Love Words, a four-year-old daughter of Blue Point, gained her first Group victory on Sunday, 8 November when easily winning the G3 Premio Lydia Tesio. Run over 2000m in Rome, she was held up off the fast early pace and made stealthy progress in the straight to win going away by over two lengths.
Love Words has now won nine races from only 16 career starts including a brace of Listed races as a three-year-old last season.
Bred by Finanza Locale Consulting, Love Words is a daughter of the G3-winning mare Victoria Regina, who has produced four winners from five runners.
Blue Point has been having a superb year and has now sired 17 individual Black Type winners. They are led by European G1 winners Blue Bolt, Folsom Blues and Samangan, plus Point Barrow, who became his first Australian G1 winner yesterday in the Champions Sprint at Flemington.
At Saint-Cloud in France, Dubawi sired a Stakes double through a brace of three-year-old fillies.
First to strike was the Monceaux & LNG Foxwoods-bred Entincelle, who landed the Listed Prix Tantieme over a mile.
Later in the card, Legacy Link won her second Stakes race of the year in the Listed Solitude. The Juddmonte-homebred filly had previously won the G3 Musidora before finishing second in the G1 Oaks at Epsom.
Dubawi has now sired 29 Black Type winners in 2026, led by his seven-time G1 hero Notable Speech, winner of the Lockinge, City Of York and Woodbine Mile.
