Trained by Joe Manzi,[1] she was the first filly to win both the Kentucky Oaks and Hollywood Oaks.[1] Her lifetime earnings were $1,375,465,[2] and she had 13 wins from 34 races.[1] Fran's Valentine was bred at Green Thumb Farm Stables, in Chino, California[5] by Earl Scheib, an entrepreneur who made his fortune in discounted car paint.[3] Both of Fran's Valentine's parents, her dam Iza Valentine, and her sire, Saros, were owned by Scheib.[7] Scheib named Fran's Valentine after his wife Fran;[7] the filly was his favourite horse.[4] Racing careerIn November 1984, as a two-year-old, Fran's Valentine was first over the line in her first race, the inaugural Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Hollywood Park.[5] Although she finished first by half a length, Fran's Valentine was relegated to tenth after stewards judged that she had bumped another horse at the top of the back stretch.[6] The decision move her jockey, Pat Valenzuela, to tears.[6] Scheib, who was well known for starring in television commercials promoting his discount car-painting business, was asked why he was still smiling in the commercial that aired just after the race; his questioner had not realized that the commercial had been recorded in advance.[5] Fernando Toro, the jockey of Pirate's Glow who was bumped during the race, said he could have been killed, and criticized Valenzuela's riding.[14] The win was awarded to Outstandingly, the filly that was second across the line.[7] On March 2, 1985, Fran's Valentine won the Las Virgenes Stakes at Santa Anita to win $77,150.[8] Later that month, ridden by Pat Valenzuela, she won the Grade I Santa Susana Stakes by two and a half lengths, earning $122,100.[5] Her next race, in May 1985, was the Kentucky Oaks.[5] Fran's Valentine was the first filly that her trainer, Joe Manzi, had entered into the Oaks,[5] and she won in a record time for the track,[1] again ridden by Valenzuela.[9] The track was hard, her preferred type of surface.[6] In July 1985, Fran's Valentine won the Hollywood Oaks by a head over Magnificent Lindy; this was her fifth stakes victory in six starts.[10] Chris McCarron rode her to this victory in a record time for the track of 1:47.25.[10] Her winnings were $93,300, with an additional Breeders Cup award of $27,000.[10] In August 1986, she won the Grade II Chula Vista Handicap on a track that was hard,[6] and in 1987 she won the Santa Maria Handicap (Grade II).[1] Retirement and studAfter racing, Fran's Valentine became a broodmare; six of her ten foals became winners,[11] including With Anticipation, a Grade I winning horse who earned over $2.6 million in his career.[11] After having her third foal, she was bought by George W. Strawbridge Jr.[1] Fran's Valentine was retired to Derry Meeting Farm, Cochranville, Pennsylvania, where she lived until she was euthanized at the age of 25 due to old age.[12] References1. ^{{cite web|title=NTRA Thoroughbred Notebook.
