REPLAY: LOVES ONLY YOU (JPN) wins the $2 Million Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Del Mar! Congrats to all of the connections! J: Yuga Kawada T: Yoshito Yahagi O: DMM Dream Club Co. B: Northern Farm
WOW!!!!! What a turn of foot she has!! Congrats all 'round!! A Sunday Silence grandbaby!! :D I always love to see his name in a pedigree. Japan knew what they were doing when they took him!
I think this victory means not only the advance of racehorses bred in Japan and its horsemen but also a tribute to her great ancestors, Sunday Silence (grandsire) on her sire line, and Miesque(great-granddam) on her female line, which won the BC races of the past.
*Congratulations Japan:* THAT was something to watch. What a turn of foot LOY has! Even more reason why I regret not paying as much attention to the turf races this year, and will definitely do so for next season. 😂👍🔥🔥🐴
Warlike Goddess was fabulous, too, coming from way back. Thought she'd win, but it was nice to see Japan make their first mark on the Breeder's Cup. We need more competition from around the world to keep these races interesting.
