As the spring racing carnival heats up, the Moir Stakes at Moonee Valley is poised to be one of the highlights of the weekend. This prestigious 1000m Group 1 weight-for age contest often serves as a key stepping stone for sprinters eyeing a berth in The Everest, making it a must-watch event for racing enthusiasts.
Star-Studded Lineup for Moonee Valley
Leading the field this year are the powerful duo from Peter Moody’s stable, I Wish I Win and Chain of Lightning. Both horses have shown exceptional talent, with I Wish I Win looking to prove why he is one of the first to have cemented an Everest slot. His blistering speed and consistent performances make him a formidable opponent in any sprint race.
Chain of Lightning, a stablemate of I Wish I Win, is also set to make a strong showing. Known for her tenacity and powerful finish, she could well be in the mix as they hit the line.
Adding to the excitement are several other high-caliber horses:
Estriella, a rising star with impressive early form, could surprise many with a big performance.
Lady Of Camelot, the reigning Golden Slipper winner, returns to the track with high expectations. She’s shown she can mix it with the best, and her connections will be eager to see if she can carry her two-year-old form into her three-year-old season.
Coleman, the Golden Slipper runner-up, is another one to watch. His close finish in the Slipper has many expecting him to be a major player in the sprinting ranks.
Hayasugi, the Blue Diamond Stakes winner, rounds out the field of top-tier contenders. His form as a juvenile was impeccable, and he’ll be looking to add another Group 1 win to his resume.
A Race Rich in History of the Moir Stakes
The Moir Stakes has a rich history of producing memorable moments and great champions. In the past 30 years, nine horses have won the race first up, highlighting the importance of fresh legs and the ability to perform under pressure. This statistic will give connections confidence if their horses are making their seasonal debut.
Three-year-olds have also had a notable impact on the Moir Stakes, with eight of them winning in the past three decades. This includes four colts, one gelding, and three fillies, showcasing that the race is not just for seasoned veterans but also for emerging young stars looking to make their mark.
Eyeing Everest Glory after Moir Stakes
For many of these sprinters, the Moir Stakes is not just about securing a prestigious Group 1 victory but also about staking their claim for a coveted slot in The Everest. With $20 million in prizemoney and the title of Australia’s richest race, The Everest has become the pinnacle for sprinters, and a strong performance in the Moir Stakes could be the ticket to securing a spot in the starting gate at Randwick in October.
As we look ahead to this weekend, the Moir Stakes promises to deliver a thrilling spectacle with a field full of talent, history waiting to be made, and the lure of The Everest adding an extra layer of intrigue. Don’t miss what is sure to be one of the most exciting races of the spring carnival!
