political power, she unsuccessfully attempted to sway the opinion of British ministers and her husband's family to favour Greek and Danish interests. Her public duties were restricted to uncontroversial involvement in charitable work.
Queen Alexandra is a mixed residential and commercial neighbourhood in south west Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

The University of Alberta campus is located a short distance to the west of the neighbourhood. Access to the downtown core is north along both 109 Street and 104 Street.
Demographics
In the City of Edmonton's 2012 municipal census, Queen Alexandra had a population of 7003469400000000000♠4,694 living in 7003327500000000000♠3,275 dwellings, a 1.3% change from its 2009 population of 7003463200000000000♠4,632.

Alexandra of Denmark (Alexandra Caroline Marie Charlotte Louise Julia; 1 December 1844 – 20 November 1925) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Empress of India from 1901 to 1910 as the wife of King-Emperor Edward VII. Alexandra's family had been relatively obscure until 1852, when her father, Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, was chosen with the consent of the major European powers to succeed his second cousin Frederick VII as king of Denmark.
At the age of sixteen Alexandra was chosen as the future wife of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the heir apparent of Queen Victoria. The couple married eighteen months later in 1863, the year in which her father became king of Denmark as Christian IX and her brother was appointed king of Greece as George I. She was Princess of Wales from 1863 to 1901, the longest anyone has ever held that title, and became generally popular; her style of dress and bearing were copied by fashion-conscious women. Largely excluded from wielding any political power, she unsuccessfully attempted to sway the opinion of British ministers and her husband's family to favour Greek and Danish interests. Her public duties were restricted to uncontroversial involvement in charitable work. On the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, Albert Edward became king-emperor as Edward VII, with Alexandra as queen-empress. She held the status until Edward's death in 1910.

Queen Alexandra: A Princess for the People - British Royal Documentary
Queen Alexandra set the standard for stylish, modern royal women, and many present-day royal duties were inspired by her work. Here, experts paint a portrait of the little-celebrated consort, who was crowned alongside King Edward VII in 1902 after his mother’s death. Born in Denmark, Alexandra married into Queen Victoria’s gloomy household in 1863, and stood by a husband who was notorious for his love of drink, gambling and women.
Learn about the fascinating journey of Princess Alexandra of Denmark, from rags to royal riches, in this video. Discover the life and legacy of this iconic royal figure. Over time, the English royal family has had its fair share of beautiful queens. But this particular lady outshone most, and her looks were breathtaking. Alexandra was born to Prince Christian of Denmark, heir to the throne of his childless brother, King Frederick. Her mother was Louisa of Hesse, a descendant of George II. An agreement between British and Danish families would bring together a prince, princess, and Queen Victoria, who would oversee their wedding and future. The prince would eventually become King Edward VII and wear the crown of England. Join me now as we discover the life and times of this extraordinary woman. We'll now look back at the eventful life of Alexandra of Denmark.

Alexandra of Denmark (Alexandra Caroline Marie Charlotte Louise Julia; 1 December 1844 – 20 November 1925) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Empress of India from 1901 to 1910 as the wife of King-Emperor Edward VII. Alexandra's family had been relatively obscure until 1852, when her father, Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, was chosen with the consent of the major European powers to succeed his second cousin Frederick VII as king of Denmark.
At the age of sixteen Alexandra was chosen as the future wife of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the heir apparent of Queen Victoria. The couple married eighteen months later in 1863, the year in which her father became king of Denmark as Christian IX and her brother was appointed king of Greece as George I. She was Princess of Wales from 1863 to 1901, the longest anyone has ever held that title, and became generally popular; her style of dress and bearing were copied by fashion-conscious women. Largely excluded from wielding any political power, she unsuccessfully attempted to sway the opinion of British ministers and her husband's family to favour Greek and Danish interests. Her public duties were restricted to uncontroversial involvement in charitable work. On the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, Albert Edward became king-emperor as Edward VII, with Alexandra as queen-empress. She held the status until Edward's death in 1910.

The Queen Alexandra Stakes is a flathorse race in Great Britain open to thoroughbreds aged four years or older. It is run at Ascot over a distance of 2 miles, 5 furlongs and 159 yards (4,370 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in June.
History
The event is named after Queen Alexandra, the consort of King Edward VII. It was established in 1864, and it was originally called the Alexandra Plate. It later became known as the Alexandra Stakes, and it was given its current title in 1931. It was formerly contested over 2 miles, 6 furlongs and 34 yards, but it was shortened as a result of the realignment of Ascot's track in 2005.
The Queen Alexandra Stakes is traditionally the last race on the final day of the five-day Royal Ascot meeting. It sometimes features horses which ran on the opening day in the Ascot Stakes, and the most recent to win both in the same year was Simenon in 2012.
It is Britain's longest flat race, with a distance 37 yards longer than that of the Marathon Handicap at Pontefract. The extreme length can attract a varied field, and it often includes horses from hurdle racing.
"We had him in the Chester Cup and it came up good to firm and we also had him in training for the QueenAlexandraStakes at Royal Ascot and the ground came up firm again, so he's been in all year, we just didn't take a chance with him on the ground.
