Leading trainer Peter Moody revealed not running Typhoon Tracy in last year's Cox Plate was one of his biggest regrets in racing after she landed her sixth Group One victory in the CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield.

Moody had trained the reigning Horse of the Year for the 2010 Cox Plate at Moonee Valley but she dodged the race, won for the second successive year by So You Think.

Connections had told Moody that they wanted to instead run her in the Myer Classic (1600m) at Flemington a week later, a race in which she finished a well-beaten second to Sacred Choice on an unsuitably heavy track.

The Red Ransom mare, sent out $2.20 favourite on Saturday, ended a six-run losing sequence when she made it back-to-back Orr Stakes (1400m) victories.

With regular rider Luke Nolen up, Typhoon Tracy sat outside race leader Danzylum (fourth) before sprinting clear in the straight.

Heart Of Dreams ($13), who was also runner-up in the race last year, made a late charge to go down by a half-head with Ortensia ($11) 1-1/2 lengths away third.

"The satisfaction was for myself. I was doubting my own ability to get her back, I wasn't doubting her ability," Moody said.

"I really regret her not running in the Cox Plate. That's one of my biggest regrets in racing not giving her that chance because she has developed into a one-pacer.

"Maybe instead of an All-Aged Stakes (1400m) you might see her in a Doomben Cup (2020m).

"It's great to see her back on top. It was hard fought, she toughed it out, she was there to be beaten but she stood up today.

"I'm very proud to see her back in that position where she belongs.

"It's hard to say she's as good as she was 12 months ago, 18 months ago, but at home she's giving me a feel that she still wants to be there.

"She's working a treat, you look at her in the yard, there wasn't a horse presented better than her, so she's in great shape so upwards on onwards."

Moody said he would now have to decide whether Typhoon Tracy shoots for back-to-back Futuritys or looks for a 1600m option as the Futurity, run at Caulfield on February 26, has reverted to 1400m after being run over 1600m since 2006.

He said the Queen Of The Turf Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill, a race she won last autumn, was certainly an option again.

"Like I said earlier in the week, she's not going to go around for the sake of going around. As long as she's in the form that we know she should be in, we'll keep pushing on," the trainer said of Typhoon Tracy who has won 11 of her 20 starts and more than $2.4 million in stakemoney.

Nolen said hopefully the gutsy mare can go on winning Group Ones.

"Instead of it being a sit and sprint, we dragged it out from just past the 600 metres and played to her strength a little bit," he said.

"She was there to be beaten, but she's a courageous mare and winners win."
