EQUINICS – Race 19: GEORGE MOORE CUP
Welcome to this review of the Equinics 2026 race, the GEORGE MOORE CUP. A very competitive field for this Equinics race: One EOY tag, five Graded winner tags, six Stakes winner tags, and a couple of promising Allowance winners. Scroll to the bottom for my picks for this race.

This article was created with the horses in entry order (you can see a picture of the entry list HERE). The link to the race page for odds and additional information is above. On to the preview!
PP10 GEODESIC PATH is coming off her first graded win at the DE track after five straight 10f races (116sp). Out of hall of fame, EOY, G1 rated STREET ETIQUETTE (producing five graded winners and a descendant of 2003 stakes winner MAJOR ACTOR), this mare is quite the pace setter in her career. A high quality, history spanning entry from the mtk76 stable for THE MECCA residency. Quite the pacesetter! The favorite of this race.
PP09 CHESSBOXING is the plano10 stable entry for BRITISH AND EUROPEAN RACING CLUB. She had a quad streak of wins in 2025 (as well as winning six of eight races for that year – worst position was third place). A bit of a rough time in 2026, but had a nice win in her allowance prep race (112sp). Appears to be a closer very often from the back of the bus.
PP13 INTO KASH is the kashbarn entry representing the EAST-WEST CONNECTION residency. Seemed to hit her stride last august and had a string of fine stakes performances at 11.5-14f. This past april she won her first stakes race at 10f and followed that up with a G2 2nd place finish. In her last race she had a step back speedwise, but as a closer her jockey may have just shut her down as GEODESIC PATH was running away with the race. They meet again here.
PP07 PICTURES CRAZY is the G1 and EOY award winning mare entered by the asrcurlin stable for the ORPHAN RACING residency. While her last win was in May 2025 at the 10f G2 Beach Day Stakes at the FL track, she has been competitive in her last three races placing third in graded company. Appears to be a closer throughout most of her impressive career.
PP04 HYLEY WINTERS is the beerkeg5 stable entry representing MIDAS. A G2 11f winner from this past January (after multiple stakes wins at 11f-13f), she fell off in recent graded races at 13f and 14f. Cutting back to 10f as a first time runner at that distance, it will be interesting to see her performance. She has been a pace setter in several of her winning races.
PP11 OUTBACK HALMA is representing the EUROPEAN UNION RACING ORGANIZATION from the outback001 stable. This mare has had stakes wins from 8.5f-9f with very good speed numbers, but has had some trouble during her 5th year. She stalked in her most recent win at the end of last season, but appears to like being a pack runner/closer most of her career. In her last three races, she has appeared to still be gaining ground at the finish. This may bode well for her debut at 10f.
PP06 CURLIN HDMI the ELITE RACING CLUB 6yo entry from the harrylanlow50 stable has been establishing form at 10f since the year 2023. Coming off of her first stakes win in her last start which occurred this past February, she has set the pace or stalked most of her career. The good news is that the S/O orders didn’t affect the entry in this 5% precipitation race! She is one of two 6yo’s in the race. It has been a long break from racing…
PP01 VICTORIA REGIA haak15’s LATINOS DEL MUNDO entry is on a three race win streak most recently with her first stakes win in the Clasificatorias a las Equinics Stakes race (two races at 10f). Can she streak to the quad? A strong allowance winner that failed on previous upgrades to stakes races, she appears to settle into the middle of the pack more often in her winning races.
PP08 NEON FOREVER the FLORIDA RACING CLUB entry out of former stakes winner SHACKLETTE ACRES (with two G3 prodigy) is from the neontraining stable. She is cutting back to 10f from a recent troubled G1 outing at 14f. When firing on all cylinders she appears to be a stalker in the 2nd position (though she has lead wire to wire once in her career at 11.5f).
PP03 BRANIFF is the entry for DOWN UNDER RACING from veeman35. Her last win was at 9f in June 2025 at the G3 Denny Tario Oaks, since then she has spent much of her time in 11f+ races and appeared to fall off at the finish. In her only other 10f race she appeared to hang on a little stronger in a tough field, so it will be interesting to see how she does in this race.
PP02 NEVER LOSE LOVE is the qwikvett stable entry for UNIVERSAL RACING CLUB. One of the two fewest total race counts in the field at thirteen, this allowance winning filly started out on turf and appeared to find her way once she switched to dirt. Her most recent race in March showed a good speed number and gaining ground in a graded 8.5f race. Might be hitting her prime as a 4yo at a good time.
PP12 AWESOME MAYRESE is the sremel73 stable entry for EMPIRE STATE RACING. The only former claim runner in the race, this Twitch Champions Cup alumni has hit her highest speed numbers as a 10f racer (winning her last 10f ALW race with a 108 speed number). Looking forward to seeing how she does in the race. The longshot of this race.
PP05 SEEK TO SEEK is the bigeasy2 stable entry for NORTHWEST RACING CIRCUIT and one of two 6yo’s in this race. This mare has been on a bit of a break recently: only three 7-7.7f turf races in the past year with an outstanding win in last November’s Ripple Arsenic Turf Mare Sprint Stakes. Her last dirt win was in 2024 in a 9f ALW with a 107 speed number. Generally appears to like to hang out with the cool kids at the back of the bus (and occasionally perks up to push her way to the front).
