MELBOURNE’S most consistent weight-for-age performer of the past 12 months, Black Heart Bart added to his fan base on Saturday with an excellent win in the Group 1 CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield over 1,400 metres.

Trained by Darren Weir, the six-year-old Blackfriars gelding has run either first or second in 11 of his 12 starts for Weir. His only blemish a ninth when tested to 2,040 metres in the Cox Plate.
