2014 George Moore Stakes Final Field & Barrier Draw

The Group 3 George Moore Stakes (1200m) is the sole feature race running at Doomben Racecourse this Saturday.

Just one of the 13 nominated horses failed to declare for the final field on Wednesday, Flying Riddle, leaving a final field of 12 sprinters.

The Desleigh Forster-trained Adebisi continues to headline the field after gaining a start from barrier seven with Antony Allen in the saddle.

Adebisi won the 2011 George Moore Stakes and has returned three years later to reclaim his title. The seven-year-old gelding has proven less than successful at the highest level of racing over the years but is in good form following a win at Doomben in September in an open sprint race over 1100m before finishing runner-up to Rocky King in the XXXX Handicap (1000m) on November 14.

The gelding will carry the top weight of 59kg in the George Moore Stakes, which is up to five kilograms more than his rivals.

Adebisi will have the chance to enact his revenge on Rocky King on Saturday since the five-year-old gelding also features in the George Moore Stakes field. He has drawn two gates wider than Adebisi in barrier nine with Michael Cahill in the saddle.

Both Tony Gollan and Robert Heathcote are set to deliver dual-pronged attacks on the race, saddling two runners each.

Gollan has luck on his side after Rocket To Glory scored the inside run from barrier one and Someday will start from barrier three.

Six-year-old gelding Rocket To Glory finished third in the Listed Keith Noud Quality (1200m) last time out and will be partnered by Tegan Harrison once again while Listed Brisbane Handicap (1600m) winner Someday, who finished a neck behind his stable mate in fourth place, will be ridden by Timothy Bell.

Robert Heathcote’s Excellantes will have to overcome a wide start from barrier 12 with Ryan Wiggins in the saddle while Riva De Lago will jump from barrier eight with Jeff Lloyd.

Keith Noud Quality winner Time To Plunder has also accepted for the race and will get a great start to his run from barrier two with Larry Cassidy to ride.

The Group 3 Fred Best Classic (1350m) runner-up Into The Red will carry the minimum weight of 54kg as he jumps from barrier five. The Kelso Wood-trained horse will be ridden by Jim Byrne for the second time in a row.
