KAPOOR (f, 3, Uncle Mo--Kareena {SW, $148,000}, by Medaglia d'Oro) had strung together back-to-back third-place efforts in her first two jumps--Feb. 9 at Gulfstream Park and again Apr. 7 at Keeneland--and the betting public couldn't take their eyes off her here, crowning the Godolphin homebred the 6-5 favorite for her third attempt to graduate.
