Moment Of Change made it back-to-back Group One wins in the $500,000 Futurity Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday.
Replicating his victory in the CF Orr Stakes two weeks ago, Moment Of Change made all the running to deny his weight-for-age rivals.
In doing so, the Peter Moody-trained sprinter kept an unblemished record from four starts over the Caulfield 1400m course.
“He’s in great shape … he’s in peak form,” Moody said.
“The horse just keeps lining up. He’s a tough bugger, sound and he’s been doing it for three or four seasons now.”
Starting $3.20, Moment Of Change defeated the fast-finishing but luckless Sertorius with Darley veteran Pinwheel ($18) filling the minor placing.
Sertorius missed the start before taking a lot of ground off the winner.
