+FORGET ME NOT (f, 2, Uncle Mo–Moroccan Rose {SP}, by Carson City) took strong play in this debut at Delaware and did not disappoint, shaking off pace pressure and drawing clear to score. Showing an above-average worktab, capped by a five-furlong breeze here in 1:00 1/5 (5/23), the $260,000 KEESEP buy was backed to 8-5 favoritism and sat a close second through a :22.11 quarter. Facing challengers on either side around the turn, the dark bay kicked clear past the three-sixteenths pole and finished up well to graduate by 2 1/2 lengths over Silla Manila (Majesticperfection). The win gave trainer Larry Jones a sweep of the day's 2-year-old races after he took the second event on the card with Amiability (Shanghai Bobby). The victress has a yearling half-sister by Paynter and a weanling half-sister by Temple City. Her dam was bred to Kantharos this spring. Sales History: $72,000 RNA Wlg '15 FTKNOV. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $20,400. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
