A Sizzling Summer For NOT FOR LOVE

Leading Sire Gets Stakes Winners 58 & 59 on August 1st!

08/03/2009- Within a span of a little over an hour Cynthia and Charles McGinnes accomplished a rare feat as breeders of NOT FOR LOVE's two newest stakes winners with the exploits of FOR ROYALTY and TARGET SIGHTED.

The 2-year-old filly FOR ROYALTY kicked off the day at Mountaineer in the Mountaineer Juvenile Fillies S., defeating six others for owner Twin Creeks Racing Stable and trainer Todd Pletcher. The top-priced sales yearling for her sire in 2008 when selling for $250,000 at Saratoga, FOR ROYALTY got her second win in as many starts.

It was a spin over the turf going two turns for TARGET SIGHTED, who rallied to get the victory in Laurel Park’s Humphrey S. Finney S. for Maryland-bred 3-year-olds. The gelding from Frannie Campitelli’s barn races in the name of The Maltese Cross II, a partnership of Cynthia and Charles McGinnes, Philip Torsney and Francis Clemens.

Look for NOT FOR LOVE's Hip#106 at the Saratoga Selected Yearling Sale bred by the McGinnes' Thornmar Farm, Marshall Silverman, Agent.

NOT FOR LOVE has a sensational lifetime percentage of 20 percent stakes horses per starters, with 17 stakes horses to date in 2009! And with only half the year in the books, he has surpassed $3 million in progeny earnings—the ninth consecutive year he’s hit that mark.
