    Run over 1,400 metres each March at Flemington on Newmarket Handicap Day, the VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes is a time-honoured Group 2 race for two-year-olds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First contested in 1862, the VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes has been won by many turf greats throughout its history including Tulloch (1957) and Vain (1969).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Listed Talindert Stakes also run at HQ earlier during the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival serves as a nice lead-up and All Too Hard (2012) was the last to do the double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The best out of the race may continue onto Sydney for the Group 1 Inglis Sires’<\/a> run in April at Randwick during The Championships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Vinrock (2025) was the last horse to complete the interstate VRC Sires\u2019 \u2013 Inglis Sires\u2019 double.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
