The Queensland Oaks was first run in 1951 and is the premier staying event for three-year-old fillies during the Brisbane winter carnival. It is a set weight race over the traditional Oaks distance of 2400m. The race typically attracts local fillies and any interested visitors from interstate and the field is generally not as strong as the AJC Oaks in Sydney or the Crown Oaks in Melbourne.
The Gr3 Doomben Roses (2020m) held two weeks earlier at Doomben is the most common Oaks lead up race and Heavenly Glow (2008), Cinque Cento (2005), The Jewel (2003) all won the Doomben Roses before going on to run a place in this race, while Ethereal (2001) was the last filly to win the Doomben Roses & Queensland Oaks double.
Purple (2009) ran third in the Doomben Roses prior to winning this race and recent winners of the Queensland Oaks include Riva San (2008), Eskimo Queen (2007) and Allow in 2006.
