Housatonic Bloodstock privately purchased Wild For Love in October of 2018 on behalf of Wasabi Ventures Stables, carrying a foal from the first crop of Maryland sire Divining Rod. That foal, delivered the next March, was sold privately as a weanling to local trainer John Salzman, Jr., on behalf of owner Bird Mobberley. Now named Local Motive, he picked up his third stakes win in the February 19th Miracle Wood Stakes at Laurel under JD Acosta, increasing his career earnings to $234,160 from a (9) 4-0-2 running line.
