7th-Saratoga, $88,000, (S), Msw, 8-11, 2yo, 6f, 1:12.00, ft, 2 1/4 lengths.
TRUST FUND (c, 2, Practical Joke–Mo Savings, by Uncle Mo) played a bit of bumper cars with Inonit (Include) at the jump after rival drawn farther out veered in on them, but managed to recover well enough to lock horns in a speed duel before then taking over the lead approaching the half in :45.85. Four wide and driving on a clear advantage coming for home, Trust Fund kept to his task to come in 2 1/4 lengths best over Canigetaloan (Leofric). The first to the races for a young mare, the winner has a yearling half-sister by Vekoma, who sells as hip 349 at the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred sale at Saratoga Springs Aug. 13–and a 2023 half-sister by Tacitus. Mo Savings is herself a full-sibling to GSP Clipthecouponannie (Uncle Mo) and hails from the female family of SW Pretty Boy Freud (Freud), who was a staple in the New York Stallion series stakes, through his full-sister MSW Lights Off Annie, the second dam. Sales history: $150,000 Ylg '22 SARAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $48,400. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
