The Breeders’ Classic is a Group 2 handicap race specifically for mares aged four years and older. Held at Sydney’s Randwick Racecourse in February, the 1200m sprinting event offers $175,000 in prize money.
The Breeders’ Classic is an excellent race for mares returning from a spell and is held on the same race day as the Group 2 Royal Sovereign Stakes (1200m) and the Light Fingers Stakes (1200m).
Many of the runners in the Breeders’ Classic field may come via the 1200m Expressway Stakes held one week earlier.
The Breeders’ Classic 2012 will be run on Saturday February 18th, 2012.
