Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 30 Journalists Share Posted January 30 Ayrton’s (NZ) (Iffraaj) love affair with Caulfield is set to be pushed to the limit, with Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr set to nominate the John Dillon Stakes winner for the A$750,000 Gr.1 C.F. Orr Stakes (1400m) next Saturday (February 10). Ayrton has won six of his seven starts at Caulfield, five of them over 1400m and four with Jamie Kah aboard, with his only defeat at the track having come at the top level when sixth in the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes last November. Mr Brightside dominates betting for the race at $2 following the news Alligator Blood won’t be taking his place, with Ayrton rated $26. “He just loves Caulfield, I don’t know what it is, Caulfield, Ayrton and Jamie Kah is a good recipe,” Kent Jnr said. “We had him a bit fresh to be fair and wasn’t totally wound up, so there’s improvement to come off that break in Perth. “We are going to nominate him for the C.F. Orr, he’s not as good as Mr Brightside or Alligator Blood of course but why wouldn’t you have a look at that race, he loves that course and distance.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
