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).

Super Seth 3YO remains unbeaten

Puntin, trained by Bjorn Baker, maintained his unbeaten record with an effortless win at Moruya. The son of Super Seth stepped up to 1400 metres, dominating older rivals to win by four lengths. Bred by GSA Bloodstock, Puntin hails from a stellar pedigree featuring Group winners Shania Dane and Scintillation.
