Daughter Of Late Great Uncle Mo Sparkles On Debut At Gulfstream

5th-Gulfstream, $40,000, Msw, 12-22, 2yo, f, 1 1/16mT, 1:40.01, fm, 3 3/4 lengths.
NOW VOYAGER (f, 2, Uncle Mo–Dream Awhile {GSW-USA, MSP-Fr, $247,689}, by War Front) carrying the colors of Joseph Allen went off as the 2-1 favorite for this unveiling. The bay tracked a pair of leaders into the first turn and settled nicely as the field raced up the backstretch. Poised to pounce around the far turn, the filly was given her cue and she roared into the lane like a jumbo jet. The homebred sealed the deal to graduate at first asking by 3 3/4 lengths over Without a Pout (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}). Her dam's second to the races, the winner counts as a half-sister a yearling named Lose the Blues (Not This Time) and she also has a half-brother by Constitution, who was foaled Apr. 27. Herself a half-sister to French stakes winner Dear Lavinia (Grand Slam), Dream Awhile was bred to American Pharoah for next season. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $24,000.
