MUCHO AMOR (f, 2, Mucho Macho Man–Raucous Lady {SP}, by Rock Hard Ten) showed speed and plenty of grit down the lane to hold on for the victory, the ninth straight in a Keeneland baby race for trainer Wesley Ward and the first overall for her sire. Showing a trio of modest local works, capped by a half-mile in :49 flat (31/77) Apr. 21, the $280,000 OBS March pickup by Ben McElroy broke well from her inside stall and showed the way past a :22.66 quarter. Challenged by sneakily-bet Ben Colebrook firster Blame the Frog (Blame) at the furlong grounds, Mucho Amor dug in resolutely to stave that one off by a neck on the wire. The winner's dam dropped a filly by Sky Mesa last term before visiting Street Boss. Sales History: $135,000 Ylg '17 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000.
