From the race’s inauguration in 1885, all the way up to 2025, we have a comprehensive list of Australian Oaks winners from past race meets. Included are finishing times, as well as jockey and weights carried to victory by the fillies that have won the Australian Oaks in Sydney.

Uralla was the inaugural Australian Oaks winner back in 1885.

The 1944 Australian Oaks winner Flight would go on to become a dual Cox Plate winning mare in 1945 and 1946.

In 1956 Evening Peal won the Australian Oaks – Melbourne Cup double as did Light Fingers in 1965.

Research in 1989 became the only filly to complete the Australian Derby – Australian Oaks double when the events were conducted by the Australian Jockey Club (AJC).

Other notable Australian Oaks winners include Wenona Girl (1961), Leilani (1974), the previous year’s Cox Plate winning filly Surround (1977), Once Were Wild (2010),  Royal Descent (2013), and superstar Verry Elleegant best known for her 2021 Melbourne Cup victory. 

The 2022 Australian Oaks winner El Patroness came off an unplaced Melbourne lead-up and scored a dominant upset on a Heavy (10) track as a $26 chance in betting for trainer Danny O’Brien.

The Australian Oaks 2023 winner was Kiwi raider Pennyweka ($4.80EF) who saluted for the punters by nearly two lengths on the back of her NZ Oaks success across the Tasman and was ridden to victory by last year’s winning hoop Damian Lane.

The 2024 Australian Oaks winner was the Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman-trained Autumn Angel ($6) on the quick back-up off her second in the Adrian Knox the Saturday prior.

The 2025 Australian Oaks winner is TBC and will be known when the exciting Group 1 autumn feature for 3YO fillies runs at Randwick on Day 2 of The Championships, Saturday the 12th of April 2025.
