- 2nd: No. 4 I’m Ya Huckleberry
- 3rd: No. 8 Revengeance
Michael Freedman’s son of the stable’s former Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside, Incognito ($5) was excellent on debut quickening well with 200m to go displaying a lovely turn of foot off a run three-wide.

2025 Breeders’ Plate Tips
Our Ladbrokes’ insider Breeders’ Plate 2025 betting tips and Randwick racing selections will be detailed below the week of the race so bookmark this page for the young sprinters to get behind at the best price this season.
To Win: No. 2 Eviction Notice
EVICTION NOTICE (2) is the favourite and market mover for the Breeders’ Plate and based on his dominant lead-up trial win I think he can salute on debut for the punters. This Stay Inside colt hails from the stables of Waterhouse & Bott who are guns with youngsters, and he put the writing on the wall at the Kensington track when flying over 850m to win his hit out by nearly eight lengths. Will easily get the 1000m, drawn a treat in a small field and has Tim Clark sticking aboard after he rode him in that enormous trial. Looks to have speed in spades and shapes up as the one to beat.

The Breeders’ Plate is a Group 3 race conducted at Royal Randwick Racecourse on Epsom Handicap Day each Sydney Spring Racing Carnival.
The meeting is traditionally held on either the final Saturday in September or first in October and is headlined by the Group 1 Epsom Handicap (1600m). The Group 1 The Metropolitan (2400m) for Spring Cups-bound stayers and Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) for the fillies are the other elite level races on the card.
The Everest hopefuls are also on display in the Group 2 $1 million Premiere Stakes (1200m).
The Breeders’ Plate, previously a Listed race, gained its current Group 3 status in 2018 and currently offers $250,000 in prize money.
The 1000m, set weights sprint is open only to two-year-old colts and geldings.
The Breeders’ Plate, along with the Group 3 Gimcrack Stakes for the fillies held on the same day, are the first two-year-old races of the racing season in New South Wales.
Two-year-olds out of the Breeders’ Plate often head towards the $1 million Golden Gift later in the spring with Sejardan (2021) the last to do the double.
Horses out of the Breeders’ Plate often return the following autumn to target the Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m).
North England (3rd in 2024) was the last Breeders’ Plate graduate to go on and win the Golden Gift.
