Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 1 Journalists Posted April 1 Sires’ Produce favourite, Wodeton. Photo: Bradley Photos The Group 1 Sires’ Produce (1400m) is one of four Group 1 events for Day 1 of the Championships at Randwick on Saturday afternoon, attracting a select field of 10 two-year-olds to battle it out for the $1 million prize. The Chris Waller-trained Wodeton has opened the $2.80 favourite with horse racing betting sites for the event after a fast-finishing runner-up effort in the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) a fortnight ago. Coolmore has acquired the services of Ryan Moore for the absent James McDonald, with the Wootton Bassett colt set to jump from barrier nine. Rivellino is on the second line of betting at $3.50 with as he attempts to turn the tables on the favoured galloper, with Hugh Bowman once again poised to make the trip back from Hong Kong taking the reins. The most intriguing runner comes in the form of the undefeated Melbourne raider Vinrock ($6) who will be seeking Group 1 glory at just his third start after claiming dominant back-to-back wins in Victoria. Mark Zahra is booked to ride the I Am Invincible colt and appears the obvious leader in the race after drawing barrier one on Tuesday evening. State Visit is the only other runner in the mix according to Dabble, holding his price at $6 after an eye-catching effort in the Group 3 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on March 15. Bellazaine ($13), Prestige Forever ($15) and Buffalo ($26) are all friendless early, with punters happy to take the lead at the top of the market. 2025 ATC Sires Produce Stakes Final Field 1.
