True Love Dispels Stamina Doubts In The Priory Belle

Wait 5 sec.

Defying a Group 1 penalty in Sunday's G3 Ballylinch Stud Priory Belle Stakes at Leopardstown, Ballydoyle's Cheveley Park Stakes heroine True Love (No Nay Never) proved that seven furlongs holds no fears entering her Classic campaign.Sent off the 3-1 joint-favourite for the established 1,000 Guineas trial, the imposing Coolmore homebred who had also taken the Queen Mary and the Railway at two raced towards the fore under Ryan Moore and came up the rail to dominate the closing stages.At the line, there was 1 1/4 lengths to spare over the Daniel McLoughlin-trained 28-1 shot Magny Cours (Awtaad) in a time almost identical to Thesecretadversary's in the Red Rocks.“She's a big, pacy mare and she travelled very easily there,” Aidan O'Brien said. “Whether she gets a mile or not we don't know, but Ryan wanted to find out and rode her positively – we couldn't be sure until we saw her do it. She's a big cruiser and a classy filly, but Newmarket will depend on how Precise is – she could go to France.”True Love – now a single-figure price for the 1,000 Guineas after this impressive @BallylinchStud Priory Belle Stakes success Already a Grade 1 winner, there are surely more big prizes in her this term.@coolmorestud pic.twitter.com/40uvb3DVtx— Racing TV (@RacingTV) April 12, 2026The post True Love Dispels Stamina Doubts In The Priory Belle appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
