Description
Dark Love is an attractive quality mare by champion sire More Than Ready. She is correct and stands 15.3hh. She is from a very good Bob Peters family. Her full sister Dark Miss is the dam of the Western Australian Oaks winner Dark Choice and stakes placed Mrs America. She is also a half-sister to stakes winner Cohort. Dark Love's first foal Dawson is the winner of five races to 2023 in Macau. She has a very nice 2 yo Epaulette filly Midnight Affair in the David Pfieffer stable. Dark Love is very good to handle, quiet for the farrier and in the crush. She is up to date with her Hendra and Duvaxyn Vaccinations. She is in foal to the stunning first season son of Capitalist in Captivant, the gr 1 winner of the Champagne Stakes and a very close second to Anamoe in the Caulfield Guineas. Captivant stands at Kia-Ora Stud for a fee of $27,500 this season.
