Oaks Day odds 2026
Flemington, Thursday 5 November — live Group 1 prices for the VRC Oaks and the carnival fillies classic card.
About Oaks Day
Oaks Day is the fillies classic of the Melbourne Cup Carnival: the Group 1 VRC Oaks over 2,500 m at set weights is the staying test that decides the three-year-old filly of the spring. It is the quietest of the four Flemington days on the rail and the one the classics are bred for, so the market on the Oaks is where the carnival form lines get settled.

Oaks Day FAQ
When is Oaks Day 2026?
Oaks Day 2026 is Thursday 5 November at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne — day three of the four-day Melbourne Cup Carnival, two days after the Cup and two days before Stakes Day.
What is the main race on Oaks Day?
The Group 1 VRC Oaks over 2,500 m at set weights for three-year-old fillies. It is the fillies classic of the spring and the race that settles the three-year-old staying form lines from the Wakeful Stakes and the Derby Day card.
How long is the VRC Oaks?
2,500 m — the same staying trip as the Victoria Derby on Derby Day, and 700 m short of the Melbourne Cup. At set weights for three-year-old fillies, the trip is the test: a miler can win the Thousand Guineas, but 2,500 m at Flemington in November is a different race.
Which races on the Oaks Day card carry live odds here?
Every Flemington race we hold a market for is priced on this page, with the feature market shown in full at the top. The VRC Oaks is the race with a Group 1 market open weeks out; the support races fill in as the meeting gets closer.
How do I find the best VRC Oaks price?
This page shows the shortest price per runner from the markets we capture. For the full board — every Australian bookmaker we cover side by side, so you can take the top price rather than the first one you see — open the racing odds comparison and pick the Flemington meeting.
Does this page update on Oaks Day?
Yes. The page rebuilds every 15 minutes, so the prices, the number of runners holding a market and the last-captured time all move with the bookmakers through the day. Anything you read here is a captured price, not a pre-post figure typed in once.
