The George Moore Stakes is a Group 3 race run under Quality conditions for the sprinters at Doomben conducted by the Brisbane Racing Club.
The George Moore Stakes is run over 1200m. It was first run in 1979 and was won by Princess Reichen.
The race is the start of the summer carnival in Queensland.
The George Moore Stakes has been at 1200m and was a Group 3 initially to 1982 then back to Listed through to 2000 before being upgraded again.
In 2016 it was run at Eagle Farm but most runnings have been at Doomben.
The race has had numerous name changes but ever since 2008 it has been the George Moore.
