Who has won the Irish Oaks?
The roll of honour lists every Irish Oaks winner since 1990 with SP, age, weight, trainer, jockey and owner. Winners on the list include Enable, Ouija Board, Snowfall, Sea Of Class and User Friendly.
What do the Irish Oaks trends show?
19 of the 36 Irish Oaks winners since 1991 had last run in Britain or Ireland 31 to 60 days earlier, the most common gap, and 27 of the 36 had finished in the first three on their previous run.

Aidan O'Brien leads the Irish Oaks trainers with 8 wins and Johnny Murtagh leads the riders with 6. Both tables show runners, strike rate and the year of each name's last win.
