History
Prior to 1961 (except for 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.
