| STAKES SUCCESS FOR I'MLOVIN'YA
Brilliant 2YO filly I'mlovin'ya ran right up to her excellent first up run in the Blue Diamond Preview for Fillies Jan 26 despite having no luck, to improve markedly off that run and record a brilliant win in the LISTED Talindert Stakes at Flemington on Saturday Feb 19. Missing the start and always well back at Caulfield on debut, the filly recorded excellent closing sections to run a very brave 6th beaten 3 lengths and really put the writing on the wall for her next run. That next run was the Talindert, and a 10 out of 10 ride by Damian Lane who had I'mlovin'ya perfectly positioned after 400 meters tracking the race favourite Waltz On By all of the way was the key to success. It was clear at the 600 meter mark that Damian Lane had a lapful of horse under him and all that he had to do was to extricate off the back of Waltz On By to figure prominently in the finish and that he did. I'mlovin'ya let down with a terrific sprint over the final 200 meters to overhaul Waltz On By on the line by three quarters of a length who to be fair gave a good kick when challenged with the Michael, Wayne and John Hawkes galloper Lambda finishing third. It was an important win for I'mlovin'ya who is now herself a Stakes winner and joins Immortal Love as another Stakes winner from one of our foundation Broodmares in Loveyamadly who from only 4 foals to race has produced 2 Stakes winners, a City winner (Bella Amore) and a multiple winner (Classic Gaming) from only 4 foals to have raced. Loveyamadly is clearly doing the job at stud and has a gorgeous So You Think filly on the ground and is in foal to exciting first crop Coolmore Stallion King's Legacy. I'mlovin'ya will avoid the temptation of chasing Blue Diamond glory and will have a lovely nice spell now where there are a plethora of quality GROUP and LISTED Fillies races that await her in the Spring, commencing with the GROUP 3 Quezette in mid-August! For the record I'mlovin'ya has had just the 2 starts for a Listed win and $101,240 already banked with a career that will likely see the best of her in her upcoming 3YO career!
