4th-LRL, $41,320, Msw, 3-12, 3yo, 6f, 1:12.34, ft.
+NO MO DOUGH (c, 3, Uncle Mo–Twenty One A. C., by Deputy Minister) rallied from last to first and kicked in strongly in the lane, flying home to graduate first out at Laurel. Taking a lot of early play before drifting up to 16-5 by post, the bay was off about a length slowly along with several others and dropped out run last of six behind dawdling splits of :24.23 and :48.94. Winding up while spinning five-wide nearing the straightaway, the homebred swept to the lead at the eighth pole and drew clear impressively to score by 2 3/4 lengths, getting his final furlong in a sharp :11.59. Metallic (Medaglia d'Oro) was placed second via disqualification due to initial runner-up Twin Valor (Into Mischief) drifting into his path in midstretch. The winner is a half to Terrific Storm (Storm Cat), MSP, $374,219, and has a 2-year-old full-brother named More Mo. His dam is a half to MGISW Wekiva Springs (Runaway Groom). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $22,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
