2022 George Ryder Stakes Scratchings:
- #2 Mo’unga
- #10 Hungry Heart
- #11 Converge (10)
Randwick Guineas winner Converge has been withdrawn in favour of a rematch with Anamoe in the Rosehill Guineas one race earlier.
Chris Waller opted not to run his mare Hungry Heart due to the Heavy (8) track.
Trainer Annabel Neasham officially withdrew Mo’unga on Friday due to abnormal bloodwork.
“Mo’unga has unfortunately returned a slightly abnormal blood profile. This was undertaken today after leaving feed & a slight increase in his usual temperature. We have taken the unfortunate decision to scratch from tomorrows G1 George Ryder in the best interests of Mo’unga,” @ANeashamRacing confirmed on Twitter.

George Ryder Stakes History
The George Ryder Stakes was first held in 1946, over a distance of 1400 metres, and was taken out by Bragger. The distance of the race was increased to 1450 metres in 1985 and became a 1500 metre event in 1986.
Equine superstar Manikato holds the record for the fastest winning time in George Ryder Stakes, winning the 1980 edition in a time of 1 minute and 21.6 seconds.
In 2021 the original Golden Slipper Stakes race day including the George Ryder Stakes was abandoned due to heavy rainfall and unsafe track conditions and postponed to the following Saturday.
George Ryder Stakes Winners
The George Ryder Stakes has been a Group 1 race since 1980 and has been one by some of the biggest names in Australian racing history. Equine superstars that have tasted success in the George Ryder Stakes include Comedy Prince (1949), Manikato (1979 and 1980), Emancipation (1983 and 1984), Schillaci (1993), Lonhro (2003 and 2004), Weekend Hussler (2008) and Pierro (2013).
In the past decade Chris Waller has dominated the George Ryder Stakes results winning with: Danleigh (2010), Rangirangdoo (2011), Metal Bender (2012) and Winx (2016-19). Winx is the standout George Ryder Stakes winner, the first to win the race three times on the trot with her three-peat achieved in 2018, which she then added to with a fourth in 2019 before her retirement later that year.
In 2020, Dreamforce became the first George Ryder Stakes winner in the post-Winx era improving on his third to the equine superstar the year prior. Dreamforce also returned in 2021 and was a brave runner-up to shock winner Think It Over.
After scoring an upset at 25/1 in the 2021 George Ryder Stakes, Think It Over won a host of races later that year including the $750,000 Rosehill Gold Cup (2000m).
