ATC Sires Produce Stakes Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Inglis Sires’ 2026 Tips & Best Bets on the two-year-olds’ showdown this autumn at Randwick.
Each Way: No. 4 Campione D’italia
Streisand has the talent, no doubt, but with fillies historically struggling in the Inglis Sires’, I’m hunting for value and landing firmly on the rapidly improving CAMPIONE D’ITALIA (3). Chris Waller trains, James McDonald rides, and barrier three gives him the perfect platform—three big ticks straight away. The Snitzel colt has come a long way in a short time: he was tailed off on debut in the Lonhro Plate, then surged to a narrow but gritty maiden win in the G2 Skyline Stakes at 40/1. Thrown straight into the deep end in the Golden Slipper at just his third start, he produced a huge run from near last to finish fourth, attacking the line like a horse crying out for 1400m. That performance, combined with his pattern, screams “big improver” here. He’s already won at Randwick, he finally gets conditions to suit, and he still has plenty of upside. For mine, he’s the value and the one capable of taking a big step forward.

ATC Sires Produce Stakes News
The ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes – also known as the Inglis’ Sires Produce – is a Group 1 race for the season’s best two-year-olds. Worth $1,000,000 in prize money, the 1400m event is a set weights race with colts and geldings carrying 56.5kg and fillies carrying 54.5kg.
The prizemoney for the 2020 Inglis Sires’ was reduced to $500,000 to help cope with the financial strain of the COVID-19 pandemic on Australian racing before being boosted back to $1 million in 2021.
The race is held on one of the biggest race days in Sydney – Doncaster Mile Day – that runs on the first Saturday in April as Day 1 of ‘The Championships’. The meeting has a total of four Group 1 races with the Group 1 ATC Australian Derby (2400m), Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) and the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) the other highlights on the card.
This is the first event greater than 1200m for all two-year-old horses competing in the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival and is therefore used as a guide to the upcoming Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m), which is held on the final day of the Randwick Autumn Racing Carnival two weeks after the ATC Sires Produce Stakes.
The ATC Sires Produce Stakes / Champagne Stakes double has recently been achieved by the likes of Guelph (2013), Pierro (2012), Helmet (2011), and Militarize (2023).
Many of the horses that make up the ATC Sires Produce Stakes field come off a run in the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill in March, which is the world’s richest race for juveniles. The last two-year-olds to win the Golden Slipper Stakes – ATC Sires Produce double were Pierro (2012), King’s Legacy (2020) who won the first leg as a $19 outsider in betting and the brilliant filly Fireburn (2022).
Campione D’italia (4th in 2026) was the last Inglis Sires’ winner to come via a lead-up run in the Golden Slipper.
In 2021 Anamoe improved on a lead-up second in the Golden Slipper to win the Inglis Sires’ and went on to frank the form that spring winning the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) before a thrilling second in that year’s Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) in Melbourne.
The 2022 Inglis Sires’ form was franked with the winning filly Fireburn running second next-up in the Champagne Stakes results. She’s Extreme meanwhile improved on her Sires’ second to win the Champagne Stakes that year before returning in the spring to run top three in a number of Group 1 races including her victory in the VRC Oaks in Melbourne.
Chris Waller’s upset Inglis Sires’ 2023 winner Militarize improved on luckless 13th in that year’s Golden Slipper results won by his stablemate Shinzo.
Militarize went on to win that year’s Champagne Stakes at his next start and further franked the 2023 Inglis Sires’ form in the spring winning the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m).
The 2024 Inglis Sires’ winner also came via the Slipper with Manaal improving on her lead-up fifth to beat home the boys over further.
Waller won the Inglis Sires’ for the second time in 2026 with Campione D’italia.

The updated ATC Inglis Sires’ Produce Stakes 2026 betting odds across the autumn will be available at Ladbrokes.com.au and also published here at Races.com.au.

There was a notable upset in 2023 with Militarize winning at Inglis Sires’ odds of $21 for Chris Waller, while the sole filly in that year’s race Pier Pressure added further value to the trifecta running third at 150/1.
