Siyouni’s Beautiful Love Storms Home In Fasig-Tipton JC Oaks

[Wandering Eyes]

Given an 18-5 chance to make amends for a disappointing sixth-place effort in Saratoga's GII Lake Placid Stakes Aug. 17, Godolphin's BEAUTIFUL LOVE (IRE) (f, 3, Siyouni {Fr}–Powder Snow, by Dubawi {Ire}) came with a barnstorming rally down the center of the Aqueduct turf course to take out Saturday's GIII Fasig-Tipton Jockey Club Oaks Invitational Stakes on Long Island. Taken well in hand out of the gates by Dylan Davis, the homebred settled in about third-last position as Macanga (American Pharoah) was aggressively ridden by Lane Luzzi and opened up a big margin on her rivals through a half-mile in a very fast :47.21. Beautiful Love was quietly ridden down the back of the course and was even shuffled back to be last but one entering the last of the three turns, but Davis got busy at that point, and opted to produce his mount wide into the stretch. Macanga was still at the head of affairs, but the peloton began to draw closer, led by Justdeny (Justify) and Caldwell Luvs Gold (Goldencents). That duo dueled deep into the final furlong, but neither could resist the flying finish from Beautiful Love, who scored cozily in the finish. It was the second win in a row in the Oaks for Godolphin, who won it with Eternal Hope (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) 12 months ago. Lifetime Record: 8-3-2-1. O/B-Godolphin; T-Charlie Appleby.
