Mo Town Firster Gets off the Mark at Keeneland

1st-Keeneland, $75,320, Msw, 4-13, 2yo, 4 1/2f, :53.09, gd, 1 3/4 lengths.
MR. GORDY (c, 2, Mo Town–Sky Trail, by Congrats), dismissed at odds of 21-1 for his career bow, broke straight to the lead from the rail and raced just off the inside path around the turn. His lead increased turning for home and he had something left in reserve to hold off a fast-closing Ryvit (Competitive Edge) and win by 1 3/4 lengths to become the first winner for his freshman sire (by Uncle Mo), who stands at Coolmore's Ashford Stud. His dam was bred to World of Trouble for 2022. Sales History: $35,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $48,360. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
