Sires Produce Stakes History & Winners

Recent winners include Castelvecchio, King’s Legacy, Coolangatta, Shinzo and Storm Boy. The 1400m trip at Rosehill provides a strong stamina test for two-year-olds and the race has a strong record of producing future 3YO stars.

Lead-In Races

The main lead-in is the Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m), with juveniles that show more stamina than pure speed stepping up to the Sires. The Group 2 Todman Stakes and Reisling Stakes also feed into the race. Many Sires runners then back up in the Champagne Stakes at Randwick.
