The Queensland Oaks, first held in 1951 as a Principal race over 12 furlongs, saw Maltmaid the inaugural winner. In 1973, as Australia adopted the metric system, the race converted and became 2,400 metres. Seven years later it progressed from its Principal race status to Group 1, and has remained as such ever since.
