The Ingham 2024 result

Recent Ingham Stakes runnings

• 2024: Robusto causes massive upset
  Bjorn Baker & Tim Clark have combined with Robusto ($31.00) claiming the Group 2 Ingham (1600m) at Randwick, storming clear at a massive price with horse racing bookmakers. The son of Churchill put the writing on the wall last time out, finishing runner-up in the Group 3 Festival Stakes (1500m) behind Private Eye ($6.00), closing off best of the rest in what turned out to be an on-speed dominated affair. The Churchill gelding got conditions to suit this time around, with Clark lobbing onto the back of a hot tempo from barrier four, courtesy of the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained I’mintowin ($7.00) powering across to maintain the early lead despite bombing the start. The heavily-back favourite with Neds, Gringotts ($4.00), seemingly got the perfect trail under Tommy Berry, allowing I’mintowin to give him the ideal cart into the race. Once asked for the ultimate effort, Gringotts appeared to be travelling best, but it was the Bjorn Baker-trained five-year-old gaining the upper hand, fending off the late challenges of Steparty ($15.00) and Encap ($26.00) in the concluding stages.
• 2023: Loch Eagle fights to secure victory in The Ingham
  Kris Lees and Dylan Gibbons have combined with Loch Eagle ($18.00) proving too strong in the Group 2 The Ingham (1600m) at Randwick on Saturday, earning his ticket to the 2024 Doncaster Mile (1600m) in the process. Phearson ($31.00) and Attractable ($8.50) were always going to ensure the 1600m contest would be run at a genuine clip, and that’s exactly what unfolded. The former was unable to match motors with the eventual runner-up, as Attractable slipped away for what, for a moment, seemed an unassailable lead, before Loch Eagle produced a stunning turn of foot to claw back the margin in the shadows of the post. The quinella pair of last year’s Ingham finished honest as ever, with Lion’s Roar ($6.00) and Kirwans Lane ($34.00) finishing in third and fourth respectively. It was all honours the winner, however, as Loch Eagle took home the majority of the $2 million prize to winning connections.
• 2022: O'Shea quinella's The Ingham
  John O’Shea capped off a brilliant day at Randwick, with his two horses, Kirwan’s Lane and Lion’s Roar running the quinella in the Group 2 The Ingham producing a minor upset in the feature event of the day. After winning the Inglis Nursery with Saltaire earlier in the day, O’Shea and his team have taken out both feature events on The Ingham Day. There was plenty of speed in The Ingham, with the market favourite, Riodini and Wild Planet taking up the lead before they punctured early in the straight, which set it up for Kirwan’s Lane and Lion’s Roar to swoop down the outside and fight out the finish. The winner jumped at a massive $23 with online bookmakers, while the runner-up was $51 chance, so anyone that landed any of the multiples will have been well rewarded.
• 2021: A brutal win in the Villiers
  Brutality helped end an impressive twelve months for trainer Joseph Pride, when the $6 chance punced on a vulnerable Ellsberg to claim the Villiers Stakes. Ridden to perfection by Regan Bayliss, the Joe Pride-trained gelding managed to produce a stunning turn of foot which saw him claim a key market rival inside the final 200m to signify his intentions heading into the Doncaster Mile during The Championships.
• 2020: King & Newnham combine once again
  Having combined with Quackerjack 12 months prior, the Mark Newnham & Rachel King combination struck again in the Villiers Stakes with Greysful Glamour. Rachel King was quick to have the big grey bounding along out in front like she likes to do and despite needing to do plenty of work early, fended off the challenges of her rivals. Despite tiring in the last 100m, Greysful Glamour had enough of a lead and managed to book her spot into the Doncaster Mile in the autumn.
• 2019: Quackerjack gets his head down in time
  Having been sent around as a $3.80 favourite, the Mark Newnham-trained Quackerjack needed every bit of the 1600m to claim victory in the Villiers Stakes, with the Not A Single Doubt gelding getting his nose down on the line just in time. Despite the Kris Lees-trained Invincible Gem looking like he had the race sewn up, Quackerjack grinded away to a smart victory and in doing so booked his spot in a Doncaster Mile. Despite being well in the market in the Doncaster in the autumn, he would struggle in the company of some of Australia’s best and ran a disappointing 18th.
