- 1st: #5 Ethereum Girl

- 3rd: #10 Tip Top Tori
Ethereum Girl ($2.90F) delivered a commanding performance to head the 2025 Group 3 South Australian Sires’ Produce Stakes results at Morphettville Parks on Saturday. This marked her first black-type victory and confirmed her status as one of the most promising two-year-olds in training.
Trained by the Hayes brothers—Ben, Will, and JD—Ethereum Girl entered the race as the clear favourite, following a narrow defeat in the Listed Oaklands Plate on June 28, where she was just edged out by the colt Matahga. That strong lead-up form set the stage for her breakthrough win.
Jockey Jason Holder executed the stable’s instructions to perfection, focusing on getting the filly to settle despite a slow early tempo. Ethereum Girl tracked the leaders, including Volkano, and made her move at the 300m mark. She surged past the field with 200m to go, holding off a strong challenge from Mostly For Show and a late charge from outsider Tiptop Tori. The win was not only a milestone for the filly but also marked the 30th two-year-old victory of the season for the Hayes stable, underlining their dominance in the juvenile ranks.
As a daughter of Japanese sire Maurice and a $275,000 Magic Millions yearling, Ethereum Girl’s win significantly boosts her future broodmare value. While her next race has not been confirmed, her connections have hinted at further improvement and a likely step up in class and distance. Potential spring targets could include the Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes in Melbourne, the Thousand Guineas Prelude or Thousand Guineas, or even a campaign in Sydney’s Princess Series if the stable opts for a New South Wales route.

The South Australian Sires’ Produce Stakes – often known as simply the SA Sires’ or Sires’ Produce Stakes (SAJC) – is a Group 3 race held in Adelaide at Morphettville Parks Racecourse on a Saturday in mid to late July each winter racing season in South Australia.
It was previously contested in May before being moved to a later time slot ahead of the 2024 edition.
The set weights event is hosted by the South Australian Jockey Club (SAJC), currently offers $150,000 in prize money and is contested over 1400m by a field of mainly local two-year-old horses at the start of their careers.
Inaugurated back in 1945, the SA Sires’ Produce Stakes held Group 2 status for a stint between 1979 and 1991 before being downgraded to its current Group 3 level in 1992.
A number of class runners have taken out the race throughout history, most famously Rebel Raider in 2008 who won that year’s Group 1 Victoria Derby in Melbourne over the Cup Carnival at 100/1!

- To Win: #1 Volkano ($3.10 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Hard to knock the favourite for the McEvoy’s after such an impressive debut win. This son of Too Darn Hot had plenty of trials before lining-up on the Ballarat Synthetic over 1200m on July 8 only to easily account for his rivals by 4.5 lengths as the odds-on fancy leading from barrier to box. Heads to Morphettville now and should have no worries up a furlong to 1400m after that big margin. Carted 58kg in his maiden assignment and gets in well at set weights back to 57.5kg on the weekend. Drawn a dream in gate 3 and has Jacob Opperman coming aboard for the ride. Tougher task but from the front he’ll take some running down. Wins.
