HORSE of the year Typhoon Tracy is primed to end the longest losing sequence of her career when she returns in Friday night's group 2 Australia Stakes at Moonee Valley, reports The Age.
It says: The five-time group 1 winner has not won for nine months but trainer Peter Moody was supremely confident yesterday that her five-race losing streak would end when she steps out against a moderate line-up in the $200,000 race.
''She's going as good as she's ever gone and I can't wait for her to come back,'' he said yesterday.
Moody said he was deeply disappointed when told by the mare's owners last spring that they did not want to continue with a Cox Plate campaign after four lead-up races.
''I'm not saying she would have beaten So You Think but she would have run some sort of race,'' he said.
Typhoon Tracy will be one of just 10 horses in Friday's 1200-metre race and looks certain to be a short-priced favourite as she has been beaten only once at Moonee Valley and once when first-up. Moody said the five-year-old would defend her wins of last season in the group 1 Orr Stakes and Futurity Stakes at Caulfield next month before going to Sydney for the group 1 mares' races, the Queen of the Turf Stakes and Coolmore Classic.
