Australasian Oaks (GR1) (Schweppes Oaks)
2024 total prize money: $1,000,000
1st $547,250, 2nd $177,000, 3rd $88,250
The Australasian Oaks is a 2000m set-weight race for three-year-old fillies that is run in the autumn at Morphettville racecourse in South Australia. First run on February 10, 1982, the inaugural running was won by the David Haines owned and Bob Hoysted trained filly, Rose of Kingston.
The Oaks has remained at 2000m though track conditions have seen the distance increase on occasions by between 5m and 25m due to the movement of the running rail.
Training honours for the Australasian Oaks are shared between Bart Cummings and Lee Freedman who have both trained the winner on four occasions.
