QUEENSLAND OAKS DAY BECOMES SUPER SATURDAY WITH TRIPLE GROUP 1 THRILLERS

This Saturday, Queensland racing will take centre stage on the global calendar with a blockbuster day rebranded as Super Saturday, as two additional Group 1 features are added to an already electrifying race card.

Following last weekend’s mid-meeting postponement, the Group 1 Queensland Derby and the Group 1 Kingsford Smith Cup will now join the Group 1 Queensland Oaks creating a trio of elite-level contests, edge-of-your-seat action from start to finish. No other race meeting in the world this week can match what’s set to unfold at Eagle Farm.

Rewind to last year, when Socks Nation stunned punters and pundits alike, claiming the Queensland Oaks at eye-watering triple-figure odds with local favourite Ryan Maloney aboard. It was an unforgettable boilover that etched its place in racing folklore. The Kingsford Smith Cup was no less dramatic. Fans held their breath as sprinting stars I Wish I Win and Bella Nipotina went stride-for-stride down the straight in a titanic clash. It was I Wish I Win who edged clear in the final bounds, delivering a finish for the ages. But the headline act? That belonged to Warmonger.

In the Queensland Derby, the colt delivered one of the most breathtaking performances Australian Group 1 racing has ever seen, obliterating the field to win by nearly 11 lengths in a demolition that left jaws on the floor.

With history-making moments fresh in the memory, and three Group 1 races on the bill, this Saturday promises something special.

Queensland Oaks Day has become Super Saturday. Don’t miss a second.
