The 2026 Inglis Sprint Results & Finishing Order will be published as soon as the race runs on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
- #2 Getta Good Feeling
- #1 Nashville Jack
- #13 Fundamental Nature
Danny O’Brien’s talented So You Think filly Getta Good Feeling ($21) was too strong fresh running over the top of her rivals late to score an impressive first-up upset in the 2026 Inglis Sprint results. Resuming off a sixth in the VRC Oaks last spring, the bonny three-year-old made it three-from-four at the Flemington track having already secured Group 2 victories at HQ in the Edward Manifold and Wakeful Stakes. She was given a perfectly-timed ride by Billy Egan to come from midfield and run past the leading pack to extend and salute by a half-length.

The Inglis Sprint is a feature race for three-year-old runners held at the famous Flemington Racecourse on a Saturday in late February or early March during the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival.
The event is restricted to Inglis sales graduates and is part of the exciting Australian Guineas Day card at headquarters.
The sole elite level feature on the Flemington card at the meeting is the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m), also for three-year-old runners, while the Group 2 Blamey Stakes (1600m) is the other key support act on Guineas Day.
Part of the coveted Inglis Race Series, the Inglis Sprint is worth $1 million in prize money and is run at set weights down the famous Flemington ‘Straight Six’ (1200m).
Horses that contested the previous season’s $2 million Inglis Millennium (1100m) as juveniles in Sydney often return as autumn three-year-olds to contest the Inglis Sprint in Victoria.
The Inglis Sprint was first run in 2015 when the filly Lady Sniper became the inaugural champion. Initially, it was held at Randwick Racecourse in Sydney before moving to Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse in 2022.
The opening two editions took place in Sydney in December, while there was no 2017 race before the event resumed as an annual autumn feature from 2018 onwards.

Inglis Sprint Betting
Inglis Sprint odds and betting traditionally favour proven gallopers that have winning form over the distance and at Flemington down the straight.
Favourites in Inglis Sprint betting have a solid recent record.
Estriella ($3.20 in 2024) was the last Inglis Sprint favourite to salute for the punters.
Any past Group race winners are usually high up the Inglis Sprint markets.
Barriers have not really affected the Inglis Sprint results to date and so the barrier draw has a lesser impact on the Inglis Sprint odds.
Between 2021 and 2026 three of the five Inglis Sprint winners jumped from a double-digit gate with Rocketing By (barrier 10 in 2021), Overpass (barrier 13 in 2022), and Benedetta (barrier 16 in 2023).
Last start winners make a nice Inglis Sprint bet including any fillies out of the Group 3 Kevin Hayes Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield on CF Orr Stakes Day.
Estriella (2024) was the last horse to complete the Kevin Hayes Stakes – Inglis Sprint double.
There was a notable upset in 2026 by the resuming filly Getta Good Feeling who saluted at big Inglis Sprint odds of $21!
Inglis Sprint Field
The Inglis Sprint race field has a capacity of 20 starters plus four emergencies and attracts the season’s most promising three-year-old sprinters.
Following a run in the Inglis Sprint the top three-year-old contenders may continue onto tougher autumn assignments including Sydney’s Group 1 The Galaxy (1100m) held at Rosehill in late March on Golden Slipper Day, Moonee Valley’s Group 1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) run south on the same date, and Randwick’s Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) run in April during The Championships.
2026 Inglis Sprint Field
The official Inglis Sprint 2026 Final Field is set for release at 9:30am (local time) on the Wednesday of race week.
The 2026 Inglis Sprint field features a bumper field of three-year-olds including the Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman-trained Group 3 Peter Le Grand winning filly Alpha Sofie chasing her fifth win on the trot.
