The AJC Sires Produce Stakes is a classic event for two-year-olds that gives young horses their first test at greater than 1200m in a group race during the autumn. Horses who contested the Gr1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill two weeks earlier will most likely be aimed at this event and the race suits horses who run on strongly in the Slipper, where the extra distance of this event may assist.
It is a race that is usually taken out by a very good galloper who may go on to bigger and better things. Quality gallopers Dance Hero (2004), Victory Vein (2002), Encounter (1997), Octagonal (1995) & St Covet (1994) all won this race as a two-year-old.
More recently, Manhattan Rain (2009) finished a top second to So You Think in the Gr1 WS Cox Plate during the following spring in Melbourne, while Rostova (3rd in 2009) won the Gr1 Robert Sangster Stakes in the autumn of 2010.
This race has been a great guide to the Gr1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) on the final day of the Randwick autumn carnival. In recent times Skilled (2nd in 2010), Samantha Miss (2nd in 2008) & Meurice (2nd in 2007) went on to win the Champagne Stakes, while Dance Hero (2004), Hasna (2003), Victory Vein (2002), Viscount (2001), Assertive Lad (2000) all won the Sires Produce Stakes & Champagne Stakes double.
Onemorenomore (4th in 2009) went on to win the Champagne Stakes, while Tickets (2nd in 2009) ran second in the same race, with Manhattan Rain (2009) finishing third.
Yosei (2010) ran fourth in the Gr2 Reisling Slipper Trial on her way to winning this event and recent winners of the Sires Produce Stakes have been Manhattan Rain (2009) and Sebring (2008).
