The CF Orr Stakes kicks off Group 1 racing during the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival in February.
The CF Orr Stakes is a Group 1 race, the first of the calendar year, held at Melbourne’s Caulfield Racecourse in early to mid February. This Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival event is a weight-for-age race run over 1400m and is worth $500,000 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 six winners from 2011-2020 including champion mare Black Caviar (2012) who did the double.
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 2021 CF Orr Stakes takes place on Saturday February 6, 2021.
