Queensland Oaks (GR1)
2024 total prize money: $700,000
1st $420,000, 2nd $126,000, 3rd $63,000
The Queensland Oaks is run at Brisbane’s Eagle Farm racecourse over a distance of 1 ½ miles.
The first
running of the Queensland Oaks
occurred on Boxing Day 1951 and was won by Mrs J. F. Meynink’s bay filly, Maltmaid.
The following year the
Oaks was moved from Boxing Day to late November, being run on the same card as
the Queensland Cup.
A further change was made
in 1957 when the Oaks was moved from late spring to be part of the Brisbane
winter racing carnival. Due to this rescheduling, no Oaks was run in 1957.
Many great fillies have
won the Queensland Oaks, fillies like Mode, Analie, Denise’s Joy, Surround, November Rain, Triscay, Royal Magic,
Ethereal and Winx have all taken out the Queensland Classic.
Four fillies have
completed the Queensland Derby/Oaks double.
1973 – Analie
1988 – Bravery
1992 – Royal Magic
2008 – Riva San
Only two fillies have
completed the Oaks Triple Crown (VRC Oaks – AJC Oaks & QTC Oaks)
Surround in
1977/78 and November Rain in 1980/81
