PEDIGREE PROFILE -YOUNG LOVE
By Sarah Whitelaw
When Young Love, previously successful in the Listed WSB Sweet Chestnut Stakes, captured Saturday’s Listed World Sports Betting River Jetez Stakes, she provided her sire Twice Over with a seventh black type win of the season.
At the time of writing, Twice Over ranks below only Vercingetorix, Silvano,Gimmethegreenlight, Flower Alley and Trippi in terms of black type races won for the 2021-2022 season.
It has been Twice Over’s most successful year in terms of individual stakes winners and stakes races won, with his three-year-olds enjoying particular success. This season, thus far, Twice Over has had more stakes winning three-year-olds than such standout stallions as Vercingetorix, Rafeef, Silvano and Querari -which is no mean feat!
However, Young Love also owes plenty of her ability to her female line. She is out of the useful Rosie Tibb, who won four times up to 2000 metres. A daughter of the increasingly successful broodmare sire Casey Tibbs, Rosie Tibb numbers G2 Gold Bracelet/G3 Victress Stakes winner Razzle Dazzle Rose as a half-sister, as well as the smart Silver Rose -twice placed in the G3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup.
Rosie Tibb was produced by the smart racemare, and Listed Jockey Club Stakes third place-getter, Sydney Rose, a daughter of G1 Breeders’ Cup Mile winner and champion Australian sire Last Tycoon.
The latter enjoyed plenty of success with his handful of runners in South Africa headed by multiple G1 winning champion Tracy’s Element, G1 Star Sprint winner Super Sheila, G2 Gold Circle Derby winner Double Reef and the G1 winning Equus Champion Tytola. Last Tycoon was also an outstanding broodmare sire -his broodmare daughters have produced numerous high-class performers including champion Japanese sire King Kamehameha and South African raced champion, and former Dubai Sheema Classic winner, Sun Classique, to name but two.
His daughter Sydney Rose, a granddaughter of G1 Western Australian Oaks winner Lowanna Rose, was a half-sister to G1 Karrakatta Plate runner up Rose Of Dane.
Intriguingly, Rosie Tibb is closely inbred to mighty racehorse and sire Mill Reef -with the latter broodmare sire of both Rosie Tibb’s sire Casey Tibbs and her broodmare sire Last Tycoon. (Last Tycoon’s aforementioned son Double Reef was another sharing this Mill Reef inbreeding pattern).
Young Love herself is bred on the same Twice Over/Casey Tibbs cross as both Saturday’s G1 Hollywoodbets Durban July contender, and already dual July winner, Do It Again and her own smart stablemate Double Charge. (In fact, Young Love is a three-parts sister to Double Charge -with both horses sporting Sydney Rose as their granddam).
