Scamanda (1976) was the inaugural AJ Moir Stakes winner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imperatriz (2023) and My Gladiola (2026) are the latest AJ Moir Stakes winning mares<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She Will Reign (2017) was the first three-year-old filly to win the AJ Moir Stakes since Virage De Fortune (2005)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple AJ Moir Stakes winners:<\/strong> The Judge (1978-79), With Me (1990-91), Black Caviar (2010-11), and Buffering (2012, 2014, 2015).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buffering is the race’s sole three-time champion<\/strong> winning in 2012 before returning for back-to-back victories in 2014 and 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to him, the other most recent multiple champion <\/strong>and one of the race’s most famous winners was the undefeated mare Black Caviar who won in 2010 and 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imperatriz (2023) holds the current AJ Moir Stakes time record <\/strong>winning in 56.47 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the other more famous AJ Moir Stakes winners <\/a>is Manikato who at the time became just the second horse in Australia to surpass $1 million in stakes after his 1982 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2019 AJ Moir Stakes winner Nature Strip would go on to win a host of other top line races including the 2021 The Everest<\/a> and the 2022 King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2022 Moir Stakes winner Coolangatta<\/strong> beat home her stablemate Bella Nipotina to become the first three-year-old filly to take out the event since She Will Reign (2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 Moir Stakes winner Imperatriz ($1.65F)<\/strong> saluted as the odds-on favourite storming over the top of her rivals late to make it three-from-three at the Moonee Valley track while enjoying her sixth Group 1 success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 Moir Stakes winner Mornington Glory ($9) <\/strong>was excellent at his pet track and distance making it three straight 1000m wins at Moonee Valley after leading all-the-way from barrier one to hand trainer Gavin Bedggood his first Group 1 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2025 Moir Stakes winner was seven-year-old Snitzel gelding Baraqiel ($6) <\/strong>for trainers Leon & Troy Corstens & Will Larkin with jockey Ben Allen aboard on 58.5kg from barrier 8 to win by 0.46 lengths on a Good (4) track in a time of 0:57.82.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2026 Moir Stakes winner was grey, four-year-old I Am Invincible mare My Gladiola first-up at $9.50 <\/strong>for trainer John McArdle with jockey Jamie Mott aboard for the mare’s first Group 1 success on 56.5kg from barrier 6 to win by 0.35 lengths in a time of 57.22 seconds on a Soft (7) track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
