West Australian Derby
The first running of the West Australian Derby occurred on Monday 2nd January 1888 and was won in easy fashion by Mr A P Turnbull’s bay filly, Harridan. The South Australian bred Harridan started the even money favourite in a field of four and was trained and ridden by Jack Ford.
The West Australian Derby is traditionally run in the last week of December or the first week of January though the timing was changed in 1987 when it became an autumn event. Due to this scheduling change, no Derby was run in 1987.
The Derby was changed back to the summer in 1993 and because of this rescheduling, two Derbies were run that year, one in May and one in December. This was not the first time that two West Australian Derbies were run in the same calendar year, the Derby was also run twice in 1899, the first in January and the second in December.
The change back to the summer in 1993 didn’t last long with the schedule being changed to the autumn again in 2002. No Derby was run in 2001.
There have been some notable achievements in the trainers, jockeys, and owners ranks throughout the history of the West Australian Derby.
In the early to mid-twentieth century, J J Kelly saddled-up six WA Derby winners:
1919 Eurythmic – 1926 Maple – 1928 Second Wind – 1935 Yaringa
1938 Gay Prince – 1947 Westralian.
In more recent times Grant Williams has an imposing record both on his own and with his wife, Alana.
As private trainer for the powerful Peters stable, Williams has trained five Derby winners himself and a further four with wife, Alana.
Grant Williams: 2011 Dreamaway – 2013 Mystic Prince – 2014 Respondent
2015 Delicacy – 2016 Arcadia Dream.
Grant & Alana Williams: 2018 Action – 2019 Regal Power
2020 Tuscan Queen – 2021 Western Empire.
Frank “Tiger” Moore rode the winner of the West Australian Derby seven times during the 1950s & 60s:
1953 Just Peter – 1957 Nhargo – 1959 Little Empire
1962 Nicopolis – 1965 Baccare – 1968 Hidalios – 1969 Surrender.
In recent times William Pike has reigned supreme having ridden the Derby winner on eleven occasions.
Being the regular rider for the Peters/Williams stable has contributed to eight of Pike’s eleven Derby winners:
2006 Cats Fun – 2008 Grand Journey – 2011 Dreamaway
2014 Respondent – 2015 Delicacy – 2016 Arcadia Dream
2018 Action – 2019 Regal Power – 2020 Tuscan Queen
2021 Western Empire – 2023 Awesome John.
Prolific owners, Bob and Susan Peters have seen their cerise and white colours salute the judge on ten occasions:
2000 Old Money – 2011 Dreamaway – 2013 Mystic Prince
2014 Respondent – 2015 Delicacy – 2016 Arcadia Dream
2018 Action – 2019 Regal Power – 2020 Tuscan Queen
