The addition of headgear had the desired effect on the regally bred Candy Love at Sale on Friday afternoon.
Trainers Anthony and Sam Freedman made the change off a below par resuming effort and the Savabeel filly responded positively with a breakthrough success over 1500 metres at her third appearance.
“I was mindful that the first time in blinkers under race day conditions that she didn’t over race and I was a pair further back than I would have liked,” winning rider Daniel moor said.
“I was able to build the revs though and had the race is keeping a long way out. She’s still quite immature and learning her craft and she will get out over more distance.”
A sister to two-time winner Newley Wed, The Waikato Stud-bred and raced Candy Love settled toward the back of the field before improving near the turn and came with a well-timed run to score with authority.
She is a daughter of the O’Reilly mare Absolutely Me and she is a half-sister to the multiple Group 1-winning half-siblings Glamour Puss and Vision And Power.
It is also the family of the G1 Coolmore Classic winners Steps In Time and Espiona.
Absolutely Me has an unraced Savabeel two-year-old filly and produced another daughter by him last year before another return visit to the champion stallion.
