WHOCOULDASKFORMO (f, 2, Uncle Mo–Midnight Belle, by Bernardini), third in her seven-furlong Aqueduct debut Dec. 1, ran to her 1-5 favoritism after shipping south to Tampa and picking up the added distance. Racing behind most of the field through a mild half in :49.17, she began to pick up the bridle with a rally into the far turn and swept to the front past Princess Aleska (Lord Nelson). The class of the field to the wire, Whocouldaskformo opened up a 6 1/2-length winning margin. Out of a half-sister to GI Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic winner and $3.8m broodmare purchase Unrivaled Belle, herself the dam of dual champion Unique Bella (Tapit), the winner's dam is also a half to the dams of this year's GIII Gotham S. winner Raise Cain (Violence) and GISP Sir Sahib (For Larned). Midnight Belle reported a McKinzie filly this year before visiting Violence for the spring. Sales History: $450,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $29,400.
