An interesting week for some stallions which have had relatively low profiles when on the Haras Des Trotteurs roster.
There winners for The Best Madrik Fra and En Solitaire Fra.
En Solitaire has had only two Australian-bred starters for two winners, and it was 4yo mare Sista Everista which brought up her fourth career win.
2yo gelding Farrokh gave The Best Madrik a fifth individual winner to keep his 100% Australian winning strike rate intact.
Group 1 producing sire Used To Me provided the highlight with a double at Maryborough on November 20, also going with 1.7m of a treble.
His winners Against The Bridle and Dossier were both bred by and are raced by Leigh Graham, and trained by Ross Graham.
They are out of out of half-sister Sister Of Sonoko and Sonoko.
