South Australian
Derby
The first South Australian Derby was held on January 6 1860 over a distance of one and a half miles at the recently opened Thebarton racecourse. Run on the first day of the Club’s first annual race meeting, the Thebarton Derby was won by Mr C. B. Fisher’s filly Midnight, she was trained by William Filgate and ridden by Bill Simpson.
The Derby Stakes at Thebarton racecourse continued until 1868 when the track was closed due financial difficulties relating to competition from other race clubs and small fields of runners, which is evident in the size of the Derby fields.
The Derby was resurrected by the SAJC in 1876 when the race was added to its spring racing program at their newly opened Morphettville racetrack. The Derby has been a feature of the Club’s annual racing program ever since, though it was rescheduled from the spring to the autumn in 1984.
Five horses have completed the VRC/SAJC Derby double
1903 F.J.A
1972 Dayana
1977 Stormy Rex
1981 Brewery Boy
2008 Rebel Raider
The most successful trainer of winners of the South Australian Derby is, of course, Bart Cummings who has trained the winner on 10 occasions:
1958 Stormy Passage – 1964 Ziema – 1966 Peculator – 1969 Paradigm
1972 Dayana – 1975 Prince Of All – 1976 Vacuum – 1977 Stormy Rex
1987 Shark’s Fin – 1991 Shiva’s Revenge
Riding honours rest with “Mick” Medhurst who saluted on 5 occasions:
1937 Golden Hill – 1938 Tempest – 1940 Waxwings – 1941 Lamond
1951 Beau Cavalier
Just four winners of the South Australian Derby have gone on to win a Melbourne Cup.
The 1880 Derby winner, Rothschild went on to win the 1882 Melbourne Cup, though he’d had his name changed to the Assyrian when he won the Cup.
The 1895 winner, Auraria took the Melbourne Cup just a few weeks after winning the Derby.
1961 winner Gatum Gatum went on to win the 1965 Melbourne Cup, while 1992 winner Subzero won the 1992 Melbourne Cup in the spring
