The SA Sires Produce Stakes is a Group 3 race for two-year-olds that takes place annually each April at Morphettville Parks racecourse in Adelaide, South Australia during the Adelaide autumn racing carnival. The race is run over a distance of 1400 metres under set weight conditions and is worth $115,000 in prizemoney. The 2011 SA Sires Produce Stakes was taken out by Cute Emily from Win For Wilson with Cash Bound third.
Prior to 2010, the SA Sires Produce Stakes was held at the existing Morphettville track, but now takes place at the newly formed Morphettville Parks course.
The Sires Produce Stakes is the first group race held for two-year-olds over a distance longer than 1200m during the Adelaide autumn carnival and the Gr3 SA Breeders Stakes, held the previous month at the same track, provides the ideal lead up race to this event.
The 1400m distance of the race suits 2yo gallopers looking for more ground and its worth noting that Rebel Raider (2008) went on to win the Gr1 AAMI Victoria Derby over 2500m the following spring as a three-year-old.
Silent Surround (2009) was most competitive during the Melbourne spring as a three-year-old, running third in the Gr2 Edward Manifold Stakes and then second in the Gr2 Wakeful Stakes, both at Flemington.
Three-year-olds contesting this race may continue on to the Gr2 The Jansz National Stakes on Goodwood Day in April. Triple Asset (4th in 2011) managed to win The Jansz during the carnival, while Win For Wilson (2nd in 2011) finished runner-up in both races.
Cute Emily (2011) won a two-year-old race over 1200m at Caulfield prior to winning this race and recent SA Sires Produce Stakes winners have been Stirling Grove (2010) and Slient Surround (2009).
