Byerley legal
Sunday 12, 2026 6:07 AM By Best BetsThe season is almost over but the two-year-olds get one last chance at group glory this Saturday in the Group 3 SA Sires' Produce Stakes (1400m) at Morphettville.
The race will allow a promising youngster to add valuable juvenile black type to their pedigree page and is sure to attract interest from interstate as well as SA stables.
There's an interesting two-year-old race at Flemington, too, with the Byerley Handicap (1800m) offering ballot-free entry to the Victoria Derby or Oaks for the winner. The ill-fated Arcora won last year's Byerley, then went on to run second in the derby in spring. The other highlights at Flemington are the Deane Lester Flemington Cup 1849 for the stayers and the final of the Rising Stars apprentice series.
The Sydney action returns to Rosehill for the Winter Challenge, while they're back at Doomben in Brisbane.
