Typhoon Tracy is likely to stay at home and not seek overseas options despite her third Group One success in the CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield yesterday.

The Peter Moody-trained 4-year-old mare has won three races at the highest level and eight of her 11 starts but the easy victory was her first against the males and her first at weight-for-age.

Ridden by Luke Nolen, Typhoon Tracy ($1.40 fav) sat off leader Danzylum and kicked clear in the straight for a 1 length victory over Heart Of Dreams ($6.50) with Sirmione ($81) a short head away third.

"It's nice to get that one in open company out of the way," Moody said.

"It's her first win away from mares' grade. The second and third horses are Group One weight-for-age winners so we never expected it to be easy and she's still got nice improvement off the back of that. She got a lovely run, it went as planned."

Moody said there were upwards of a dozen Group One races at 1400 to 1600 metres for Typhoon Tracy in Australia over the next three months although he hadn't yet ruled out an overseas trip for the Red Ransom mare.
