At stud he also sired Singspiel, Mamool, Inglis Drever, Adlerflug (German Derby), Act One (Prix Lupin) and Kutub (Singapore Gold Cup).

As a descendant of the broodmare Prompt Payment, J'ai Deux Amours was a distant relative of Chief Singer and Pleasantly Perfect[5] Winged Love was acquired by Sheikh Mohammed and sent into training with André Fabre at Chantilly in France.

Ridden by Thierry Jarnet, he started the 2.6/1 second favourite but after reaching second place in the straight he was unable to quicken on the soft ground and finished seventh of the eight runners behind the Criquette Head-trained Poliglote.

He was unable to make further progress, but ran on under a strong ride from Peslier to finish third, beaten half a length and a short head by Celtic Swing and Poliglote with Classic Cliche in fourth.

Winged Love took the lead a quarter mile from the finish but was quickly challenged and overtaken by Definite Article on the outside with Celtic Swing making a run even further wide.

After looking beaten, the French colt rallied strongly to regain the lead in the final strides and won by a short head from Definite Article, with Annus Mirabilis three quarters of a length away in third ahead of Oscar Schindler.

[10] Three weeks after his win at the Curragh, Winged Love was matched against older horses for the first time when he contested Britain's most prestigious weight-for-age race, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot Racecourse, and started 9/2 fourth choice in the betting behind Lammtarra, Carnegie and Pentire.
