The Ingham 2023 result


1stLoch Eagle (+1700)
2ndAttractable (+200)
3rdLion’s Roar (+140)

Recent Ingham Stakes runnings

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
