New Winner for Bivouac

Tara Madgwick - Thursday June 5

Godolphin have been  enjoying a winning run with their late season juveniles and it continued at Geelong on Thursday where Bivouac gelding Loving opened his account.

Trained by James Cummings and ridden by Ben Allen, Loving was fourth on debut at Hawkesbury on May 15 at long odds and obviously took good benefit from the outing.

Sent south to Victoria, he produced a strong finish from back in the field to charge home and win the 1200m maiden by a long head.

Loving is the fourth winner from four foals to race from stakes-winning Street Cry (IRE) mare Maternal, a daughter of four time Group I winner Divine Madonna, who is also the grand-dam of this season’s Group II ATC Todman Stakes winner Tentyris.

Maternal has a yearling colt to follow by Too Darn Hot (GB) that has already been named Accompany and she had a colt by Microphone last spring.

Loving is the fifth winner for Bivouac and three are stakes-winners – Beiwacht (G2), Intention (G2) and Luana Miss.

Bivouac stands at Darley NSW at a fee of $55,000 this spring.
