MONKEYS UNCLE (f, 2, Uncle Mo–Humor Section, by After Market) was a $180,000 FTKJUL yearling turned $300,000 OBSMAR buy after breezing :10 2/5. Hammered down to 4-5 favoritism for this career bow, the dark bay pressed from a close-up second through an opening quarter in :23 3/5 and a half in :48 flat. Sticking her head in front on the backstretch run, the juvenile charged clear in the lane and held off a late surge from Tula (Hat Trick {Jpn}) to win by a half-length. The winner is the first foal out of Humor Section, who is also responsible for a yearling filly by Verrazano and a 2018 filly by Shanghai Bobby. The daughter of MGISW Lazy Slusan (Slewvescent) and half-sister to Last Full Measure (Empire Maker) was bred back to Bernardini. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $20,400.
