Study Of Man’s Sons And Lovers Lands Red Sea Turf Handicap On Valentine’s Day

[Wandering Eyes]

Sons And Lovers (Study Of Man) delivered a thrilling finish in Riyadh on Saturday, taking the G2 Red Sea Turf Handicap, presented by Longines. One of two in the field for Joseph O'Brien, the gelding covered the 3000-metre trip in 3:11.57.   Tabletalk (Camelot) ran second, while Tarriance (Frankel) was third.

O'Brien stablemate Tennessee Stud (Wootton Bassett) showed the way for much of this contest, after passing a keen Sons And Lovers in the early stages. The eventually winner sat third against the fence for much of this, before splitting horses at the quarter-pole and outkicking his rivals.

The five-year-old gelding, who races for H O S Syndicate, was third in the G3 CMG Group Stakes last out in September.
