  1. Rizeena (1:22.91) in 2013
  2. Miss Beatrix (1:23.10) in 2006

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? Over the past 20 renewals, if you had followed the winner of the Moyglare Stud Stakes next time out, then you would have backed a total of 5 winners. Backing all 18 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of -0.05. Before placing your bet on the 2026 Moyglare Stud Stakes, see which other runners today are being backed on the racing predictions page.

The runner that holds the record over the past 20 renewals for the slowest time in the race was set in the 2009 renewal when Termagant from Kevin Prendergast under the guidance of Declan McDonogh, won in a time of 1:35.10, whilst at the other end of the spectrum, Rizeena, trained by Clive Brittain and ridden by James Doyle set the quickest time of 1:22.91 in the 2013 renewal.

What the expert says...
A top-three finish in the Debutante Stakes before coming here can prove significant; ten winners since 2005 have come here directly from that race, with all but one of those finishing in the top three.
