Stud feeling the love
Loved One has continued her impressive progress through the grades for trainer John O’Shea with further success at Kembla Grange.
The Ocean Park three-year-old was successful over 1200 metres yesterday for her third win from eight appearances.

More recently, Sports Illustrated added further black type honours to the family when she won the Gr.2 Cal Isuzu Stakes.
