Orion strikes career win #3 for Moody

18 May 2015

O’Reilly 4yo Orion struck the third win of his career at Caulfield on Saturday.

Trained by Peter Moody, Orion won the 1600m contest under Daniel Stackhouse with a length to spare over Refulgent.

The well-related bay gelding is raced by his breeders David and Angelia Paykel, along with Mrs E J Radich.

Orion is out of the unraced Bertolini mare Alzira, who is a daughter of the Champion 3YO filly in Australasia in 1995-96 and NZ Filly of the Year ALACRITY(Grosvenor).

The Corner with Garry Chittick

Mary and I had a great weekend. As usual, Taupo Race Club put on a couple of days that encourage you to go to the races. The lead-in to the day was an hour or so at the iconic Yacht Club Bar – an easy place to be, perched above the lake: wine, beer and pizzas provided. A chance to meet and greet, bearing in mind the visitors that make the effort to attend.
