The Group 2 BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes – formerly the QTC Sires’ Produce Stakes – is a 1400m set weights race that is specifically held for two year old horses. Held at Brisbane’s Eagle Farm Racecourse in late May or early June, the BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes is currently worth a generous $1 million in prize money having had stakes more than doubled in 2021. The event has been held on Kingsford Smith Cup Day since 2017, which is headlined by the Group 1 Kingsford Smith Cup (1300m) for Stradbroke Handicap-bound horses.

Many of the race entrants will come via a run in Doomben’s Group 2 Spirit Of Boom Classic (1200m) held at Doomben Racecourse a fortnight earlier and will continue onto a Stradbroke Handicap Day run in the Group 1 JJ Atkins (1600m), a double last achieved by Sizzling (2012) and the filly Sheeza Belter (2022).

Cifrado (2023) was the last horse to complete the Spirit Of Boom Classic – BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes double.

The form of the 2021 BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes was franked with the runner-up Converge going on to win the Group 1 JJ Atkins that season, while the winner Tiger Of Malay finished third in that mile showdown on Stradbroke Handicap Day.

The BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes 2023 ran on Saturday May 27, 2023 as part of Kingsford Smith Cup Day in Brisbane and was won by the Rex Lipp-trained colt Cifrado ($12) in a narrow upset.

2023 BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes Tips

Stay tuned for our insider BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes 2023 Tips on the million-dollar showdown this winter in Brisbane.

• To Win: #9 Solidify ($4.60 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Really tough 2YO’s race for the punters with a host of form lines to look through. Have landed on the Kiwi raider Solidify who is going too good across the Tasman to ignore for his first start down under. Chases a third win on the bounce with the Redwood colt a back-to-back 1200m winner at home recently. Would probably prefer a softer track, but looks like the 1400m will suit and is drawn a treat. Strong chance for a strong stable.
