Call Me Goo’s dad, Googoo Gaagaa, was a world champion with wicked speed, and her mom, Callmemza, won multiple Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund finals. Her sister Callmegaga was a one time Maryland Sire Stakes record holder, and her grandfather, Great George Two, while quirky, could fly. So it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that Call Me Goo is a talented horse. On Tuesday night (April 23) at Rosecroft, the 4-year-old started her new year in fine fashion romping to victory in the $25,900 Maryland Sire Stakes for 4- and 5-year-old trotters in 1:54.2.
