The Australian Derby is a Group 1 2400m set weights race for 3 year olds, held at Randwick during the Autumn carnival in Sydney. The Australian Derby is the highlight on a race card that also includes the Group One Sires Produce Stakes. Worth nearly $1 million in prizemoney to the winner, and potentially many more times that in breeding revenue, the Australian Derby is always a highly sought after race.
