Sunday Insights: Uncle Mo Half To Matareya Debuts At Fair Grounds

6th-FG, 58K, Msw, 3yo/up, 6f, 4:15 p.m.

The half-brother to MGISW Matareya (Pioneerof the Nile), DARROW (Uncle Mo) debuts at Fair Grounds Sunday as a Godolphin homebred for trainer Brad Cox. Out of GSW Innovative Idea who already has three winners from three runners, the colt goes back to third dam Caress who Godolphin picked up for $3.1m out of Keeneland November back in 2000. That Storm Cat mare produced GISW and sire Sky Mesa (Pulpit) as well as Velvety (Bernardini) who became the dam of MGISW and young stallion Maxfield (Street Sense). TJCIS PPS

One race later, Susan's Boy (Candy Ride {Arg}) will route on debut for C R K Stable and Cherie DeVaux in his first start since bringing $850,000 at Keeneland September last year. He is out of a half to MGSW Private Mission (Into Mischief) and to the dam of GISW Dunbar Road (Quality Road). This is the family of GI Kentucky Oaks winner Secret Status (A.P. Indy) and her son Dunkirk (Unbridled's Song) who sold for $3.7m as a yearling before finishing runner up in both the GI Belmont Stakes and the GI Florida Derby. TJCIS PPS
