Q B One, Beholder's first foal, in Mandella's barn

The 2-year-old colt Q B One arrived at trainer Richard Mandella’s stable at Santa Anita last Friday with a big reputation.
Q B One, by Uncle Mo, is the first foal out of four-time champion Beholder, a fixture in Mandella’s stable from 2012-16.
“He’s a big, gangly colt,” Mandella said. “He’s pretty good-sized.”
Owned by breeder B. Wayne Hughes, Q B One galloped at Santa Anita on Saturday and Sunday, Mandella said.
