See all of the recent Epsom Oaks winners and who won the race last year as we gear up for a fascinating renewal. 

Recent Oaks Winners – Who Won Last Year?

Last year’s Epsom Oaks was won by MINNIE HAUK. She was a gutsy winner of the race and only just got up on the line to beat stablemate Whirl by a neck.

The daughter of Frankel would go on to win the Irish and Yorkshire Oaks too. She also had a tilt at the Arc de Triomphe but narrowly missed out.

Minnie Hauk was Aidan O’Brien’s 11th Oaks winner and this year he’ll be searching for number 12.

The Ballydoyle maestro currently has five of the 12 Epsom Oaks runners – giving him every chance of another success.

Who Is The 2026 Epsom Oaks Favourite?

The current favourite for the 2026 Oaks is AMELIA EARHART – she made her seasonal reappearance in the Cheshire Oaks and was an easy winner.

Since then, she has been favourite and has every chance of joining the illustrious list of Epsom Oaks winners.

She would give trainer O’Brien a 12th win in the race, taking him to just one behind the most successful trainer in the race.

Robert Robson is the only handler to win more renewals of the race with 13 wins from 1802-1825.

The Chester race she won has served as a solid Oaks trial in recent years and last year’s winner Minnie Hauk took that en route to Epsom glory.
