Ultimate Love and Ruiz were in no hurry after breaking from post three, placing themselves in a comfortable fourth, three-and-a-half lengths behind leader Celebrity Warrior (Ire) and She\u2019s Country in second around the first turn. Ultimate Love patiently continued in fourth down the backstretch before she began targeting the leaders with a three-wide move around the second turn after slow fractions of :24.36 and :49.74 on the firm turf. Celebrity Warrior turned for home a length-and-a-half in front of Ultimate Love in second on the outside but was unable to vend off the challenge as Ultimate Love took over with a burst in the final furlong. Ultimate Love stretched her lead to four lengths under the wire while finishing in 1:43.58. Celebrity Warrior was second by a length-and-a-half faster than Sweet Little Lila (Ire) third. She\u2019s Country, Autonome, Lovely Grey, Amberia (Ire) and Spitfire completed the order of finish.<\/p>\n
Ultimate Love paid $5 to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery laid back,\u201d Trombetta said of Ultimate Love. \u201cI told [Ruiz] in the paddock today that you have a good post. Hopefully, you can find a good spot that you like, and he did a good job of it. I was a little concerned when [Celebrity Warrior] got loose by itself. She had a very good number in her first start.\u201d<\/p>\n Ultimate Love was introduced with a smart two-and-a-three-quarters of a length win against\u00a0maiden special weight fillies<\/a>\u00a0going a mile on the turf Colonial Downs on July 24, circling four-wide between horses in the turn before drawing clear to win by nearly three lengths.<\/p>\n Although impressive in her first race, she improved in her next start to win by six-and-three-quarters lengths against\u00a0first condition, $62,500 optional claiming fillies<\/a>\u00a0at Laurel Park on Sept. 5, again going a mile on the grass.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ultimate Love is by Curlin out of Tsunami of Love<\/a>, by Bernardini and is a half-sister to two winners, including Oceans of Love<\/a>, by More Than Ready\u2014an allowance winner around two turns on the Woodbine turf.<\/p>\n \u201cCurlin will get you dirt. The dam-side is more turf. What I like about this filly is that I think she\u2019s going to be a mile-and-an-eighth, mile-and-a-quarter type of filly,\u201d Trombetta said.<\/p>\n Trombetta also admitted that he may consider the Breeders\u2019 Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) for Ultimate Love. Sharing, winner of the 2019 Selima, won that year\u2019s Breeders\u2019 Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf in her following start.<\/p>\n \u201cThose thoughts crossed my mind as she crossed the finish line,\u201d Trombetta said.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/47272-Bobby-Jones-OBS-Oct-2025_1200w2w-600x400.png\")
