ATC Sires Produce Stakes 2021

Ladbrokes Tip: Don’t back a horse that ran worse than fourth in the lead-up to the Inglis Sires’

The ATC Inglis Sires’ Produce Stakes, referred to as simply the Inglis Sires’, is one of the four Group 1 highlights on the Doncaster Mile Day card at Royal Randwick Racecourse on the first Saturday in April*.

*In 2021 the Inglis Sires’ ran on the second Saturday of April with all race meetings of the autumn in Sydney from Slipper Day onwards postponed a week due to the weather.

The meeting makes up Day 1 of the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival’s coveted The Championships and the other top level races on the card are the Doncaster Mile, TJ Smith Stakes and Australian Derby.

Open to two-year-olds and run at set weights, the ATC Inglis Sires’ offers $1 million in total prize money including $600,000 to the winning juvenile.

For the 2020 edition, the prizemoney was reduced to $500,000 with $287,000 for the winner due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but was elevated again in 2021.

Colts and geldings carry 56.5kg and the fillies 54.5kg over the 1400m. No lead-up races offer an ATC Inglis’ Sires’ Produce Stakes ballot exemption so the form coming into the classic is varied but the Golden Slipper Stakes traditionally provides the winner.

The Golden Slipper Stakes is the first leg of the Sydney Two-Years-Old Triple Crown followed by the Inglis Sires’ and then the Champagne Stakes. Pierro (2012) was the last juvenile to complete the coveted Autumn Triple Crown and joined just five other Australian turf champions in doing so.

More recently, King’s Legacy went on to win the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) next start after his upset victory in the 2020 Inglis Sires’.

The latest edition of the ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes took place on Saturday April 10, 2021 and was won by the Godolphin-raced Slipper runner-up Anamoe.
