MO SMART (f, 3, Uncle Mo–Smart Stride, by Smart Strike) was a $150,000 yearling purchase by her current connections at the Fasig-Tipton July Sale. The 4-5 favorite easily went to the front and guided the field through fractions of :22.85 and :46.37. She was still under a hand ride passing the quarter pole before kicking in another gear and easily pulled away for a 7 1/2-length graduation. Ox Eyed Daisy (Oxbow) chased the entire way to complete the all-Pletcher exacta. Mo Smart is the first foal out Smart Stride, who's was a $37,000 buy at the 2013 Keeneland November sale. She is a daughter of GSW Shawklit Mint (Air Forbes One) and has a yearling juvenile colt by Take Charge Indy. She visited Midshipman last season. Sales history: $65,000 RNA Wlg '15 KEENOV. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $25,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
