Ladbrokes Queensland Derby Tips
Looking for horses that ran top three in a race like the Rough Habit Plate at Doomben and keeping an eye on the prices of runners with proven form over at least 2000m are good Queensland Derby tips.
Maison Louis (4th in 2025) was the last Queensland Derby winner to come off a lead-up run in the Rough Habit Plate.
From 2006 – 2025 six of the Queensland Derby winners won their lead-up race, so a good tip is looking for a last start winner, most recently Pinarello (2022) coming off a Group 2 win in New Zealand.
Brisbane lead-up races have provided the majority of the Queensland Derby champions in the past 30 years, so another tip is to watch for horses proven at either Doomben or Eagle Farm Racecourse.
The 2023 Queensland Derby winner Kovalica did so on the quick back-up having run third the Saturday prior behind the older horses in the Group 1 Doomben Cup (2000m).
2026 Ladbrokes Queensland Derby Tips
Our Ladbrokes’ insider Queensland Derby 2026 tips and betting selections on the youngsters to back and sack in the mile and a half classic will be detailed below the week of the race so check back to uncover the value in the Group 1 showdown this season.
The Queensland Derby is a Group 1 race for three-year-old stayers traditionally run at Eagle Farm Racecourse during the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival.
The event is currently conducted on a Saturday in late May or early June to run alongside the Group 1 Kingsford Smith Cup (1300m).
A set weights clash for three-year-old stayers, the Queensland Derby now serves as a key next-up option for youngsters out of Adelaide’s Group 1 South Australian Derby (2500m) and the Group 3 Rough Habit Plate (2000m).
The 2017 & 2018 editions of the Queensland Derby were moved from Eagle Farm to Doomben Racecourse and contested over 2200m instead of 2400m, while there was no 2020 edition of the race due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Colts and geldings carrying 57kg and fillies 55kg in the Queensland Derby field over 2400m. The race offers $1 million in total prize money as of 2022 including $600,000 for the winning connections.
Some of the three-year-old stayers out of the Queensland Derby field may opt to take on the older horses in the Group 3 Tattersall’s Cup (2400m) on Tiara Day with Vow And Declare (2nd in 2019) the last Derby graduate to win that event.

Ladbrokes Queensland Derby Betting
Queensland Derby betting opens at pre-field prices weeks ahead of the race date offering juicy futures odds on the likely runners in the race.
Three-year-olds that run well in the traditional lead-up races typically dominate the Queensland Derby odds, and more often than not the Grand Prix Stakes winner of the season (now held the December before during the summer) will start favourite in the Group 1 over the mile and a half.
Favourites have a fair record in the Queensland Derby with seven saluting for the punters from 2011 – 2025 including Ruthven (2017), Dark Dream (2018), Mr Quickie (2019), and most recently Kovalica ($1.70 in 2023).
There was a notable upset in 2024 with Warmonger ($10) winning at double figures by 10 lengths, while another upset Queensland Derby champ emerged in 2025 with Maison Louis saluting at a $21 starting price.
Ladbrokes Queensland Derby Field
The Queensland Derby race field attracts a collection of the season’s most promising staying types. The majority of acceptors are colts and geldings, but previously fillies backed up out of the Queensland Oaks the weekend prior to take on the boys before the Derby was rescheduled in 2021 to run before the Oaks.
The last filly to win the Queensland Derby was Dariana (2010), while in 2017 the only filly in the field Ana Royale ran a brave third. The fillies came close again in 2018 when that year’s Queensland Oaks winner Youngstar ran a luckless third, while the 2019 Queensland Derby trifecta was also rounded-out by a filly – Aliferous.
The largest Queensland Derby field had a previous capacity of 20 runners, the last of this size field lining up in 2008 when Riva San won. Now a maximum of 18 starters can take to the track. The smallest Queensland Derby field in recent history saw only eight runners take to the barriers in 1990 when Rough Habit won.
A nice early lead-up race into the Queensland Derby field is Sydney’s Group 3 Frank Packer Plate (2000m) held at Randwick in mid-April and Shootoff (2011) was the last to do the double.
Queensland Derby nominations close in early May, four – five weeks before the final field of acceptances is taken and released the Tuesday prior to the race running on the Saturday.

Ladbrokes Queensland Derby Form Guide
The Queensland Derby form guide provides punters with all of the must know information like the jockeys, trainers, barriers and lead-up runs of the horses in the field.
From 2011 – 2024 seven of the Queensland Derby winners jumped from a double-digit barrier, the distance of the race proving a wide gate is a non-issue results wise, including Pinarello (17 of 18) in 2022 and Warmonger (18 of 18) in 2024.
Interstate-trained three-year-olds also have a dominant recent record in the race, so watch the Queensland Derby form guide for Sydney and Melbourne visitors with form in Brisbane that season.
In 2022 New Zealand raider Pinarello beat home the locals.
2026 Ladbrokes Queensland Derby Form Facts
- Wide barriers 10 or above produced seven Queensland Derby winners from 2011 – 2025.
- Dariana (2010) was the last filly to beat home the boys in the Queensland Derby results.
- From 2011 – 2025 seven Queensland Derby betting favourites saluted for the punters including three on the trot from 2017-19.
- The Grand Prix Stakes was previously the key Queensland Derby form race to follow and last produced a winner of the Group 1 with Eagle Way (2nd in 2016) before a change to the race schedule in 2021.
2026 Ladbrokes Queensland Derby Form Guide
A link to our comprehensive Queensland Derby 2026 Form Guide will be provided for punters below the week of the race.
Past Queensland Derby Results

Notable recent Queensland Derby winners include Mr Quickie (2019), Hawkspur (2013), Brambles (2012), and Shootoff (2011).
