More Vicbred winners

Race 9: Melton Park, VicBred Finals, Saturday 16-9-2023 Rock N Roll Heaven Vicbred Super Series (4yo Mares) Final (Group 1) Winner: Amore Vita (3) Trainer: Emma Stewart; Driver: Chris Alford Race Distance: 2,240 metres, Mile Rate: 1.54.2 photography: Stuart McCormick
Amore Vita became just the second female pacer to complete a Vicbred clean sweep when she backed up her wins at two and three with success in the final for four-year-old pacing mares at Tabcorp Park last Saturday night.
It gave champion reinsman Chris Alford a Group 1 double at Melton after he had previously saluted with Gary and Debbie Quinlan’s Sahara Breeze in the three-year-old fillies’ showdown.
“It’s great that she can join Maajida as the only mares that have won the two, three and fours,” Alford said.
“She maybe was a little bit flat from last week – she ran super – and just sort of felt a bit doughy tonight, but that might have just been because she was in front. She might have just been waiting for them a bit, getting a bit smart.”
