MIRATIO (f, 3, Verrazano–My Fast One, by Elusive Quality) is the latest to make the races from her dam, a half-sister to SW No Mo Dough (Uncle Mo), whose daughter Lecce Baroque (Uncle Mo) made an enormous impression in Japan last season, winning her first two starts by a combined 19 lengths, including a 10-length debut score around this time last year. This is also the deeper female family of the popular handicap horse of the late 1990s, Wekiva Springs. Miratio was entered for, but was withdrawn from Keeneland September in 2019.
