MOBEAUTIFUL (f, 3, Uncle Mo–Switchboard, by Bernardini) entered Sunday off a local three-furlong bullet work in :36 1/5 (1/6) Feb. 1. Sent off at 3-1, the bay sat comfortably in second through the early stages, three lengths off a pacesetter R Little Secret (Kantharos). Mobeautiful ranged alongside that leader at the quarter pole while in hand and took the lead just outside the eighth pole. She drifted out badly into the center of the stretch at the sixteenth pole, but held on for a length victory. Starship Zodiac (Justin Phillip) finished well for second while R Little Secret faded to third. Mobeautiful's third dam is GSW Speed Dialer (Phone Trick). This is the first winner out of her maiden dam Switchboard, who recently RNA'd for $37,000 at last year's Keeneland November sale. She has juvenile and yearling fillies by Rattlesnake Bridge and was bred to Bodemeister last season. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $25,800.
