The Ladbrokes CF Orr Stakes is a Group 1 race, the first of the calendar year, held at Ladbrokes Park Hillside (Sandown) in early to mid February. This Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival event is a weight-for-age race run over 1400m and is worth $750,000 in prize money.
The ideal lead-up race into the CF Orr Stakes field is Moonee Valley’s Group 2 Australia Stakes (1200m) that produced seven winners from 2011-2021 including champion mare Black Caviar (2012) who did the double and Streets Of Avalon (2021) who was the last horse to win both races.
The next-up option for most CF Orr Stakes horses is a return to the same track and distance a fortnight later for the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m), a double last completed by Black Heart Bart (2017).
The 2022 CF Orr Stakes form was franked with the winner Tofane running a next-up third in the Futurity Stakes. She also went on to place second in the Group 1 All Aged Stakes that autumn behind Cascadian who had run third in the CF Orr earlier in his prep. Cascadian further franked the form with a successful spring campaign later that year.
The 2022 Orr Stakes runner-up Lighthouse meanwhile went on to finish second in the Group 1 Canterbury Stakes next start before her Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) victory in Sydney.
The 2023 Ladbrokes CF Orr Stakes took place on Saturday February 11, 2023 at Ladbrokes Park Hillside (Sandown) and was won on protest by the original runner-up Jacquinot ($4) who was elevated to first over Gentleman Roy.

- To Win: #10 Jacquinot ($3.80 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Great edition of the Orr with plenty of returning stars including Cox Plate runner-up I’m Thunderstruck and in-form runners with the fitness edge. Already one run down is Jacquinot, the Rubick colt kicking off his latest campaign with a gutsy win over his own age in the Group 3 Manfred Stakes with 59.5kg. Group 1 Golden Rose winner over the 1400m in Sydney last prep, he’s got the benefit of the run and will enjoy coming back to 55.5kg here against the older runners. He needs to go to another level, but was so brave in the $15 million The Everest when fifth only 1.5 lengths beaten when he last took on an open-age field. Gun gate (4) and Damian Lane stays on. Can win again.

CF Orr Stakes History
Two horses have managed to win the CF Orr Stakes three consecutive times, Vo Rogue from 1988 to 1990 and Manikato from 1979 to 1981.
From 1925, when The Night Patrol won the first CF Orr Stakes, until 1992 the event possessed Group 2 status. Between 1925 and 1942, the CF Orr Stakes was a weight-for-age race with penalties however this was then changed to handicap conditions until 1945.
Originally an eight furlong race (approx. 1600m); the CF Orr Stakes also underwent various location changes. Between 1925 and 1940, the race was held at Williamstown Racecourse. In the 1940s, it was switched between Moonee Valley and Flemington and in 1966 and 1996, it took place at Sandown Racecourse.
Eight three-year-olds have won the CF Orr Stakes with Alabama Express (2020), the colt emulating his sire Redoute’s Choice (2000) from 20 years earlier, followed by protest winner Jacquinot (2023) the two most recent.
There was drama in the 2023 C.F. Orr Stakes, run at Sandown Hillside, with Gentleman Roy first past the post before being relegated to second after a successful protest by the colt Jacquinot who was elevated into first.
