The Kindergarten Stakes is a race for two-year-olds only and the early 2yo races provide trainers with a chance to get their young horses race fit for the ultimate prize for two-year-olds in the autumn, the $3.5Million Gr1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) in April at Rosehill.
Youngsters who ran in the Gr2 Silver Slipper Stakes (1100m) a week previously may consider tackling this race as it is run under the same conditions.
Races like the Gr2 Sweet Embrace Stakes (1200m) for fillies and Gr2 Skyline Stakes (1200m) for colts & geldings held the following week at Randwick may be next on the agenda for any two-year-olds contesting this event.
Held on Warwick Farm's only day of racing during the autumn which is Gr1 Chipping Norton Stakes (1600m) day, the Kindergarten Stakes will usually attract handy types heading towards the better 2yo races ahead at Randwick and Rosehill in weeks to come.
Wanted (2009) proved himself a top group race performer the following spring in Melbourne running placings in the Gr2 Danehill Stakes, Gr2 Schillaci Stakes and Gr1 Patinack Farm Classic. He then returned in the Melbourne autumn of 2010 to run second in both the Gr1 Lightning Stakes and Gr1 William Reid Stakes, before scoring a top win in Flemington's premier autumn sprint, the Gr1 Newmarket Handicap on Super Saturday of Racing.
Solar Charged (2010) was resuming from a spell when she won this race at only her second race start and recent winners of the Kindergarten Stakes have been Wanted (2009) and Mr Profumo (2008).

2010 Kindergarten Stakes: Solar Charged led easily on settling and as they straightened up for the run home he got further ahead and ran away for the easiest of wins. Elimbari was always well back and made up a lot of ground in the straight to grab second from the tiring Georgette Silk, who trailed the leader before losing ground to finish third.
