Australian Oaks

The Australian Oaks is run under set weight conditions and is only open to three year old fillies, making it one of the richest races of its type in the world.

Being such a unique event, the best fillies from around the country and even some overseas visitors have graced the Randwick turf in search of Oaks glory.

Some of more well-known winners of the race include Royal Descent (2012), Triscay (1991) and Republic Lass (2002).

The Australian Oaks has been a Kiwis’ race in recent times. Aside from Unforgotten’s 2018 win, New Zealanders had won four-straight Oaks titles. If a key elect is coming across the Tasman for the race, more often than not they will be highly competitive.

  The Kiwis were back at it again when Bonneval won the Oaks for trainers Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman.

Kathy O’Hara fell from Single Gaze after the horse clipped the horse in front. It then looked like O’Hara was under the horse. It would be several months until she returned to the saddle. It was a huge win for Bowman who rode four winners during The Championships, with Sofia Rose, a $4.80 shot, one of the highlights. Ambience ($41) and Believe ($61) defied their long odds.
