FYI - California Dane and Vroom Vroom are both scratched from the C.F. Orr Stakes.

It would have been interesting to see how California Dane would have raced today against such a strong Group 1 field. Apparently Lee Freedman will now either Spell California Dane or let it run the Australia Stakes at Moonee Valley next week. The Australia Stakes 1200m distance seems to be more California Dane's distance anyway, though it had been the favourite at 1400m today before being scratched.
