MO SMART (f, 3, Uncle Mo–Smart Stride, by Smart Strike)crushed a next-out graduate (and stablemate) by 7 1/2 lengths to don cap and gown going seven eighths at Gulfstream Feb. 25. Facing just three foes here, she looked a shoe-in on paper despite the added distance and was backed down to prohibitive 1-5 odds. Tracking the top two while well off the inside through splits of :24.38 and :48.71, she took over turning for home and built on her advantage as she pleased, crossing the line a baker's dozen in front. A $65,000 KEENOV RNA and $150,000 Fasig-Tipton July yearling, Mo Smart is a granddaughter of GSW Shawklit Mint (Air Forbes Won). She has an unraced 2-year-old half-brother named Furtherinstruction (Take Charge Indy) and a foal half-brother by Midshipman. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $49,740.
