After finishing second in the Norman Robinson Stakes at Caulfield, Warning then started the third favourite at $9.50 at his next start in the Victoria Derby. Ridden by Damien Oliver in wet conditions, Warning settled in 4th position during the run and hit the front with 250 metres to go and extended his lead to win by over three lengths. The win was jockey Oliver's sixth Victorian Derby success.[4]
