Terror to Love

A failed attempt at the Miracle Mile Pace followed the Cup victory, before the horse was spelled before an autumn campaign.

A narrow second in the Canterbury Classic and an easy win in the Ashburton Flying Stakes followed, which saw the horse start a short-priced favourite in the Cup.

In the Cup, he moved outside the leader with a lap to go, took the lead, then driver Ricky May elected to hand up to other runners, putting him three-back.

The remainder of his five-year-old campaign produced wins in the Easter Cup and Five Year-Old Emerald, as well as a second placing in the Miracle Mile Pace.

Terror rallied gamely to hold off Fly Like An Eagle by a neck with a further 1-1/4 lengths to Christen Me in 3rd, thus becoming the 3rd horse to win the New Zealand Trotting Cup three times, joining Indianapolis (1934, 1935 and 1936) and False Step (1958, 1959 and 1960).

[7] Terror To Love won the Auckland Pacing Cup in March 2014 beating Adore Me by 1 length.

Terror To Love's record was 76 starts for 31 Wins, 16 seconds and 7 thirds and he earned total stakes of $2,429,978.
