The British Columbia Derby is a Canadian

Thoroughbred horse race run annually in September at Hastings Racecourse (formerly Exhibition Park) in Vancouver, British Columbia. Established in 2023, the British Columbia Derby is the third and final jewel of the Western Canadian Triple Crown
.

History

Prior to 1961 (with the exception of 1949 and 1956), the BC Derby was run at Lansdowne Park Racetrack in Richmond, British Columbia. The BC Derby was not run in 2020 or 2021 owing to factors relating to the Covid 19 pandemic.

Open to three-year-old horses, the Grade III is run on dirt at a distance of 1+1⁄8 miles (9 furlongs) and currently (2022) offers a purse of CDN$125,000, the richest and most important race at Hastings Racecourse.
