The Crown Oaks is the highlight of the third Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival day, so its results are anticipated by a vast number of punters and bookmakers alike. However, it is not only the punters that are concerned with the Crown Oaks results, as it is a well-loved race in Australia.
The Crown Oaks restricts entry to three-year-old fillies only, making it an excellent opportunity to scout talent for the mare events in the next season. Fillies who achieve great Crown Oaks results have a good chance of going on to compete successfully in other major races in the future. If you are planning to bet on four-year-old mares in the following season, the Crown Oaks results can be a great guide to an individual runner’s abilities.
Past Crown Oaks Results
Past Crown Oaks results might not be of any help in your Crown Oaks betting – as the Crown Oaks are a once in a lifetime race for three-year-old fillies only – but it can still give you great hints when betting on other races like we already mentioned above.
You can use the Crown Oaks results when calculating your selection’s chances in other events, by comparing the race distance and the track conditions. Most horses have a favourite distance and many prefer certain track conditions to others, so horses doing well in the Crown Oaks might also do well in races with similar characteristics.
Crown Oaks Winners
Winners of the Crown Oaks often go on to celebrate many more race victories. 2008 Crown Oaks winner Samantha Miss went on the win the Magic Night Stakes, the Sweet Embrace Stakes and the Wattle Grove Handicap after winning the Crown Oaks; 2006 winner Miss Finland won the title of ‘Sportsman 2006 Horse Of the Year’. So, as you can see, it is always a good idea to keep an eye on the Crown Oaks winners as they progress in their career.
Betting on a Crown Oaks winner in a later race might give you a good chance of winning or placing; so doing a little research can never hurt. Although a previous win is no guarantee for a good performance, it is always good to know your selection has a reputation as a strong contender.
