MO PLEX (c, 2, Complexity–Mo Joy, by Uncle Mo), sent off at even money from his high draw, was hustled into contention as Man From Malta (Honest Mischief) cut out an opening quarter in :22.16. Narrowly in front approaching the quarter pole, the favorite was given his cue by Irad Ortiz Jr. straightening for home, and the New York bred shot clear late, scoring by 10 lengths over fellow firster Chasing Colton (Leofric). With the victory, Mo Plex becomes the fifth winner for Airdrie Stud's Freshman sire by Maclean's Music. Unraced dam Mo Joy is also responsible for a yearling colt by Maximus Mischief and a colt by Improbable foaled this season. Sales history: $27,000 RNA Ylg '23 SARAUG; $45,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR.
