Sheza Alibi Golden Eagle racing campaign

Overview

The Australian Turf Club released nominations for the 2026 Golden Eagle, a $10 million race for four-year-olds at Randwick Racecourse. Sheza Alibi, a mare trained by Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman, emerged as the early favorite among 112 entries.

Following a victory in the Makybe Diva Stakes on September 12, trainers decided to enter Sheza Alibi in the Group 1 Might And Power Stakes at Caulfield. This move serves as conditioning for the mare’s first attempt at a 2000-metre distance and provides a three-week preparation period before she contests the 1500-metre Golden Eagle on October 31. Trainer Peter Moody stated that avoiding the Toorak Handicap prevents the horse from carrying excessive weight and that gaining experience at the longer distance will offer better future racing opportunities.
