The SA Fillies Classic is a Group 3 South Australian thoroughbred event held on The Goodwood Day in May at Morphettville Racecourse during the popular Adelaide Autumn Racing Carnival.

The set weights race is open only to three-year-old fillies and currently offers $170,000 in prize money.

A genuine stamina test, the event takes place over the same track and trip as the Group 1 South Australian Derby (2500m) that is held the week before.

The South Australian Fillies Classic was inaugurated in 1951 as the South Australian Oaks (1951-2008).

It was renamed ahead of the 2009 edition and has undergone a host of distance, scheduling, and Group status changes.

From 1980–2004 it held Group 1 status but has been a Group 3 event since 2007.

Which Horse Will Win the SA Fillies Classic in 2024

The best way to pick which horse will win the SA Fillies Classic in 2024 is to take into account their lead-up autumn racing form, assess the barriers, look for the proven Group performers and star distance runners. 

Additional factors to consider when picking the SA Fillies Classic winner include: 

  • Australasian Oaks Lead-Up: Any fillies down in grade off a Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) lead-up at the same track earlier in the autumn are worth following into the SA Fillies Classic, although the double hasn’t been completed since Irish Darling (2005).
  • Single-Digit Gate: Only two SA Fillies Classic winners since 2001 jumping from wider than barrier nine most recently Mimi’s Award (13 in 2021).

SA Fillies Classic Favourites 2024

Early favourites in 2024 SA Fillies Classic betting include NZ Oaks runner-up Positivity, the rails-drawn The Autumn Belle to be ridden by Craig Williams, and Patrick Payne’s consistent daughter of Mongolian Khan Zambezi Khan

Realm Of Flowers ($2.60 in 2020), Let’sbefrankbaby ($3.10 in 2023) and Positivity ($2.30 in 2024) are the latest SA Fillies Classic favourites to win.
