Cup winner by Orlando Vici

The French horse Orlando Vici, one of the Haras Des Trotteurs’ sire roster and who is in second position on the Australian trotting sires premiership with only a dozen starters, was represented by another cup winner in Brandlo Prince during the Easter racing in Victoria.

Brandlo Prince, a member of Orlando Vici’s amazing first crop, overcame a 30 metre handicap to effortlessly win the Warragul Trotters Cup, his 15th success and lifted his stake tally to almost $220,000.

Other recent winners by Orlando Vici have been Adelle NZ (Albion Park), Belltopper Boy (1:59.7, Bendigo) and the three-year-old Shaq The Anvil (Ballarat).

Champion sire Love You sired important winners in three different countries over the holiday weekend.

In Australia, Love You was represented by the brilliant 1:59 Bendigo winner Aroha Koe, Meadowvalley Lover (Kilmore) and Luvaflair (Pinjarra), while in NZ, he sired the winners Con Grazia Love (Cambridge Raceway) and Simone Lindenny (Wyndham).

Jimmy Ferro BR, a German bred son of Love You, recorded the fastest mile in Scandinavia this year when won at the Farjestad track in Sweden in a sharp 1:52.

Village Mystic, a Group 1 winning son of Love You, sired the Addington winner Mystic Max, now the winner of almost $120,000, while The Best Madrik left his third winner from only four foals in NZ in Play Footsie, who scored at Manawatu.
