Buffering’s love affair with the Valley is set to continue after his third win in the Group 1 Moir Stakes at his favourite haunt, Moonee Valley.

He has already built up a cult following, the crowds love him to a man and he loves them, he is king pin at the Valley.

Buffering has been a great money spinner for his group of owners, he has returned $5,154, 866 in prize money from his 17 wins, and has a date on Cox Plate eve in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes over 1200 metres.

The aged gelding doesn’t accept defeat; he gives of his best at all times as was seen in winning the Moir Stakes.

He is simply a tough old gelding; he has raced in almost every state yet has a certain love affair with Moonee Valley that is where he really shines.
