The Colours Of Horseracing


                                                                Index


The Colours Of Horseracing is a detailed summary of  Australian Group 1 races that are run throughout the nation each year.
All 75 Australian Group 1 races are reviewed. Queensland (8) New South Wales (30) Victoria (30)  South Australia (4) and Western Australia (3) are covered. Also summarised are some of the major non Group 1 races that are run each year - Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and  Hobart Cups as well as the West Australian Derby and Tasmanian Derby.
This Blog will always remain a 'work in progress' as all races are constantly being updated after they've been run.

The blog also summarises the Kentucky Derby as well as having a page dedicated to the mighty champions, Phar Lap & Bernborough, with a complete summary of their racing careers.

Eight years and many thousands of hours of research have gone into making this blog as accurate and as interesting as possible.
Each race that I summarise, traces its history from the very first running, right up to the current year.

The summary for each race consists of:
The year
Winners’ name
Winning owners’ names
Winning owners’ racing colours + coloured facsimile
Winners’ colour, sex, age and breeding
Trainers’ name
Riders’ name and weight carried
Number of race starters
Barrier position
Starting price
Second and third placegetters & weight carried
Margins and time


This Index page is a quick way of locating and accessing the races that I’ve summarised.

S A Fillies Classic

 

      S A Fillies Classic (GR3) 
                                          (South Australian Oaks)
                                     2024 total prize money: $170,000 
                                 1st $93,000, 2nd $30,250 3rd $15,000

                                                 

The first South Australian Oaks was run over 10 furlongs on Saturday, October 13, 1951 and was won by Mr H W Bowyer’s bay filly, Gay Comedy.
Gay Comedy was trained by her owner and ridden by Ossie Phillips.

Only one winner of the South Australian Oaks has gone on to win the VRC Oaks and that filly was Goliette in 1969.

When the international pattern system was implemented in Australia in 1980, the South Australian Oaks was graded as a Group 1 race. In 2005 the Oaks was downgraded to Group 2 and in 2007 it was downgraded again to its current Group 3 status.
In 2009 the name was changed to S A Fillies Classic.

The most successful trainer of winners of the South Australian Oaks is Colin Hayes, who saddled up the winner on 8 occasions, including 5 consecutive winners between 1973 and 1977.
Colin Hayes’s winners: 
1959 Rose Of Summer – 1971 Persian Bronze – 1973 Ready Or Not
1974 Fondness  1975 Ace Queen – 1976 In Pursuit 
1977 Deesse – 1983 Casey Belle

Riding honours rest with Bill Pyers who rode the winner on 7 occasions, including 5 consecutive winners between 1955 and 1959.
Bill Pyers’s winners:
1952 Sadiya – 1953 Never Rest – 1955 Wine Lover – 1956 Sleep Tight
1957 Gentle Touch –1958 Demeter – 1959 Rose Of Summer
