The QTC Sires Produce Stakes was first held in 1916 and is a natural progression for two-year-olds who previously contested the Gr2 Champagne Classic (1200m) two weeks earlier at Doomben, as it is raced under the same conditions, but rises 200 metres in distance. The last two-year-old galloper to win the Champagne Stakes & Sires Produce Stakes double was Pressday in 2010.
Gold Edition (2nd in 2006) won the Champagne Classic prior to running a place in the Sires, while Impulsive Dream (2nd in 2009), Cat D'Antibes (3rd in 2008) & Diamond Deck (2nd in 2007) all placed in the Champagne Classic before placing in this event. Virage de Fortune (2005) & Lovely Jubly (2002) were good enough to win both races and the Champagne Classic is definitely a very good guide to who might perform best in this race.
Two-year-olds contesting this event will more than likely go on to the Gr1 TJ Smith (1600m) a week later on Stradbroke Handicap day at Eagle Farm, with Fravashi (2008), Masked Assassin (2007) and Danleigh (2006) all going on to run placings in the TJ Smith.
Pressday (2010) went on to win the Champagne Classic, Sires Produce Stakes and The TJ Smith treble in a successful Brisbane winter carnival, while Lovely Jubly (2002) was the last 2yo to win the Sires & TJ Smith double before that.
Pressday (2010) won the Champagne Stakes prior to winning this race and recent QTC Sires Produce Stakes winners have been Shoot Out (2009) and Fravashi (2008).
