Yorkshire Oaks 2026 Betting Odds

Thursday 20 August 2026 · York · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

There’s never been a more star-studded line-up for a Yorkshire Oaks renewal than the 2026 edition, with this Group One race certainly taking a lot of winning on 20 August. Kalpana has won two of her past three races and looks a solid shout to win, although Estrange boasts similar credentials and the five-year-old has landed successive victories this term.

Minnie Hauk was the winner of the 2025 Yorkshire Oaks although the big question is whether the horse can repeat this level given the form so far. Preference is instead for Johanna Walsh who has run commendably on a number of occasions this term. Joseph O’Brien’s three-year-old could find further improvement on the big stage.

Yorkshire Oaks Betting Tips

Johanna Walsh might sound like the name of a Vampire Weekend song, although she’s likely to be a warm order for the Yorkshire Oaks. The filly came to the fore at Leopardstown in May when obliging by over three lengths in an encounter over a mile and two furlongs. Then there was an impressive showing at Royal Ascot in the Ribblesdale Stakes.

Over the slightly further one mile and four furlongs, Joseph O’Brien’s charge was fended into second by a head, with the mare wandering about when she hit the lead. However, the Juddmonte Irish Oaks saw the horse not only claim the spoils at 7/2 but also win by a considerable four lengths. Further improvement could be on the cards here.

Kalpana won the Aston Park Stakes at Newbury back in May before a second-placed finish at Royal Ascot, with that coming in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes. The 9/4 favourite was fended off by a short head and could be wagered, with a success in the King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes being achieved at Ascot at the end of July.

Estrange is a smart performer who boasts a 100% record for the new season, with the five-year-old racking up a couple of victories this term. There was a success at Carlisle at the end of May, with the 8/11 favourite winning by a length and a half. There was also a success in the Pretty Polly Stakes over a mile and two furlongs, with more to come from the charge.
