The British Columbia Derby is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race run annually during the third week of September at Hastings Racecourse (formerly Exhibition Park) in Vancouver, British Columbia.

History[]

Prior to 1961 (with the exception of 1949 and 1956), the BC Derby was run at Lansdowne Park Racetrack in Richmond, British Columbia.

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 offers a purse of $114,960, the richest and most important race at Hastings Racecourse.
