2025 Victoria Derby Results
Favourite backers were rewarded in the 2025 Victoria Derby results when the Ciaron Maher-trained Observer ($2.45F) produced a dominant front-running display at Flemington, giving jockey Mark Zahra his fourth winner of the day and a second consecutive Group 1 success. The talented son of Ghaiyyath controlled the race from the outset and never surrendered the lead, defeating 60/1 roughie Arcora by three-quarters of a length, while Deal Done Fast and One Step Closer rounded out the Victoria Derby 2026 first four. In the process, Observer became the first three-year-old since Efficient in 2006 to complete the coveted Moonee Valley Vase–Victoria Derby double, further cementing his place in the race’s history.
