The WA Oaks was first run in 1953 and was won by Copper Beach.
The WA Oaks is run over 2400m under Set Weights conditions.
It was a G1 until 1991 then became G2 but was further downgraded again in 2006 to G3.
It has changed distances and was below the mile and a half in the early years. It has also been run at Belmont before.
