Emily Love

What makes her genuinely interesting is what's happened recently. In America — a significant move for any horse — she has won five races from just 11 starts, a rate that works out at roughly 45%, which is exceptional. That kind of form abroad suggests she's a horse capable of handling serious competition. Her last win came at Tramore on 30 May 2026, four months ago, but Elliott's plan is deliberate rather than concerning: he's giving her a break before moving her into novice chasing in the spring, on fast, dry ground. That's a significant step up in her career, and the trainer clearly believes she has the jumping ability and athleticism to succeed at it.

The jockey Carl Millar, who has ridden her, noted something telling after a recent race at Kilbeggan: she got upset at the start because they were beginning beside the stable yard, but once racing, she was straightforward and jumped well. That kind of detail matters — it shows a horse that understands what racing is about and has the natural ability to jump cleanly. Sam Ewing has ridden her twice with one win, though that's a small sample. With Elliott's backing and her recent form abroad, Emily Love looks like a horse with genuine potential ahead of a new chapter in the spring.
