Bivouac sires another 2YO winner

Godolphin’s strong finish to the juvenile season rolled on at Geelong on Thursday, where promising youngster Loving secured his maiden victory in style.

The James Cummings-trained gelding, partnered by Ben Allen, had made his debut at Hawkesbury on May 15 where he finished fourth at long odds. That experience clearly sharpened him up for his next assignment.

Relocating to Victoria, Loving unleashed a powerful run from the back of the field to claim the 1200m maiden, hitting the line hard to win by a long head.

By Bivouac, Loving is the fourth foal and fourth winner out of stakes-winning Street Cry (IRE) mare Maternal. Maternal is a daughter of the exceptional four-time Group I winner Divine Madonna and is also the grand-dam of Group II ATC Todman Stakes winner Tentyris from earlier this season.

Maternal’s breeding career continues with a Too Darn Hot (GB) yearling colt already named Accompany, and she foaled a colt by Microphone last spring.

Loving brings Bivouac’s tally of winners to five, three of which are already Group winners: Beiwacht (G2), Intention (G2), and Luana Miss.

Bivouac is standing at Darley NSW for a service fee of $55,000 this breeding season.
