Sunday Insight: Well-Bred Daughter Of The Late Uncle Mo Makes The Gulfstream Gate

6th-GP, $65K, Msw, 2yo, f, 7f, 2:47 p.m. ET.
Poised for her unveiling under the care of trainer Todd Pletcher, GHANAAYEM (Uncle Mo) is a $750,000 Shadwell purchase during Keeneland September. Bred by Don Alberto on the same Uncle Mo-Bernardini cross as current sires Mo Town and Modernist, the filly is out of GI Chandelier Stakes heroine Angela Renee. This dam is also responsible for GSP Gilded Age (Medaglia d'Oro) and Thielen (Curlin), a $1.75 million buy from the 2022 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale. Angela Renee is a full-sister to MGISW To Honor and Serve and a half-sister to GISP Elnaawi (Street Sense). Digging a little deeper into Ghanaayem's extended female family we find GIII Pocahontas Stakes victress La Cara (Street Sense) and Japanese multiple Group 1 stakes hero Mozu Ascot (Frankel {GB}).
