Run on the second Saturday of April the 2400m race is open to three-year-old fillies and is held at the same meeting as the autumn’s richest race, the Group 1 $5 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m).
The other Group 1 races on the card that day are the Sydney Cup and Queen Of The Turf Stakes – also known as The Coolmore Legacy Stakes. The Australian Oaks, or ATC Oaks, is a set weights event with all the fillies in the field carrying 56kg. Offering $1 million in total prize money the Australian Oaks winner takes out $600,000 for connections.
Winners of the Adrian Knox Stakes and Vinery Stud Stakes are exempt from Australian Oaks ballot and these two races are the key lead-ups to the Group 1 over the mile and a half.
Colette (2020) was the last filly to complete the Adrian Knox Stakes – ATC Australian Oaks double joining the likes of Royal Descent (2013), Serenade Rose (2006), Rena’s Lady (2007), and Heavenly Glow (2008) who also took out both races in recent years.
Treasurethe Moment (2025) was the last filly to do the Vinery Stud Stakes / Australian Oaks double.

Australian Oaks Betting
One of the popular fillies’ betting doubles of the autumn is the Adrian Knox Stakes – Australian Oaks double with the former the key lead-up race influencing markets for the Group 1 a week later, most recently achieved by Colette (2020).
Autumn Angel (2nd in 2024) was the last Adrian Knox graduate to back-up and win the Australian Oaks.
Australian Oaks betting favours fillies coming out of the Adrian Knox as well as the Vinery Stud Stakes held over 2000m at Sydney’s other premier track – Rosehill – two weeks earlier.
From 2006 – 2025 eight Australian Oaks favourites saluted for the punters including four on the trot with Bonneval ($4.20 in 2017), Unforgotten ($4 in 2018), Verry Elleegant ($2 in 2019), and Colette ($3 in 2020).
There was a notable upset in 2022 however with El Patroness winning at Australian Oaks odds of $26.
Pennyweka ($4.80EF in 2023) and Treasurethe Moment ($1.55 in 2025) are the latest favourites or equal favourites in Australian Oaks betting to win.
Looking for fillies coming off good form with a good barrier in the Australian Oaks odds is also important as just four winners since 2002 jumped from a double digit gate when Daffodil overcame barrier 11 of 18 to win in 2009, Sofia Rosa got the job done from 11 of 14 in 2016, $2 fancy Verry Elleegant won from 11 of 14 in 2019, and the visiting NZ Oaks winner Pennyweka saluted from gate 11 of 15 in 2023.

The largest Australian Oaks field in the past 30 years was 18 starters in 2009 when Daffodil scored an upset win as a 12/1 chance in betting.
The race run with just eight starters in both 2007 and 2012 when Rena’s Lady and Streama won respectively.
Featuring the season’s best staying three-year-old fillies the Australian Oaks field is primarily made-up of horses coming out of the Group 3 Adrian Knox Stakes (2000m) run the previous Saturday on Doncaster Mile Day.
The Adrian Knox Stakes has produced 10 Australian Oaks winners in the past 20 years.
Australian Oaks nominations close on a Monday in early February before first acceptances are taken a month later.
The official Australian Oaks field of final acceptors and barrier draw is then out on the Tuesday before the race, while connections have until the same day to pay the $22,000 late entry fee.

2025 Australian Oaks First Acceptances
The Australian Oaks first acceptances are taken about a month out from the race following on from the early nominations in February.
The 2025 Australian Oaks first acceptances close at midday on Tuesday, March 11, 2025.
Australian Oaks Tips
Australian Oaks tips favour young fillies with proven form over at least 2000m showing the potential to run out a strong mile and a half.
Tipping Australian Oaks runners on the short back-up out of the Adrian Knox Stakes is always popular and the Adrian Knox – ATC Oaks is common betting double.
Another key lead-up race to consider when doing the Australian Oaks tips is the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill Gardens on Golden Slipper Day a fortnight before.
Seven Australian Oaks winners from 2010 – 2025 had their final lead-up in the Vinery Stud Stakes including Rising Romance (4th) in 2014, Unforgotten (2nd) in 2018 who defeated that year’s winner Hiyaam in a reverse of the quinella, Verry Elleegant who did the double in 2019, Hungry Heart (2021) who also won both races for trainer Chris Waller, and the latest to do the double Treasurethe Moment (2025).
2025 Australian Oaks Tips
Our insider Ladbrokes’ Australian Oaks 2025 betting tips will be detailed below the week of the race, so you know what fillies to back and sack in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes Day Group 1 this autumn.
- Each Way: #1 Leica Lucy ($4.20 at time of publish) – BET NOW
The way Treasurethe Moment demolished them in the Vinery last time out has her the deserving favourite in the ATC Oaks chasing her eighth win on the trot, but for value happy to take Chris Waller’s Kiwi visitor Lecia Lucy each way for a potential upset. She too is out to extend her picket fence having won her past five ahead of this test down under. The classy daughter of Derryn is proven at the 2400m distance coming off a narrow but convincing win in the Group 1 NZ Oaks. Pennyweka did the NZ – ATC Oaks double back in 2023 and there’s plenty to suggest this filly might just do the same. She has barrier one and benefits greatly from the booking of star hoop James McDonald. Watch for her late!
Australian Oaks Form Guide
The Australian Oaks form guide provides punters with all the key information including saddlecloth numbers, jockeys, trainers, lead-up races and barriers.
The last Australian Oaks winners to run worse than fifth in her final lead-up run were Sunday Joy who improved on a 12th against the boys in the Australian Derby to win the fillies’ equivalent in 2003 and the Danny O’Brien-trained Victorian El Patroness in 2022 who finished eighth in Moonee Valley’s Group 2 Alister Clark Stakes (2040m).
Since 1992 just six Australian Oaks winning fillies came off a run outside of Sydney with New Zealand raider Daffodil (2009), that year’s Schweppes Oaks runner-up in Adelaide Absolutely (2011), another Kiwi Sofia Rosa (2016) who ran second in the NZ Oaks back home, Bonneval (2017) who did the NZ Oaks – ATC Oaks double, the aforementioned El Patroness (2022), and the latest Kiwi to do the NZ Oaks – Australian Oaks double Pennyweka (2023).
Gai Waterhouse has trained three Australian Oaks winners since 2000 including Once Were Wild (2010).
The most successful Australian Oaks barrier draw producing seven winners since 1983 is gate five followed by the inside alley with five winners out of barrier one in that time despite the distance of the race.
The Australian Oaks 2022 form was franked with the second placed filly Gypsy Goddess continuing on to take out Brisbane’s Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2200m). She also returned in the spring to place third in the $10 million The Golden Eagle (1500m) back in Sydney.
The ATC Oaks 2024 form was franked with the runner-up Zardozi returning for a big spring that included a fourth in that year’s Melbourne Cup results.
Australian Oaks Form Facts
- Favourites in Australian Oaks betting have won six times in recent years with Bonneval (2017), Unforgotten (2018), Verry Elleegant (2019), Colette (2020), Pennyweka (2023), and Treasurethe Moment (2025).
- Roughies in Australian Oaks odds also have had a number of recent wins including El Patroness ($26 in 2022), Gust Of Wind ($17 in 2015), Absolutely ($31 in 2011), and Rena’s Lady ($21 in 2007).
- The Adrian Knox Stakes is the key Australian Oaks form line to follow into the Group 1 race.
- Fillies that ran outside the top four in their lead-up run are ones to avoid when doing the Australian Oaks form.
- Sunday Joy (12th in 2003) was the last Australian Oaks winning filly to come off a Australian Derby run against the boys.
- The Australian Derby – Oaks double was last achieved by Research (1989).
