ATC Sires Produce Stakes 2024

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.

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 2021 Inglis Sires’ winner Anamoe improved on a lead-up second in the Golden Slipper to win before a huge spring headlined by his Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) win and second in the Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) in Melbourne.

Gary Portelli’s brilliant filly Fireburn in 2022 was the last two-year-old to do the Golden Slipper – Inglis Sires’ double.

Militarize (2023) was the last horse to do the Inglis Sires’ – Champagne Stakes double.

The latest edition of the ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes took place on Saturday April 6, 2024 on Day 1 of Randwick’s ‘The Championships’ and saw the sole filly in the race, the Michael Freedman-trained Manaal ($5.50), narrowly beat home the boys in a terrific performance.

ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes Betting

ATC Inglis Sires’ Produce Stakes betting is led by two-year-olds that ran top four in their final lead-up run with only three winners since 1990 having run worse than fourth in their last Group lead-up, most recently the Chris Waller-trained Militarize (13th in the Golden Slipper in 2023) followed by Manaal (5th in the Slipper in 2024).

From 2006 – 2024 just five Inglis Sires’ favourites saluted for the punters when Camarilla (2007) and Sebring (2008) went back-to-back, Yankee Rose (2016) got the job done eight years later,  Anamoe (2021) won as the odds-on fancy, and Fireburn (2022) backed up from her Slipper success to salute at $2.50 in the Sires’.

Longer priced hopes in the Inglis Sires’ Produce Stakes odds have a good record but until the huge 2018 upset by El Dorado Dreaming ($81) there had still only been one double figure winner in that time when Yosei scored the upset at $17 in 2010.

There was another upset in 2020 with King’s Legacy winning as a $19 chance in Inglis Sires’ betting for five-time winning trainer Peter Snowden, while in 2023 Militarize won at Inglis Sires’ odds of $21.

Horses coming off a Golden Slipper Stakes lead-up dominate the markets and the feature juvenile’s race of the year has produced more ATC Inglis Sires’ Produce winners than any other event.

Held a fortnight before over 200m shorter, the Golden Slipper is the world’s richest race for two-year-olds and has provided more ATC Sires’ winners than any other lead-up.

Anamoe (2nd in 2021), Fireburn (1st in 2022) who did the double, and Militarize (13th in 2023), and Manaal (5th in 2024) are the last Inglis Sires’ winners to come off a Golden Slipper lead-up.

Our Ladbrokes’ insider Inglis Sires’ 2024 betting tips will be published below the week of the race so stay tuned for the two-year-old to back this autumn.

• To Win: #10 Manaal ($6 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Was keen on Lady Of Camelot before she scratched out and still hunting for value on the rain-affected track, have landed on Manaal who can swoop late and surprise a few in this field. Michael Freedman’s progressive Tassort filly is unbeaten with a two-from-two record at the Randwick track including a Group 2 Sweet Embrace win on soft going two back. At her latest she was only two lengths beaten as a 40/1 outsider from the carpark draw in the Golden Slipper finishing fifth. Should handle the heavy going, smaller field with more time. Wider out will suit this time. Back at Randwick. Big chance.
