Nanneella harness racing trainer Col Godden had a good week, training winners at both Shepparton and Bendigo.
Godden produced pacer Sayitaintso to score his third win on the Shepparton track and two wins in his last three starts when he saluted at last Sunday’s meeting.
The four-year-old Rock With Joe gelding put up a tough performance to account for the Brian Crossland-trained Bee Gee Cee and Treacherous Times.
Purchased by his current trainer after winning at Kilmore in May, Sayitaintso had four runs in Queensland for Godden and chalked up a win at Albion Park before returning to Victoria.
He saluted first up on his return on August 22, won again on the track two starts later on September 16 and after a seventh at his next start completed the Shepparton treble on Sunday.
Sayitaintso was trained by Michael Stanley and Luke Stapleton before switching to the Godden stables and has a career record of seven wins and four minor placings from 28 starts.
Godden had another winner at Wednesday night’s Bendigo meeting when Sweet Mila Jean won on her Australian debut.
The Sweet Lou three-year-old, who was having just her third race start after running places in her previous two starts in New Zealand, led from pillar to post.
