The French stallion Orlando Vici, a nine-time Group winner and a member of harness racing’s Haras Des Trotteurs’ sire roster, left six winners in the space of nine days!
Undoubtedly, the highlight was the brilliant last-to-first win of Adelle NZ in the Group 2 $30,000 John Slack Memorial Trotters Cup at Ballarat. It was her 11th success and took her earnings over the $100,000 mark.
The talented Orlando Vici three-year-old Cravache Dor made it two for two this season and four from 10 lifetime starts when he streeted his rivals at Kilmore.
Other recent Orlando Vici winners have been Brandlo Prince (Cranbourne), Ollivici NZ (Geelong), a ‘new’ winner in Aristotle (Kilmore) and Orlando’s Gift (Globe Derby Park).
Orlando Vici boasts the amazing siring score of 17 individual winners from 18 Australian bred starters and they have averaged $45,000!
Love You sired important winners in both hemispheres recently.
Rattle My Cage downed a top field in the $US250,000 Graduate Series Final for four-year-old trotters at The Meadowlands, New Jersey in a blistering 1:51, while Liason took out the Winter Cup at Alexandra Park, Auckland.
Love You also sired the three-year-old winner at Auckland in One Thirtythree and the four-year-old Maestro (Bendigo).
Revelstoke, a three-year-old filly by Love’s You great son Quaker Jet, maintained her devastating form with a career-best 1:58.6 win at Bendigo, while Afterburn, a product of The Best Madrik and one of the first crop of the Coktail Jet horse, posted his fourth success at Wyndham, NZ.
