Super run hands God of Love Open Allowance/graded Stakes event

God of Love, the Fitzgerald Richards-conditioned four-yearold bay gelding, turned in a superlative performance to win the $2-million, top-rated Open Allowance/graded Stakes event on the 10-race propramme at Caymanas Park yesterday.

Ridden by the bustling Dane Nelson, God of Love (Adore The Gold–shanda D) led from start to finish in an electrifying length-and-a-quarter win going six furlongs (1,200m) in a blistering 1:11.2.

At the off, Nelson drove God of Love in front and held the lead ahead of Father Patrick (Omar Walker) and Truly Amazing (Aaron Chatrie) approaching the half-mile (800m). Turning for home, Nelson with vigorous diamond change of holds, got God of Love to turn on the pressure in deep stretch as the bay gelding cruised home fairly comfortable in the end. Truly Amazing did well to get second place, holding off the fast-finishing Drummer Boy (Jerome Innis) in third place.
