“She’s going to go through the divisions!” The words of winning jockey Craig Zackey will be music to the ears of owner George Nagel after Time For Love made a decent quality field look ordinary with an emphatic victory in Sunday’s R200 000 Listed Ladies Mile at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth.

A lightly raced daughter of the Australian bred Redoute’s Choice sprinter-miler Time Thief, Time For Love looked to have a tough ask off her modest 82 rating.
But she had the last laugh when she stormed home at 33-1 to beat My Flower Fate (10-1) by a length in a time of 100,59 secs and register her maiden stakes success in the process.
Rainbow Lorikeet (6-1) stayed on well for third, marginally ahead of the 33-10 tote favourite Princess Izzy in fourth. Under two lengths covered the quartet.
The race was a poignant reminder of the passing in March of Hassen Adams, as the winner was bred by Nadeson Park Stud.
The Crawford-Rix trained winner is out of the twice winning Jet Master mare, Teresina and was a well-bought R70 000 CTS Ready To Run purchase.
She has now won 3 races with 5 places from 8 starts for stakes of R335 926.
Time For Love looks one to follow.
The next Cape racemeeting is at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday 11 May.
