2026 G1 Moir Stakes – Barrier Draw – The Girls Might Have It!

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday Sep 2

A field of 13 has accepted for the $750,000 Group I MVRC Moir Stakes (1000m) run at Sandown this Saturday and it might be another year for the mares with 11 of the 13 runners this year all female!

The only three year-old in the field is brilliant Home Affairs filly Natural Fling, who was not favoured by the draw coming up with the extreme outside gate of 13.

Golden oldies – and the only geldings- Giga Kick and Rothfire drew gates nine and one, while the in-form Cavalry Girl will be shooting for her fourth win in in a row and has barrier five.
