The ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes – also known as the Inglis’ Sires Produce – is a Group 1 race for the season’s best two-year-olds. Worth $1,000,000 in prize money, the 1400m event is a set weights race with colts and geldings carrying 56.5kg and fillies carrying 54.5kg.

The prizemoney for the 2020 Inglis Sires’ was reduced to $500,000 to help cope with the financial strain of the COVID-19 pandemic on Australian racing before being boosted back to $1 million in 2021.

The race is held on one of the biggest race days in Sydney – Doncaster Mile Day – that runs on the first Saturday in April* as Day 1 of ‘The Championships’. The meeting has a total of four Group 1 races with the Group 1 ATC Australian Derby (2400m), Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) and the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) the other highlights on the card.

*In 2021 the Inglis Sires’ ran on the second Saturday of April with all race meetings of the autumn in Sydney from Slipper Day onwards postponed a week due to the weather.

This is the first event greater than 1200m for all two year old horses competing in the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival and is therefore used as a guide to the upcoming Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m), which is held on the final day of the Randwick Autumn Racing Carnival two weeks after the ATC Sires Produce Stakes.

The ATC Sires Produce Stakes / Champagne Stakes double has recently been achieved by the likes of Guelph (2013), Pierro (2012), Helmet (2011), and Militarize (2023).

Many of the horses that make up the ATC Sires Produce Stakes field come off a run in the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill in March, which is the world’s richest race for juveniles. The last two-year-olds to win the Golden Slipper Stakes – ATC Sires Produce double were Pierro (2012), King’s Legacy (2020) who won the first leg as a  $19 outsider in betting and the brilliant filly Fireburn (2022).

In 2021 Anamoe improved on a lead-up second in the Golden Slipper to win the Inglis Sires’ and went on to frank the form that spring winning the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) before a thrilling second in that year’s Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) in Melbourne.

The 2022 Inglis Sires’ form was franked with the winning filly Fireburn running second next-up in the Champagne Stakes results. She’s Extreme meanwhile improved on her Sires’ second to win the Champagne Stakes that year before returning in the spring to run top three in a number of Group 1 races including her victory in the VRC Oaks in Melbourne.

Chris Waller’s upset Inglis Sires’ 2023 winner Militarize improved on luckless 13th in that year’s Golden Slipper results won by his stablemate Shinzo.

Militarize went on to win that year’s Champagne Stakes at his next start and further franked the 2023 Inglis Sires’ form in the spring winning the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m).

The 2024 Inglis Sires’ winner also came via the Slipper with Manaal improving on her lead-up fifth to beat home the boys over further.

The 2024 ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes took place on Saturday April 6, 2024 Royal Randwick on Day 1 of ‘The Championships’ and saw the Michael Freedman-trained filly Manaal ($5.50) post a narrow but impressive victory over the colts and geldings.

2024 ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes Tips

Stay tuned for our insider Inglis Sires’ 2024 Tips on the two-year-olds’ showdown this autumn at Randwick.

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

While Lady Of Camelot’s scratch throws a wrench into my plans, the rain-affected track opens up some value opportunities. With that in mind, I’m turning my attention to Manaal, a filly with the potential for a late surge and surprise in this field. Michael Freedman’s progressive Tassort filly boasts an unblemished record at Randwick (2-for-2), including a victory in the Group 2 Sweet Embrace on soft going two starts back. Her latest effort saw her finish a credible fifth in the Golden Slipper from a challenging barrier draw (drawn from the carpark) at long odds (40/1). The smaller field and additional time in the run with the wider draw this time around should suit her running style. Her experience at Randwick and potential to handle the heavy track make her a contender with a big chance.

The future of racing roars onto the scene as 243 untamed two-year-olds make up the 2024 Inglis Sires’ nominations. Leading the charge are the undefeated duo from Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott: Storm Boy, the $3 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic champion, and the equally impressive Shangri La Express, winner of the Golden Gift last time in. These young guns have yet to be challenged, but the Inglis Sires’ will test their mettle against a field brimming with potential. Don’t underestimate Chris Waller’s entry, the enigmatic Switzerland.

With so many promising juveniles ready to prove themselves, the Inglis Sires’ promises an electrifying clash and a glimpse into the future stars of the turf.

ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes History

The ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes was first run in 1867 over a one mile distance. First won by Glencoe, the race forms the middle leg of the Australian 2 year old “Triple Crown”, which also consists of the Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) and Champagne Stakes (1600m).

The biggest upset in recent ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes history occurred in 2018 when the roughie maiden from Newcastle El Dorado Dreaming defeated the favourite Oohood to the line in an all-filly quinella.

Notable ATC Sires Produce Stakes winners include Ajax (1937), Tulloch (1957), Luskin Star (1977), Snippets (1987), Octagonal (1995), Dance Hero (2004), Sebring (2008), Helmet (2011), Pierro (2012), Yankee Rose (2016), Anamoe (2021), Fireburn (2022), and Militarize (2023).

The 2020 Inglis Sires’ was run during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic in front of a spectator-free grandstand and saw co-trainer Peter Snowden win the race for the fifth time with King’s Legacy.

Trainer Chris Waller celebrated his maiden Inglis Sires’ victory in 2023 with an upset win by Militarize ($21) who was ridden to victory by Brazilian hoop Joao Moreira.
