LOVE SOPHIA was a NZ$200,000 yearling purchase by renowned yearling judge Kieran Moore. This was the equal highest price paid for a PINS yearling filly in 2011 (33 offered).
.
Unfortunately her racing career was bought to an abrupt halt when she sustained an injury to a pedal bone when running 4th at Wyong (1350m) at only her second start. Her trainer Greg Hickman felt she was heading in the right direction to become a Sydney class performer over middle distances
.
LOVE SOPHIA is by leading NZ stallion PINS (by SNIPPETS). Apart from having sired over 50 SW's to date, PINS is also starting to do an outstanding job as a broodmare sire, with his daughters already having produced the likes of BRAMBLES (QTC Derby), GOLDEN ARCHER (multiple G3/LR) and HIGH FASHION (2012/2013 NZ Group 3 winner). His percentage of SW/Runners as a broodmare sire is currently 7.5% - this compares very favourably with ZABEEL who is currently at 6.5% SW/Runners
.
LOVE SOPHIA is the 3rd foal of the winning O'REILLY mare LUCIDA. Her 1st foal BEJEWELLED was a winner and is now at stud, her 1st season being covered by SAVABEEL. LUCIDA'S 2nd foal was top class race filly PLACEMENT (by SAVABEEL), a winner of just under $500,000 incl: 2nd in the VRC Wakeful Stakes (Group 2) and 3rd in the VRC Oaks (Group 1). She is also now at stud and was covered by STRATUM in 2012. LUCIDA's 4th foal, a 2011 colt by PINS (a brother to LOVE SOPHIA) was a top class individual and was purchased by the HK Jockey Club for $360,000 at the Australian Easter Yearling Sale earlier this year. LUCIDA has a 2012 SAVABEEL filly and was covered by SAVABEEL in 2012
.
Her female line continues to grow in stature, with quite a bit of black type being added to the catalogue page within the past couple of seasons. Apart from the aforementioned PLACEMENT, you can also add STRIKE THE STARS (G3 winner/G1 placed), DIADEME (G3 winner) and MARSEILLE ROULETTE (LR winner of 2013 Inglis 2yo Classic). This family is certainly heading in the right direction at present
.
Due to the injury sustained at her last start LOVE SOPHIA is being offered as a broodmare prospect only.
