HDT Weekly Wrap | 28 May 2024

Newly crowned NZ Rowe Cup champion Just Believe has become the Australasian flagbearer for his French sire Orlando Vici.

Orlando Vici boasts a stunning strike in Australia with 25 winners from 26 starters.

While Just Believe is No.1, continue to watch the progress of NSW-based Royal Dan.

The five-year-old is lightly raced.

He only made his race debut in May last year and has nine wins in 17 starts.

Royal Dan has really come of age this season with seven of his wins - the latest three in in a row at Menangle.

Used To Me Fra progeny continues to make an impact with another two winners the past week.

We’re not too far away from some announcements on the HDT stallion roster for the upcoming breeding season.
