Roxa Love

That first win came at Brighton on 22 June 2026, just days ago, and it already tells you something useful: Roxa Love handles Brighton, a famously quirky, undulating track built on the side of a hill that catches plenty of horses out on their first visit. Winning there as a two-year-old, in only your second career race, is not nothing.

Behind the horse is the Newmarket yard of George Boughey, one of the most productive training operations in Britain right now. Boughey's team has sent out 99 winners already this season — a number that reflects a yard running at serious intensity and quality. When a trainer at that level bothers to point a two-year-old at Brighton and comes away with a winner, it suggests they saw something worth testing. Roxa Love, for her part, passed the test.

With just two races in the book, it would be premature to draw sweeping conclusions — but the foundation is solid. A win rate of 50 percent (1 from 2) is the kind of number that, in reality, almost never holds at that level over a long career, but right now it reflects a horse that has shown ability from the very start and has yet to run a bad race. Whatever comes next, Roxa Love arrives at it with form, freshness, and a trainer who clearly knows what he is doing.
