True Love

True Love is a three-year-old with the kind of record that makes you sit up and pay attention. In 11 races, she has won 5 and finished in the money in all but one, which works out to a 45% win rate — remarkably consistent for a young horse at this level. Her form over the last six runs tells the story of a genuinely talented animal: three wins, two seconds, and a third. She raced just yesterday, so she is still very much in active training and firing regularly.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

What makes True Love special is the company she keeps and what she has already achieved. She is trained by Aidan O'Brien at Cashel, whose yard sent out 125 winners this season alone, and her most frequent partner in the saddle is jockey Ryan Moore, who has won three of six races aboard her — a 50% win rate that speaks to an obvious understanding between horse and rider. More tellingly, True Love won a pair of top-class races: a Class 1 victory at Ascot in June 2025 that doubled as her maiden win, and another Class 1 success at Newmarket the following September. She loves fast, dry ground, winning three of four races on those conditions — a 75% win rate that suggests she has genuine preference for firm going.

O'Brien has hinted at genuine ambition for her future. After her Newmarket win in May 2026, she noted that while she is a powerhouse and unusually quick for her pedigree — she is by No Nay Never, a sire known for producing sprinters — the question of whether she will stay a mile remains genuinely open. Her record includes top-level victories at shorter distances, including high-profile two-year-old races like the Queen Mary and Cheveley Park. The trainer sees potential in America as well, where her strong constitution and mind would travel well. For now, at three years old and still actively racing, True Love remains a work in progress with genuine high-class form already under her belt.
