Love You star duo Queen Elida and Ultimate Stride are developing quite a rivalry.
Queen Elida squared the ledger between the NZ-bred pair in the Lenin Free-For-All at Melton on Saturday night - leading home quinella and reversing the placings they filled in their previous clash.
The Brent Lilley-trained Queen Elida is now on the cusp of taking her career earnings past $500,000, with 23 wins from 41 starts.
Love You is running at almost a 50 per cent strike rate with winners to runners in Australia this season.
Sitting second on the Australian trotting sires’ list, Love You has 21 individual winners from 43 starters.
Orlando Fra is sixth with 12 winners from 18 starters.
Meanwhile, two sons of two of France’s all-time greats which we have brought to Australia - En Solitaire Fra and Dreamcatcher Swe - are making the most of limited opportunities in Australia.
Each sired a winner at Maryborough on Friday, 3yo gelding DEEJAY DEX (Dreamcatcher) and 3yo filly SISTA EVARISTA (En Solitaire).
Dreamcatcher (by Love You) has had 2 winners from 4 Australian-bred foals to race. En Solitaire (Ready Cash) has had only Sista Evarista to the races in Australia. She now has 2 wins.
