Stay tuned for our insider George Ryder Stakes 2023 Tips on the million-dollar autumn clash this season.
There’s no value in the Godolphin gun Anamoe, but he is also impossible to bet against in this year’s George Ryder Stakes. The eight-time Group 1 winner took out the Rosehill Guineas on this day as a three-year-old last year and looks primed for another big Slipper Day victory. He is two-from-two this prep with his latest start producing a perfectly timed Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes victory over the mile. Third-up and fit at 1500m he will by flying. First run at Rosehill since the Guineas 12 months ago, but he’s got an ace strike-rate at the track (5:2-2-1). Even from the wide alley (11) he’s very hard to knock.
The George Ryder Stakes field often draws a capacity field of middle-distance weight-for-age performers. The winner of the George Ryder Stakes receives ballot exempt entry into the Doncaster Mile and this is one of the reasons the race always draws such a strong field. However, the George Ryder Stakes is always a strong race in its own right and with $1 million in prizemoney is set to feature the best milers from right around Australia.
The 2023 George Ryder Stakes field is released on the Wednesday of race week and will be published in full below.
The George Ryder Stakes 2023 final field is now out with James Cummings’ eight-time Group 1 winner Anamoe heading the line-up as the odds-on favourite to continue his winning streak this time in.

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.
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).
The 2023 George Ryder Stakes was won by Godolphin’s odds-on favourite Anamoe, winner of the previous year’s Cox Plate.
