“The filly's been working very nicely,” said trainer Bill Mott. “She's an aggressive type, but she really hasn't made any mistakes. She's put in some useful works and she's very athletic.”

Alongside her mother Helen Groves, who passed away in 2022, Helen Alexander bred and raced the winner's dam. A GISP/MGSP competitor whose signature win came in the GI Juddmonte Spinster S., Acoma hails from a deep female line which includes her dam SW Aurora (Danzig), who is out of champion 2-year-old filly Althea (Alydar). Aurora produced GISW Arch (Kris S.) in addition to Antics (Unbridled), the dam of dual Eclipse Award winner Covfefe (Into Mischief). Alexander bred Acoma to Nyquist, a colt foaled in 2022, and the mare visited Life Is Good last spring. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000.

Into Mischief (@spendthriftfarm) first time starter ROSWELL ($25.00) ran a professional stalking trip to take @GulfstreamPark race 4. A perfect trip by jockey @JuniorandKellyA for trainer Bill Mott.
