FIRST WINNER FOR SIRE
1st-WDS, £7,100, Cond, 5-8, 2yo, 5f 21yT, 1:00.62, g/f.
DECLARATIONOFLOVE (IRE) (c, 2, Declaration of War–Mary's Daughter {GB} {GSP-Eng}, by Royal Applause {GB}), third last time at Brighton Apr. 25, started at 5-1 and tracked the leading duo early. Gaining the lead with a furlong remaining, the €28,000 GOFORB yearling stayed on to score by 1 1/4 lengths from Spoof (GB) (Poet's Voice {GB}). Declarationoflove, who is the first foal out of the G3 Firth of Clyde S. runner-up Mary's Daughter, becomes the first winner for his Ashford Stud-based first-season sire (by War Front). His third dam is Flirtation (GB) (Pursuit of Love {GB}), responsible for the European champion 2-year-old filly Attraction (GB) (Efisio {GB}) who went on to become the first in history to pull off the G1 English and Irish 1000 Guineas and G1 Coronation S. treble and was also successful in the G1 Sun Chariot S. and G1 Matron S. She later produced Ballydoyle's G3 Sapphire S. winner Fountain of Youth (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and also Cushion (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) who ran second in the GIII My Charmer H. and GIII Violet S. Next up from Mary's Daughter is a yearling colt by No Nay Never.lain Lifetime Record: 3-1-0-1, $6,783. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
