Won the $1,000,000 STEPHEN FOSTER-G1 at Churchill Downs going away by 2 ½ lengths over a half dozen Graded winners, running 1 1/8 miles in 1:48.09 and earning a 100 Beyer & 4 Ragozin.

4 RAGOZIN – the second fastest performance in a G1 race in 2024 (only Fierceness’s Travers was faster), and the second fastest G1 performance ever by a son of Uncle Mo (Nyquist is the only one faster to date after running a 3 1/4 in the 2016 Kentucky Derby).

At 3: Won the $1,000,000 LOUISIANA DERBY-G2 at Fair Grounds gate to wire in just his third start, defeating runner-up & millionaire Disarm by a decisive 3 ½ lengths to earn a berth into the Kentucky Derby.

Became the first horse in 18 years to win the Louisiana Derby in three or fewer starts.

Nearly undefeated as a 4yo: Won the G1 Stephen Foster, won the $300,000 BEN ALI-G3 at Keeneland by 3 ¼ lengths, won a 7-furlong Gulfstream Park Allowance race, and was a narrow runner-up in the G3 Pimlico Special.

Won his first three starts including a debut victory in a loaded Gulfstream Park MdSpWt race, defeating eventual 3-year-old Champion & multiple G1 winner Arcangelo.

Dominant 7 ¾-length allowance winner at Tampa Bay Downs in his second start to vault onto the Derby Trail.

By emerging sire of sires UNCLE MO, and arguably his most regally bred son yet to enter stud: Out of the G3-placed TAPIT mare, Lady Tapit.

An $800,000 2-year-old purchase at the Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale after breezing a quarter mile in 20.3 – the fastest time by a colt at the sale.

Earned $1,559,060, joining classic winners Nyquist & Mo Donegal as Uncle Mo’s only millionaire sons at stud with 3 or more Graded wins on dirt.
