“But it’s very special to have Logan involved and it be on our hometrack. “It’s a track I have been at now for over 40 years now so there is a lot of history here. “Fortunately, I think he likes Cranbourne as well, so we have a lot of boxes ticked. “I am rapt to be able to support the race and rapt Moonee Valley gave me such generous terms.” Moonee Valley Racing Club’s 2024 slot holder Baraqiel finished third in The Meteorite after winning the McEwen Stakes. This year he went on to win the Group 1 Charter Keck Cramer Moir Stakes at The Valley. Jigsaw has shown a distinct liking for not only The Valley where he won the Group 2 Australia Stakes in 2023 but Cranbourne as well where he has twice won the Apache Cat Classic. “He does like a rail and he is particularly potent when he’s on the fence and he loves a corner so both Moonee Valley and Cranbourne play to his strengths,” Alderson explained. “He is a very balanced horse, so he gets around the corner without losing too much ground which is difficult for a horse traveling at that speed to do. “We are happy to go this way, it’s a great initiative and great prizemoney.” Jigsaw is the first runner announced for the $1 million Meteorite to be held on Ladbrokes Cranbourne Cup Day (November 22) with the MVRC also represented with a slot in the $ 1 million Supernova on Ladbrokes Pakenham Cup Day (December 13).
