Ladbrokes Tip: The best out of the Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes may target Sydney’s $1 million Percy Sykes Stakes the next month.
The Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes is a popular Group 3 sprint for two-year-old fillies held in late March during the annual Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival.
Contested over 1200m at Flemington Racecourse, the event is the key support act on the Australian Cup Day card.
The set weights plus penalties race offers $200,000 in stakes and ran for the first time in 1971.
The race was originally known as the Bloodhorse Breeders Plate and ran over 1400m up until 1996 when the distance was reduced to 1200m.
It also held Group 2 status from 1980 – 1998 before dropping back to Group 3 grade in 1999.
The latest edition of the Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes ran on Saturday March 30, 2024 as part of Australian Cup Day at Flemington and was won in style by progressive Pierata filly Tobeornottobe ($6).

- To Win: #Silmarillion ($4.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Money is coming for the classy James Cummings-trained Silmarillion who is the early market mover here but still nice value to break her maiden status at start number three after two promising lead-ups. The Too Darn Hot filly has a wide alley (11) to overcome, but she’s doing plenty right to suggest she can win this Group 3 at HQ. Improved on a Canterbury third on debut when up notably in grade for the Group 2 Reisling Stakes at Randwick where she was narrowly beaten running second. In Melbourne now and gets her chance in this open 2YO’s race.
