Sent off as the 29-10 third choice in a field of five debuting over the one-turn mile at Gulfstream Park on Saturday afternoon, Class President (Uncle Mo) saved his best for the final furlong and kicked home a decisive winner, heading up a WinStar and Uncle Mo 1-2 finish.
Off without incident from the two hole, the bay colt secured the perfect spot at the fence from third as second choice Prize Pick (Tiz the Law) cut out the running while flanked by the debuting Easterly (Uncle Mo)–also representing WinStar, China Horse Club and First Go Racing–out wide.
Blocked for a run as they reached the quarter pole, Class President was maneuvered off heels and into the clear in upper stretch, quickly drew alongside the front-running duo and came away to a comfortable 3 1/4-length victory. Easterly was second ahead of a late-on-the-scene Boss Dylan (Liam's Map), the 4-5 chalk.
The late Uncle Mo was also represented earlier Saturday by one-time WinStar runner Star of Wonder, a $325,000 Fasig-Tipton July HORA Sale grad and half-brother to MGISW Shedaresthedevil (Daredevil) who posted a convincing victory in the Listed King Faisal Cup at King Abdulaziz Racecourse in Saudi Arabia.
A half-brother to American Speed (More Than Ready), SP, $161,700, Class President is out of a full-sister to SW Boston Post Road who is also the dam of the yearling filly Highest Standard (Justify) and a weanling filly by Nyquist. Top Quality is due to the latter for her 2026 produce.
6th-Gulfstream, $40,000, Msw, 12-27, 2yo, 1m, 1:38.33, ft, 3 1/4 lengths.
