FIRST CALL BOB (c, 4, Uncle Mo--Walk Close {GSW, $294,458}, by Tapit) was late to the races, but he was first home on this unveiling. Giving the gate crew some trouble before the start, they finally managed to convince him to load and he broke well to push the leading pair until about the half-mile marker. Taking over at the three-eighths as Mainstream (Speightstown) tried to mount a response, the 9-2 shot kicked away from his would-be challengers and won by 3 1/4 lengths over Love'em Or Liam (Liam's Map)...

The betting public couldn't take their eyes off him before the race, and Code Review (Uncle Mo) never stopped going in the lane after posting brisk early fractions, striding home to become his late sire's newest 'TDN Rising Star. presented by Hagyard' at Gulfstream Park.

On a narrow advantage at the head of affairs with challengers mounting bids on both sides, he responded...

Needless to say, some people are always going to chase the fast buck. In the main, however, we all know this to be the longest of games. You can't drive the green from every tee; nor should you panic if your first drive lands in the water. There are 17 more holes to go. For Jane Lyon and her late husband Frank, one of the least fulfilling days in their Turf journey must have been the GI Matron Stakes of 2005. They had just made an expensive gamble to restore...

Domino Vitali (Uncle Mo), one of just two first-time starters in the field, made a winning debut for Amo Racing after they picked her up for $600,000 at OBS March last year. Quickly to the front from the outside gate under Daniel Centeno, the 4-5 favorite had to shake off early pressure from Hola Hermosa (Adios Charlie) but, once free of that rival, burst clear of the back and came home largely untested six lengths ahead of Blazing Affair (Mastery). Bred by Repole Stable, who purchased West Coast Chick for...
