Sam Pritchard-Gordon has prepared A Lotta Love to win three metropolitan-class races in Victoria this season.

On Saturday, the trainer will send the mare’s younger sibling Love In Vain to the races for the first time to run in the $150,000 VOBIS Gold Ingot (1200m) at Caulfield.

A $75,000 yearling by Skilled out of Sadlers Brigg, Love In Vain is a half-sister to four-year-old A Lotta Love who won at Ballarat in November, Flemington in December and figured in a dead-heat at Mornington earlier this month.

“We bought her off the back of A Lotta Love,” Pritchard-Gordon said.

“She’s a different style of filly and we’re hoping in time she might get out over a bit more ground.”

Love In Vain is also a half-sister to another horse Pritchard-Gordon trained, Lord Da Vinci, who has been sold and will do his future racing in Tasmania.

Love In Vain is at $26 for Saturday’s juvenile race.

“She’s going to be a nicer three-year-old, which is what you’d expect with her breeding,” Pritchard-Gordon said.

“She will benefit from the run. There’s no expectations of necessarily winning, but she won’t disgrace herself.

“I think from a good gate she’ll land in behind the speed. She’s bred to run a mile or mile-and-a-quarter, so it may be a little bit sharp for her but it’s a nice track to allow her to wind up and finish off the race.”

Pritchard-Gordon said fellow two-year-old, the Group-placed Soviet Secret, had gone for a spell after her fourth in the Percy Sykes Stakes in Sydney last Saturday.
