- 1st: No. 1 Caballus ($5.50)
- 2nd: No. 9 Pereille
- 3rd: No. 12 Cosmic Fire
Winning Margin: 3.02 lengths
Winning Time: 1:07.84
Caballus ($5.50) stamped himself as a rising sprint star with a brilliant victory in the 2025 Group 3 George Moore Stakes results at Doomben in Brisbane on Saturday. Trained by Bjorn Baker and ridden by Tommy Berry, the five-year-old son of I Am Invincible relished a drop in grade after his lead-up eight to Giga Kick in Flemington’s Group 1 Champions Sprint and proved too strong despite carrying the equal 60kg topweight. After exploding from his wide barrier nine draw, he cruised across to take up the lead without pressure, and from there was never headed, powering clear to score a commanding three-length victory over Pereille.

Held under quality handicap conditions, the George Moore Stakes is raced over 1200m and offers $200,000 in total prize money. The race currently takes place on the same day as Perth’s $1.5 million Northerly Stakes (1800m).
The George Moore Stakes is open to contention by horses of all ages and sexes. It shares a race program with two other black-type events with the Listed Mode Plate (1200m) for three-year-old fillies at set weights and the Listed Phelan Ready Stakes (1100m) also held on the same day.
Some runners use the event as a first-up race after a spell in the paddock while others might be racing off the back of a spring carnival down south in NSW and Victoria.
Horses that run well in the George Moore Stakes field may head to Sydney for a shot at the recently updated Group 2 $2 million The Ingham (1600m) – formerly known as the Villiers Stakes – later in the summer at Royal Randwick.
The George Moore Stakes form was recently franked with the 2021 winner Zoustyle returning the following season to place in a host of good races including his 2022 Group 1 Moir Stakes third in Melbourne. The 2021 runner-up Baller meanwhile went on to win the Group 2 Moreton Cup (1200m) at Eagle Farm in the winter of 2022 and run third in that spring’s Group 1 Champions Sprint (1200m) at Flemington.
The 2024 Geroge Moore Stakes winner Hidden Wealth franked the form that summer taking out the $1 million Magic Millions QTIS at the Gold Coast in January, 2025.
The 2025 Ladbrokes George Moore Stakes ran on Saturday December 6, 2025 at Doomben Racecourse and was won in commanding all-the-way fashion by the Bjorn Baker trained Caballus ($5.50) who saluted by three-lengths.

2025 Ladbrokes George Moore Stakes Tips
Stay tuned for our insider George Moore Stakes 2025 Tips on the Brisbane summer showdown this December.
To Win: No. 2 Hidden Wealth
A number of livewire chances in the George Moore but I’ve landed on Tony Gollan’s last start winner and the defending champion HIDDEN WEALTH (1) who is drawn for a dream run from gate one.
Just three horses have won multiple editions of the event, but none have gone back-to-back since three-time hero Mirraben (1987-89). That said, HIDDEN WEALTH ticks plenty of boxes to be the next.
He’s a two-time winner from three runs at Doomben and boasts a lovely 1200m record (10:4-1-0).
The six-year-old son of Better Than Ready resumed on November 22 at the Sunny Coast over 1000m and was strong fresh winning first-up.
Natural improvement has him fit and ready for the rise back up in class and grade with the extra 200m to suit.
A Group 2 runner-up last time in, this galloper has plenty of class but does go up to 60kg as the equal top-weight which is the only query.
Angela Jones sticks in the saddle and she’s racing well.
Expect him to hit the front without challenge from the draw and go all-the-way.

George Moore Stakes History
The George Moore Stakes was previously known as the Summer Stakes. The George Moore Stakes has traditionally been a part of a trio of group races that form the Queensland summer racing series. The other two are the Group 3 Vo Rogue Plate (1300m) and the Group 3 BJ McLachlan Stakes (1200m).
It was inaugurated in 1979 as a Group 3 race but was demoted to listed status in 1983. In 2000, the George Moore Stakes was reinstated as a Group 3 race.
Throughout the years, the George Moore Stakes has gone by a variety of names. From its inception to 1986 the race was called the XXXX Stakes. It has also been named the Thornhill Park Stakes, LJ Williams Quality Handicap and AWA Stakes. Between 2000 and 2006, as well as several years previously, it was called the Summer Stakes.
Notable George Moore Stakes winners include Princess Reichen (1979), Mirraben (1987, 88, 89), Chief De Beers (1994, 97), Takeover Target (2005), and Lucky Hussler (2013).
