A big week for Love You and Orlando Vici.
Love You produced a G1 winner, with Nazareth saluting in the $100,000 NZ Trotting Derby at Addington on Sunday - rating 1:59.6 for 2600m.
This gives the gelding 3 wins in 9 starts for $70,000 in earnings.
Coingratulations to breeder JA Butt; owners RV Masefield, MK Masefield, Half G Syndicate, OP Ryan, RA Butt, GA Ayers, LN Ayers, KA Neiman, CK Neiman and The Grand Slam Syndicate; and trainersRobert and Jenna Dunn.
And what an Inter Dominion Trotting Championship the son of Orlando Vici, Just Believe, has had.
He completed a clean sweep of the three rounds of heats, following up Ballarat with victories at Shepparton on Tuesday and Geelong on Saturday night.
While she had to settle for a second at Geelong, NZ-bred Love You mare Queen Elida did win a heat at Shepparton earlier in the week.
