Love could be a filly good enough to conquer all. On her way to a date in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe this fall, she races for the first time in nearly two months Thursday in the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks. Love was a strong odds-on favorite Monday with British bookmakers before the composition of the Yorkshire Oaks was finalized Tuesday. One horse she won’t face is Enable, with trainer John Gosden waiting for a different time, a different place, to send his 5-year-old mare into a battle with Love. Gosden could try Love with Frankly Darling, but neither that filly nor any other was a match for Love in the Epsom Oaks, which Love won by nine lengths. Love’s Oaks romp over Epsom’s turning, unusual 1 1/2-mile trip came after she won the one-mile, straight course English 1000 Guineas at Newmarket by 4 1/4 lengths. Only two fillies this millennium, Kazzia in 2002 and Minding in 2016, pulled the Guineas-Oaks double. Winning both poses such a challenge because of their divergent demands, but Love, following a commendable if less-than-spectacular 2-year-old campaign, enters the second half of 2020’s coronavirus-interrupted flat-racing season looking like a star. By Galileo, Love is trained by Aidan O’Brien and will be ridden by Ryan Moore, and enters the 1 1/2 -mile Yorkshire Oaks the early favorite to win the Arc. Three-year-old fillies get a vast weight break from older horses in the Arc and consequently have captured four of the last 12 renewals. With the O’Brien-trained Magical set to tackle males Wednesday in the Juddmonte International, the Yorkshire Oaks will mainly – if not entirely – be filled with 3-year-old fillies. Besides Frankly Darling, Love’s opposition could include the progressive One Voice. One Voice comes off a career-best performance, a neck loss to Prix Diane (French Oaks) winner Fancy Blue in the Falmouth Stakes on July 30 at Goodwood. The Yorkshire Oaks has been a hot prep for the Arc the last three years, won in 2017 by Enable, who went on to win the Arc that year, and in 2018 by Sea of Class, who just came up short of Enable in the Arc. Enable won the race again last season before finishing second to Waldgeist in the Arc. The race is a Breeders’ Cup Challenge Win and You’re In offering the winner automatic fees-paid entry into the BC Filly and Mare Turf and travel expenses to Keeneland this fall. Post time is 10:15 a.m. Eastern, with the card available for wagering and live streaming at DRFBets.com.
