Jersey Girls

Two Not For Love Stakes Horses At Monmouth

09/14/2009- Two of NOT FOR LOVE’s champion daughters turned heads in their appearances at the Jersey shore during the second weekend of September.

Keven Sleeter bred, owned and trained TALKIN ABOUT LOVE, New Jersey’s Horse of the Year in 2007, looped the field on the far turn and got up for the victory Monmouth Park’s Revidere S. The 5-year-old mare, winner of the Monmouth Breeders’ Cup Oaks-G3 two years ago, boosted her lifetime earnings to $646,153. The Revidere is one of a dozen stakes the chestnut mare has won or placed in during her career.

John Petrini’s homebred LOVE THAT DANCE, last year’s New Jersey-bred champion juvenile filly, has four stakes wins or placings to her credit in 2009. Her most recent was a hard-fought second-place finish against open company in the Trenton S. Giving the winner three pounds, LOVE THAT DANCE dug in to the wire and missed the victory by a half length. Winner of the Open Mind H. earlier this year, the filly has now earned $211,249 in 14 starts.
