The Group 1 Sires Produce Stakes (1400m) - also known as the Inglis Sires' - takes place at Royal Randwick Racecourse annually in April and is part of Sydney’s Juvenile Triple Crown.
The two-year-old set-weights race takes place on the third to last week of the
Sydney Autumn Carnival and is one of four Group 1 races on Day 1 of The Championships.
Glencoe won the inaugural Sires Produce Stakes in 1867 when the race was run over one mile.
Although the race was originally run over one mile and is currently run over 1400m, from 1905 to 1908 the Sires Produce was a six furlong race (1200m).
The Sires Produce Stakes is a natural progression for Golden Slipper runners that can stretch out to beyond a sprinting distance.
Winners of the Sires Produce Stakes have also gone on to compete in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes held at Royal Randwick two weeks later.
Notable winners of the Sires Produce Stakes include: Robinson Crusoe (1876), Chester (1877), Ajax (1937), Shannon (1944), Tulloch (1957), Baguette (1970), Luskin Star (1977), Octagonal (1995), Sebring (2008), Pierro (2012), Guelph (2013), Pride Of Dubai (2015) and Yankee Rose (2016).
