Albury trainer Kym Davison celebrated her maiden city win with her progressive The Autumn Sun gelding Autumn Break ($8) showing plenty of fight to narrowly deny Kilman victory in the 2026 ATC Carbine Club Stakes results at Randwick. Ridden by Sam Clipperton, Autumn Break came from fifth at the top of the straight getting a great cart into the race before pulling out all the stops to finish hard down the outside for a gutsy photo-finish Group 3 victory.

The ATC Carbine Club Stakes is a Group 3 race for three-year-olds run over 1600m at Royal Randwick on Day 1 of Sydney’s The Championships.
The Championships are traditionally held across the opening two Saturdays in April as the highlight of the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
The ATC Carbine Club Stakes is run on the same day as the Group 1 Doncaster Mile, TJ Smith Stakes, Australian Derby and Inglis Sires’ and attracts a quality line-up of young milers each season.
The event offers $250,000 in prize money and was first contested in 1981, gaining Group 3 status in 2011.
The race, like its Melbourne counterpart in the spring, is named in honour of former New Zealand-bred champion Carbine whose CV included victories in the Sydney Cup (1889, 1890) and Melbourne Cup (1890).
The 2025 Carbine Club Stakes form well and truly stood up, with winner Evaporate returning for a huge spring that included Group 1 placings in the Toorak Handicap (2nd), the $10 million Golden Eagle (3rd) and the CF Orr (3rd). He then came back the following autumn and added a runner‑up finish in the 2026 All‑Star Mile to his record.
