A Marvelous Month For Not For Love...

Runners Blossom In The Month Of May With Four Stakes Wins

06/01/2009- NOT FOR LOVE maintained his dominance as the region’s leading sire with six stakes horses during the month of May, including four stakes winners!

The fillies showed of their talent during the month as SMART AND FANCY and BLIND DATE turned in exciting wins at Pimlico on Preakness weekend Friday, AMIE’S LEGEND concluded the Pimlico meet on May 23 with her first stakes win, and LOVE THAT DANCE strolled home at Monmouth Park on May 31 to finish off the month in fine style.

SMART AND FANCY, her sire’s leading earner, launched her 2009 campaign with a display of talent and determination to win The Very One S. BLIND DATE got her second stakes win in a month when sweeping to victory in the Hilltop S. AMIE’S LEGEND (pictured) recorded a daylight score in the Shine Again S. And LOVE THAT DANCE topped a $226.80 NOT FOR LOVE exacta over LOVE FOR NOT when dominating in the Open Mind H. at Monmouth.

And earlier 2009 stakes winner NOT FOR SILVER rallied to a solid second-place finish in the Gr. 3 Hirsch Jacobs S. on Preakness Day at Pimlico.

NOT FOR LOVE has a dozen stakes horses to date in 2009, upping his total to 108 from 528 lifetime starters, an amazing 20 percent stakes horses per starters! And with lifetime $83,036 average earnings per starter, that’s a lot of love to go around.
