Queensland Oaks Tips

Stay tuned for our insider Queensland Oaks 2026 Tips on the three-year-old’s feature this winter.

Queensland Oaks News

The Queensland Oaks is a set weights race now held at Eagle Farm Racecourse for three-year-old fillies in early June each year. Raced during the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival over a distance of 2200m, the Group 1 classic is worth $700,000 in prize money and is now the marquee race on Queensland Oaks Day.

From 2017 – 2019 the Queensland Oaks Day meeting ran at Doomben Racecourse over 2200m, moving from its previous track (Eagle Farm) and distance (2400m). There was no Queensland Oaks held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then in 2021 the race returned to Eagle Farm but retained the shorter 2200m distance.

The Group 2 The Roses (2000m) is held two weeks earlier and is regarded as the best lead-up race to the Queensland Oaks. The latest fillies to win The Roses / Queensland Oaks double are Youngstar (2018), Scarlett Lady (2011) and Melbourne Cup winner Ethereal in 2001. Although the race is greatly admired in Queensland, its field is not as strong as the ATC Oaks in Sydney or the VRC Oaks in Melbourne attracting mainly locally trained hopefuls.

Trainer Chris Waller boasts a great recent record in the Queensland Oaks preparing three winners: Winx (2015), Egg Tart (2017), and Youngstar (2018).

The form of the 2021 Queensland Oaks was franked with the winner Duais going on to complete the 2022 Group 1 Australian Cup – Tancred Stakes interstate double the following autumn.

In 2022 the Queensland Oaks winner Gypsy Goddess returned in the spring and ran third in the $10 million The Golden Eagle race in Sydney.

The 2024 Queensland Oaks form was franked with the triple-figure winner Socks Nation going on to run third in that year’s Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) in Melbourne over the Cup Carnival as well as Ascot’s Group 1 Northerly Stakes (1800m) in Perth that summer.

Queensland Oaks History

First won by Maltmaid in 1951, the Queensland Oaks was a principal race until 1980 when it was automatically elevated to Group 1 status, the year Lowan Star won.

Since 1988 the fastest winning race time for the Queensland Oaks was recorded by Arctic Scent in 1996 with 2 minutes 27 seconds. The slowest winning time was 2 minutes 45.4 seconds by Triumphal Queen in 1989.

The 2020 Queensland Oaks was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Notable Queensland Oaks winners over the years include Evening Pearl (1955), Surround (1977), Ethereal (2011) who went on to win that year’s Caulfield Cup – Melbourne Cup double, Winx (2015) and Duais (2021).
