This Saturday Eagle Farm hosts their first major meeting of this year’s Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival, the Treasury Casino Queensland Oaks Day.
A major drawcard at the meeting will be the exciting two-year-olds running in the $250,000 Group 2 BRC Sire’s Produce Stakes (1400m).
This year the juveniles’ set weights feature has attracted 21 classy nominations, including the last start winner of the Group 2 Champagne Classic at Doomben, Pressday.
The Chris Waller-trained Domesday colt has had just four career starts for two wins and a place and will be looking to make it back-to-back black type success if they gain a start on Saturday.
Rosehill-based trainer Waller also has Stratum gelding American Crew nominated for the 2010 Sire’s Produce Stakes.
Other Champagne Stakes runners backing up with a run in the Sire’s Produce this weekend include fourth and fifth placegetters Adebisi and Smokin’ Joey.
Lee Freedman’s well bred Encosta De Lago colt Smokin’ Joey took out the Listed Blue Sapphire Stakes on debut before running an eye-catching fifth in the Champagne Classic.
Half-sister to Smokin’ Joey, the David Payne-trained Encosta De Lago filly Bombay is one of the top fillies nominated for the BRC Sire’s Produce.
The BRC Sire’s Produce Stakes is an excellent lead-up race to the feature two-year-olds’ race in Queensland, the $500,000 Group 1 TJ Smith (1600m) held on June 12, and many of Saturday’s hopefuls are on their way towards the TJ Smith.
The final field of acceptances for the 2010 BRC Sire’s Produce Stakes will be announced later in the week and published here. In the meantime check out the odds for the feature Eagle Farm Races on Saturday, including the $400,000 Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2400m), at IASbet now to lock in the best value odds!
