Belmont Debut Winner for Uncle Mo

Promising colt Mo for the Money (2c Uncle Mo x Unenchantedevening, by Unbridled’s Song) belied a lack of interest from punters to score a tenacious debut win at Belmont on Wednesday. The Anthony Dutrow trained Mo for the Money travelled just behind the leaders before taking over down the running and held off a strong challenge by the hot favourite Seymourdini to win the six furlong maiden by half a length. A $225,000 Keeneland September Yearling purchase, Mo for the Money runs for Alex and Joann Leiblong and is a three-quarter brother to stakes-winner Indian Evening from a half-sister to US Horse of the Year and Champion 2YO Favorite Trick. Mo for the Money is the 16^th winner for Champion 2YO Uncle Mo, who is on target to be crowned Champion US First Crop Sire of 2015.
