About The Oaks
The Oaks is a Group 1 Flat race run at Epsom Downs and is the showpiece event for three-year-old fillies.
First run in 1779, The Oaks is regarded as one of the most prestigious races in the world and is the second leg of the Fillies' Triple Crown. A filly can achieve the Triple Crown by winning the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, The Oaks at Epsom, and then finally land victory in the St Leger at Doncaster, although very few attempts to tackle it. Over the years there have been some superstar winners of The Oaks with Musidora (1949), Salsabil (1990), and Enable (2017) just three of those phenomenal fillies to taste victory.
What happened in The Oaks in 2025?
In a 1-2 for Aidan O'Brien, MINNIE HAUK just outlasted her stablemate Whirl to claim the Classic for Ryan Moore. Many pondered if the jockeys were swapped around in the race, the winner may have been the eventual second.
