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. 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.
