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).

A lifetime in the industry, Chairman of our largest club, it is difficult to identify someone more suited to the role.
