The Queensland Oaks offers a total of $600,000 in prize money. The Group 2 The Roses (2000m) held a fortnight earlier at Doomben Racecourse offers a ballot exemption into the Queensland Oaks field and is the key lead-up to the Group 1 – Scarlett Lady (2011) the last filly to do the double before Youngstar (2018).

Queensland Oaks Betting
Futures Queensland Oaks betting opens weeks in advance of the race offering pre-field prices on the likely fillies heading towards the classic. The Queensland Oaks odds on the final field firm once the last round of acceptances is released, and many punters prefer to wait until this time to place their bets.
Fillies coming off a dominant run in The Roses at Doomben often lead the Queensland Oaks markets and the last to complete the double was Youngstar (2018). In 2014 Tinto ran second in The Roses before winning the Queensland Oaks, while Arabian Gold won that year’s The Roses before her Oaks second next-up.
Favourites have a strong recent record in the Queensland Oaks with seven from 2006 – 2021 saluting for the punters as the top fancy in betting including Egg Tart ($3.10 in 2017) and Youngstar ($3.70 in 2018) – both trained by Chris Waller, and the Ed Cummings-trained Duais ($2.80 in 2021).
The last double-figure Queensland Oaks winner to score a notable upset was Miss Keepsake ($31 in 2010). There was a surprise winner at big Queensland Oaks odds in 2019 with Winning Ways (20/1).
