The Bold Eagle filly Eagle Eye Sherry firmly clinched her claim to being the best three-year-old filly of the season in Sweden when she won the $360,000 Swedish Breeders Crown Final at Sundbyholm racetrack.
Starting from the pole, the filly dominated the classic leading from the outset and running out the 1-5/16th mile trip in a 1:56.4 mile rate.
Earlier in the season Eagle Eye Sherry captured the $600,000 Swedish Oaks at Solvalla.
Love You, a leading member of the Haras Des Trotteurs’ sire roster, sired important winners on both sides of the Tasman recently.
The bonny Love You two-year-old filly Queen Elida NZ took out a heat of the Breeders Crown at Maryborough, her second success from three starts on Australian spoil, while comeback trotter Dreamcatcher, who will stand at Haras Des Trotteurs in 2021, completed back-to-back successes at Kilmore.
To round out a big weekend for Love You, his three-year-old daughter Wanna Snuggle was a dashing end-to-end winner by 5-1/2 lengths at Alexandra Park, Auckland.
Wanna Snuggle provided the second leg of a winning double for Haras Des Trotteurs at Auckland’s ‘ribbon of light’ with the Quaker Jet mare Expensive Crumpet notching her third success on the back of a flying 57.9 seconds closing half.
Haras Des Trotteurs’ emerging, young sire Used To Me was represented by the impressive Breeders Crown two-year-old heat winner Dont Care, who posted his second win from seven starts. The gelding is a member of Used To Me’s third crop which also produced the Melton two-year-old winner Surprise To Me.
Orlando Storm, a four-year-old mare and one of the brilliant first crop of Orlando Vici, won her fourth race at Canberra. Orlando Vici has left 10 winners and a placegetter from 11 foals from his first racing crop.
